Winter makeup can get away with extreme boldness better than any other time of the year. While there are definitely makeup trends that work year-round (think nude lips), there are definitely certain kinds of makeup that only really work with cold weather. And it's this extreme weather that calls for extreme looks—something about the gray and white landscapes of slush and snow makes for a wonderful neutral background on which to really play up our best features. Plus, the loss of sunlight and coinciding loss of our summer glows leaves us with paler complexions that really run the risk of looking ragged so it’s definitely best to think bold. Here are some of our favourite winter makeup looks that we love.

Blush is important for bringing life to the dullness and paleness that is winter skin. And while summertime means pinks, winter basically means everything else. Pink blush in the winter can end up making you look ruddy so swap it out for something a little different: brighten with corals and apricots, add warmth with golds and terracotta reds, shimmer with lilacs and lavenders, or go for the gusto with plums and berries. And if you must do pink, definitely go for a peachy tone. Powders, creams, sticks, and stains will all help colour your world of winter wonderland.
