Rich deep brown smokey eyes are another way to add intensity to the eyes and glamor to your look, away from the usual grays and blacks.

A favorite for winter and a fantastic reminder of the holiday décor. Wear it two-toned or give a metallic twist to spice things up.

Blue adds a little excitement to the glitter trend away from the usual white and gold shimmers. For this makeup look, use a lighter shade in the inner corners and a darker one on the outer.

16. Embellished eyes

Crystals and pearls are a dramatic way to accent your eyes. Choose a glitter eyeliner or shadow for the winter look. Add this to your creative Christmas makeup collection for modern women.

17. Metallic eyes

If glistening lips are what you are looking for, metallic colors are perfect to give you that shimmer. Opt for a silver wash for that subtle shimmer and a cool icy feel.

18. Statement blush

Make a statement with a rather visible blush this year. If you want to tone it down, choose a blush powder that blends in well with your skin.

22. Kitten eyeliner winter makeup ideas

Cat-eye is a go-to look for winter. But, if you are after a subtler version, the kitten eye is the way to go.

Matte lipstick, shadow, and blush spell the 90s. Add in brushed-up brows, shimmery eyes, and diffused wings to give it a modern feel.

Glossy lips never go out of fashion regardless of the season. Follow this trend with ultra-glossy lips that are likely to feature this winter.

35. Voluminous eyelashes

Dramatic and bold eyelashes are a good old-school look that never gets old. Combine that with a red lip for a splash of color on the makeup look.
