Roundup: Coolest Winter Makeup Trends of 2021

Ready to strut into 2022? Not before we recap all the winter makeup trends that took over our vanities this year. As we move closer to gathering together for an NYE bash full of fun and frolic, we cannot forget about the glitz and glam. And what better way to jump on all the fabulous winter makeup trends than to pair it up with your winter OOTD or your NYE party fit.

This year we saw a significant chunk of beauty looks inspired from the runways to the red carpets and social media, of course. So, let's hit that rewind button to take a look at all the 2021 winter makeup trends and remind ourselves that 2021 wasn't so bad after all.

Graphic Eyeliners

This trend took us by storm when it made an appearance on the runways and was donned by celebrities. Used as an alternative to the classic cat-eyeliner in the form of graphic lines with a simple white or a poppy colour over eyelids was seen all over.

If you haven't already, recreate this look with: 

Purplle Eyeliner Pen, Wind Beneath My Wings- White

NY Bae Ellis Eyeland | Liquid Eyeliner- Blue Lagoon
 

Dewy Luminous Skin

Healthy looking skin with a great deal of glow had everyone obsessed. Glowing skin was propelled by viral makeup artist Nam Vo and was seen at the Iris van Harpen's show. This no-makeup look is all about a soft base of either applying a tinted moisturizer or a moisturizing oil to hydrate and nourish the skin and finish with a touch of highlighter on the cheekbones and eyelids for a radiant, dewy look.

Give your skin a glow-up with:

Bioayurveda Complexion Care Tinted Moisturizer Face Creme

Lakme Absolute Perfect Radiance Skin Brightening Day Creme

Good Vibes Argan With 24k Gold Facial Oil

Wet n Wild Megaglo Highlighting Powder- Blossom Glow

Swiss Beauty Fusion Highlighter

Sugar Plum Lips

Different shades of satiny deep plum lips and subtle eye makeup were seen on many celebs for the cold, gloomy days. Bold dark lips are literally key to rocking the perfect winter look. 

If you are a fan of bold lips, get this look with:

Faces Canada Weightless Matte Lipstick 

Smudge Me Not Liquid Lipstick- 04 Plum Yum

The Gloss Effect

This super quick and easy look was used to elevate the entire model's look and was a hit on the runway and off the runway. This look simply comes together with a sheer gloss or a liquid eyeshadow with a hint of shimmer or a tint of highlighter for the eyelid and a lovely sweep of mascara and eyeliner to create balance.

Recreate this look with:

Swiss Beauty Metallic Liquid Eyeshadow- Multi-02

Purplle Dual Highlighter, Too Much- Tempting Much 3

Colourful Winter Smokey Eyes

Another trend that went viral all over social media was used by tons of makeup artists and celebrities catching up on it. This trend is a remix for the OG smokey eye, giving you the best of both worlds- a little grunge and a tad bit of glam with a pop of colour. All you need is a shimmery shade of eyeshadow, a black pencil liner, and a smudge brush.

Get this look with:

Makeup Revolution Forever Flawless Allure

Swiss Beauty Loose Pigment Eyeshadow

Me-On Born To Glow Pro Makeup Glitter Eyeshadow Palette Shade #1

Swiss Beauty Ultimate Eyeshadow Palette Kit 7

Voluminous Eyelashes

A classic that'll never go out of style. Dramatic lashes went big on the run for Marc Jacobs, which was recreated everywhere. This look was created with intense layers of volume building mascara used on the top and bottom lashes. 

Pump up the volume on your lashes with:

Purplle Through Thick and Thin Volumizing Mascara

 
Faces Canada Magnet Eyes Dramatic  Volumizing Mascara

Inglot Volume & Waterproof Mascara

And..that’s a wrap!

There is really no better time to pull out all the shimmery, dramatic and colourful makeup and put together some killer winter looks because you deserve to have all the fun.
