Winter is the time of year, which is characterized by sharp contrasts and cold tones, so winter makeup can be much more intense than summer or spring. And since the premonition of a holiday is floating in the air, sparkles are not an extra detail of the image. In this article we will show winter eye makeup for different situations - from daily to festive, as well as make-up for thematic photo shoots.
Gentle snowflake
Let's start with delicate shades that can be worn both for work and leisure.
To repeat this winter make-up, proceed as follows:
- Use the base for the shadows so that you do not have to correct them throughout the day.
- Apply pearlescent shades of pale blue on the moving eyelid. Try not to hurt excess skin.
- On a fluffy brush, type a light gray color and paint over the fold of the eyelid. Carefully blend the border between both shades.
- With very light blue shadows, highlight the bend of the eyebrow so that it is visually higher.
- With a white pencil, outline the inner corner of the eye and carefully blend with your finger. Trim it with light blue shadows.
- Make a thin neat line with black eyeliner.
- Draw the inside of the lower eyelid with a blue pencil. Be sure to make sure that your cosmetic product is suitable for this, otherwise unpleasant reactions in the form of burning or tearing are possible. Or a pencil just won't hold.
- Use mascara.
- Even out skin tone, make rosy cheeks and complement the look with delicate shine or light lipstick.
Winter makeup for a photo shoot
Despite the wide capabilities of the program Photoshop, the image quality depends very much on the image of the model. Therefore, winter make-up for a photo should be not only beautiful and original, but also impeccable, since the camera will only highlight all the shortcomings.

Winter fairy tale
Intense turquoise colors will look very beautiful on girls with light, porcelain skin and dark hair.
How to make this winter makeup for brunettes?
- To get started, use the base under the shade and powder it on top with regular face powder.
- Then apply flesh-colored shadows . They should not give any shade, they should be applied only to facilitate shading of the remaining shades.
- Then take a light brown color and shade the crease of the eyelid. This completes the preparation, and you can proceed to the main work.
- Gently apply dark blue matte shadows to the outer corner of the eye . Then, slightly extend them towards the bridge of the nose, stopping at the level of the beginning of the bend of the eyebrow.
- In the center of the century, use a rich blue shade with sparkles. Mix both colors, and then take the body shadows from the 2nd step and use them to blend the top line of the makeup so that it is not very sharp.
- Lighter blue shades with a greenish tint paint over the inner corner of the eye, and then cover it with very shiny silver shades or pigment.
Fine work
- Saturated colors visually reduce the eye, so to open it, you need to emphasize the area directly under the eyebrow. To do this, use light beige shades, always matte, so as not to overload the makeup.
- Then with a gel eyeliner, outline the upper eyelid, slightly stretching the line to the temples.
- Make-up of the lower eyelash growth line in the same sequence: body shadows, then blue, bright blue, light blue and silver on top of them.
- Draw the “water line” of the lower eyelid with a black pencil.
- Then, on a thin brush with a beveled pile, draw dark, almost black shadows and apply them to the roots of the lower eyelashes. Act carefully so as not to block the blue-blue strip from the bottom, but only visually add color saturation to the lower eyelid.
- Curl eyelashes with special tweezers. Then glue the artificial ones and paint them with mascara.
The rest of the makeup should be neutral, as the main focus is on the eyes.
