3 *Cool* Beauty Trends To Try This Winter

Hello, winter! Does the darkest season of the year have you down? There’s no better way to brighten your mood (and your complexion) than by trying out a new beauty trend—even if you’re not planning to leave the house. An added bonus: You don’t have to worry about the heat melting away your makeup, and you’re freer to experiment with intense colors and textures.

Scroll down to check out three trends you need to wear before the season ends.

Bold Plum Pout

If you’re looking for a fresh take on a rich winter lip, purple is it. The unexpected yet undoubtedly seasonal shade will give a punch to any look—feel free to apply coordinating eye makeup for a rich monochrome vibe.

Try it: Lipstick in Velour, Lip Color in Ultra Violet or Sheer Gloss in Mania

Grunge Eyes

Did someone say multiple rings of eyeliner and thickly coated lashes? Trace a wide dark brown or gray around your eyes and feel free to slightly smudge it in the process, then swipe on several coats of black mascara for added impact.

Try it: Classic Eyeliner in Chocolate Brown, Classic Eyeliner in Charcoal or Eye Defining Pencil in Tobacco + Mascara in Black

Fresh Pastels

Soft colors are always in for winter, but this season they’re more intense and sparklier than ever. Think outside the box and brush a mint green, lavender or baby blue shadow on your eyes and pair it with a baby pink lip color.

Try it: Mineral Eyeshadow in Skylar, Mineral Eyeshadow in Mint or Mineral Eyeshadow in Euphoria + Sheer Gloss in Divinity or Lip Color in Truth or Dare
