Give in to The Beautiful Winter Look

Winter can be an odd time of the year.  We’re all bundled up trying to keep our little bodies warm, our skin feels colorless against the bright snow, and our hair seems to rebel against any kind of control. But instead of giving in to the winter blues, it’s important to know how to rock a pair of lashes and a little bit of color.  You’d be surprised at how far a sassy coat of lipstick and a little bit of rouge can do for the spirit.

First thing’s first – DO NOT try and replicate that summer tan you got after Spring break in Cabo.  If you’re not exposed to outdoor rays for a little color, rather than trying to artificially create the sun-kissed look, work with your palate in order to find the right the look.  For example, bring out your eyes by choosing deep earthy colors – a chocolate brown eyeliner or a deep-blue eye-shadow with extra-long lashes will make your eyes pop in the winter air.

For a night out, you can make a bold statement with a vibrant dark red lipstick like Kristen Bell.  Winter clothing tends to be muted and simple, so lipstick is a perfect outlet for color and expression.  If red’s not your thing, you can also opt for a girly pink or even a sparkly nude gloss.

Finally, I like to complete my winter look with a slicked back bun in my hair.  While long tresses can be sultry and sexy, the winter weather can sometimes wreak havoc on what took you hours to style.  Rather than brave through the rain and snow with your fingers crossed, why not do the sleek pull back.  You can even accessorize your look with a classic ribbon, a trendy headband, or a vintage feather-clip.
