Vintage vamp

As the days grow shorter and the temperature drops, we bid farewell to beautiful warm weather and say hello to Amazing Fashion & Bold enchanting make up looks.

Winter has well and truly arrived. As the weather gets colder, our clothing and make up options become endless. Beautiful winter colours start to appear in wardrobes across the country. This calls for an accompanying make up look that will compliment that amazing winter style.

The Skin

As the heat of summer becomes a distant memory, so does our beautiful sun kissed skin! But fear not as there is nothing more beautiful than that china doll like complexion. So embrace the paste this winter. Just think of all the beautiful pale celebs like – Blake Lively, Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johansson & Jennifer Lawrence to name a few. Finish off your beautiful base with a soft Peach on your cheeks. A luminous highlighter is always a great option as well.

*Pro Tip

Winter weather can make our skin very dry & make up does not like dry skin one bit!

I like to combat this by using freezeframe WRINKLE FILLER as my primer. This formula was created as an anti aging product which it does a fabulous job of, but I recently discovered it doubles as an incredible primer/base for makeup application. Not only does it smooth the skin making you look younger instantly but it helps your make up sit perfectly on your skin.

The Lips

The star of the winter make up look is definitely the lips, the use of bold, rich colours such a wine or deep purple make for a striking look that will make anyone look fierce.

The Eyes

A good make up look is a balancing act. When a bold lip is applied the eyes should be subtle. You don’t want to overdo it. I really like an ice gold shadow or a creamy white. I sometimes like to add fine winged eyeliner as this adds a touch of glamour. Less in this case is definitely more.
