Shades of the Season: New Hues for Winter
When it comes to the holidays, it’s all about feeling fun and festive. Challenge yourself to try some new shades and looks. Here are this year’s top makeup trends to try.
- Lips: Seeing red: This year, embrace red. There’s a shade for everyone - including burnt red, neon, ruby, cherry, velvet and scarlet. Or if you’re not crazy about crimson, glossy hues of peach and apricots are also favored this holiday season.
- Lids: Smokey, shimmery and sparkle-y. A sultry, smoky eye brings a bit of sophistication to any look. Embrace silvery shades of blue, sea green and grey. Glossy whites, lavenders and shimmery golds also go great with this look.
- Lashes: Coated and clumpy. This season, you can forget the standard rules for lashes. A layered, clumpy look is all over the runways. Or, on the other side of the spectrum, short thin lashes are also a hot trend.
- Liner: Risky and rebellious. When applying your liner, consider a chic style that’s a little bit rock and roll. Pencil your liner straight across the eye, ignoring its natural curve for a rebellious, stylish look. Or, smudge dark liner along the bottom lashes and create a dramatic slope along the upper lid. And, if you’re feeling the holiday spirit, reach for a liquid gold liner.
- Cheeks: Flushed and fun. Pastels, including all shades of pink, peach and orange, are in this year. Opt for cream blends with a subtle, frosty shimmer.
- Nails: Light it up. Nail shades are all about being bright and fun. Consider a shade that compliments your eye color, or reach for a bold shade of bubblegum or bright yellow.
