Eye Makeup - Winter Colors

For winter makeup color, think rich! Jewel tones and luxurious browns are great for winter because they make up for the color you don’t usually have when the weather turns icy. It is also more important than ever to moisturize! Changes in temperatures, like inside with the heater to outside where it’s freezing, then back to your car where you turn the heater on, etc., can dry your skin out fast.

Use shadow colors like golden or chocolate brown, purple, berry, and mauve. Grays are good, as well, for a smoky eye effect, popular at winter night get-togethers. Stay away from the pastels if you’re exceptionally pale because they’ll just make you look more washed out. Try one color all over or mix them up. To make it simple, you can also buy duos, trios, and quads with colors meant to be worn together.

If you want to be adventurous, dabble in deep colored liners like navy, plum, hunter green, or brown. Navy makes blue eyes pop, plum makes green eyes stand out, and hazel and brown eyes look good in just about any color. Finish up with some thickening mascara and that just leaves your mouth to do.

Black eyeliner can be the finishing touch with any eye color/shadow combination.
