The trendy dark statement lip doesn't have to look vampy. The secret? Swap your black eyeliner for a soft smoky brown eye shadow palette, and use a sheer tint on cheeks to highlight them.
Frosty white doesn't work on everyone, but sheer, shimmery nudes do. Try pearly highlighters, a dewy foundation and nude shimmer powders. The finish will give you a wintery effect without looking chalky and washed out. Skip the frosty or sparkly lip gloss with this look and opt for a solid hue.
Pairing a red lip with a pearly lined eye and black mascara is a combination that's gorgeous enough for a formal holiday event, but classic enough to wear any day of the year. Try pairing a true red lip with oversized lashes, defining the inner corners and water line with a shimmery white liner.
The classic Christmas colors can be hard to pull off without looking like a tinsel garland. Instead of all-over shimmer, try breaking the colors up by pairing a silvery nail polish with shimmery gold eyeliner. Finish off the look with an all-over sheer glow.
When you think spring, pastels come to mind. Summer? Neons and other brights. So it's fair to assume that for a lot of us, the holidays mean red and green. Yet most of us tend to veer away from actually adding these holiday colors to our makeup palettes.
Why? Well, it's a daring (and frankly, often a tacky) combo. But what if we told you that there is a way to make holiday colors work? Keep reading to see our top seven winter color palettes that are guaranteed to freshen up your look this season.
