5 Ways to warm up your winter makeup

It's well known that the lack of sun during the cold, winter months makes our complexions a little paler. If, like me, you're already paler than snow no matter the time of year, it can be beneficial to use products to warm up your skintone. 

Use a good bronzer. Bronzer doesn't just have to be for those summer months, I use bronzer all year round to add a bit of colour to my skin. I love the The Body Shop Honey Bronzer and the Benefit Hoola Bronzer to add a warmer tone to my cheeks and temple, they are also great for a light contour. 

Crack out the berry red blushers. I don't have that many, but the ones I do have tend to get a hammering during the winter. I always use them sparingly so that I don't look like I just ran a 3 minute mile, but they are great for adding a winter flush. 

Plumb lips. I like to stick to fairly neutral colours the majority of the time, but these past few months I've been really loving muted plumb shades. I find that the warmness of the plumb tone adds a bit more of a natural colour to the lips without being too overpowering. 

Warm toned eyeshadows. Of course cold and warm tones look good depending on your skin tone, but I can assure you there will be warm tones out there to suit everyone. My personal favourites are rich browns and golds, as I find no matter what my hair colour (it changes fairly often) they always make my eyes pop. 

Push aside the black and grab the brown mascara and eyeliner. Changing from the usual black mascara and eyeliner can help to not only soften your look, but also add a little more warmth to the eyes.
