Today is another coordinated Blogmas post where we’re pulling items from our makeup collections to create a snowy makeup look.

To me, a snow themed makeup indicates 2 things: white and sparkly!

I rarely wear white eye shadows but I love how it looks on other people, when coupled with a thicker black liquid liner and a bit of shading in the crease.

• Sephora Jumbo liner 12HR wear White glitter 32
• Cargo button eye shadow 1 from catwalk palette
• Annabelle Mineral Pigment dust in Prism (a stunning duochrome with a pink to blue sheen – looks stunning over black too)
• MAC eye shadow in Copperplate (matte taupey grey to contour)
• Kiss Me Heroine Make Smooth liquid eyeliner in Black

To achieve a glowy complexion, mix a touch of liquid highlight (MAC Strobe cream is a good option) with your foundation.  Or, if you’re like me and don’t have any liquid highlighter, use a cream highlight like Benefit’s Watts Up dotted around the face and blend your foundation with it.  Finish off the face with a dusting of Guerlain Meteorites.

• Lise Watier HydraSmart 3D Hydration tinted Veil in Teint Claire (this normally blends into my skin so I applied 3 layers here to show it)
• benefit Watt’s Up! Cream-to-Powder Highlighter (gwp size)
• Guerlain Perles D’Azur Meteorites by Emilio Pucci (this is the most sparkly of the ones I own.. just humour me and pretend that you see the swatch ok?)

Since the eyes are quite light and simple, it’s a good opportunity to add a pop of colour to the cheeks and lips.  Add a pink flush to the cheeks and then highlight with a blue toned sheen. The lips are easy with bright tinted lip balm with a blue sheen as well.

(oops, as pointed out by Ingrid, I mislabeled my photo!  The one on the left is Anna Sui and the middle one is the MAC. :P)
• Anna Sui rose Cheek color N in 100 Mystic rose (blue highlighter!)
• MAC Mineralize blush in Supernova from Heavenly creature collection
• Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter in Lollipop (this is a stunning fuchsia with a blue shimmer)

To complete the snowy look, use Illamasqua Blizzard or Essie height of chic on the nails:

Voila, you’re a snow angel!

How would you create a snowy makeup look?
