As winter approaches, update your beauty routine with metallic eyeshadow and cinnamon roll makeup.
Winter is here, and with them comes the perfect excuse to revamp your beauty routine. From metallic eyeshadow to the TikTok-famous cinnamon roll makeup trend, we’ve got expert-backed tips to help you up your winter game.
metallic eyeshadow
While burgundy continues to dominate as the season’s ‘it’ color, metallic eyeshadows are turning heads with their versatile shine. Think icy blue, gleaming silver and earthy bronze – perfect for a glamorous holiday vibe.
Richa Aggarwal, a beauty expert, shares the secret to nailing this trend: “Start by applying a neutral base shade in your crease and add a darker color at the outer corners. “Use your fingers to press the metallic eyeshadow into the middle of your lids for maximum effect,” she suggests. For added sophistication, Agarwal recommends subtle inner-corner highlights with minimal eyeliner and mascara to maintain the focus on the eyes. For those who prefer a bold look, choose highly pigmented liquid or cream shadows. Applying these on your eyelids creates a dramatic effect that is ideal for evening parties. And if you’re feeling adventurous, add a generous sprinkle of glitter to your eyeshadow.
Cinnamon rolls, anyone?
Inspired by the cozy tones of cinnamon, this trend is a celebration of warm, earthy browns that enhance your natural features. Beauty creator Aranakshi Kashyap explains, “Cinnamon roll makeup works because it flatters a wide range of skin tones. “It’s subtle yet impactful.” She says don’t skip cleansing lashes and applying primer for a crease-free, polished finish.
pro tips
Winter makeup isn’t just about colors and textures — it’s also about longevity. Dry air can wreak havoc on your look, so Agarwal recommends using hydrating formulas and finishing your makeup with a serum spray to lock in moisture. And don’t forget, less is more when balancing bold eyes with the rest of your face.
