Winter beauty is all about warmth, and we have actually found the ultimate makeup look that will take you through this season. However, before helping you achieve it, let’s establish a few ground rules: a flawless skin always makes for the perfect base and dark lips are very welcomed! Now, let’s take you through this beauty look step by step.

Start off by prepping your skin using your usual skincare routine. Always remember that a well-moisturized complexion is the secret behind a healthy, natural look.

To unify its tone, use a foundation with a light to medium coverage that leaves your skin luminous and flawless. For this step, we absolutely love Armani Beauty’s Luminous Silk foundation for its medium coverage and glowy effect. Concealer is the next step to achieve a perfect base for your makeup and the best way to do so in this case is to pair the foundation with its matching Luminous Silk concealer, which should be applied anywhere you need to hide flaws and around the eyes.

For your brows, you need to keep them natural and Benefit Cosmetics’ Precisely, My Brow pencil remains our all-time favorite thanks to its fine tip that draws hair-like strokes to fill your brows. And if needed, Benefit Cosmetics’ 24-Hour Brow Setter clear brow gel is your way to go.

The eyes should also be kept simple, and we love Dior’s 5 Couleurs Couture Dioriviera limited-edition eyeshadow palette in 779 Riviera for the neutral hues it features to fit every skin tone. Apply the one that goes with your skin tone in the best natural way while adding a light shimmery luminosity to your look. Next up is mascara, so apply a few coats to define your lashes using your favorite – we personally love YSL Beauty’s The Curler mascara for this look!

For the cheeks, you need a bit of color to achieve the healthy skin look you’re looking for and to do so, you need to keep it simple with a product like Gucci Beauty’s Gucci Blush de Beauté in 05 Rosy Beige. Just a tad, don’t exaggerate!

Finally, the lips – which are the highlight of this look! Take a pick between a bold color like CHANEL’s Rouge Coco Hydrating Lip Colour in 446 Etienne or 438 Suzanne. And for even more defined lips, pair these lipsticks with their matching lip liners and apply them using a lip brush.
