Winter Revamp
Gorgeous looks that will get you by in this cold season.

First Look: Subtle yet natural look
This look is perfect for the daytime or the night of you want to look not over the top but still have a natural winter glow.

1) Firstly start with a clean face. Apply concealer to dark areas under the eye and also to any other red blotchy areas of the face.
2) Lightly line the eye with a brown eye pencil and gradually build up a layer on both the top eyelid and a small layer under the bottom lid until you’ve reached a desired look. But remember to keep it light. And now apply some mascara.
3) Apply a light shade of blush to highlight your cheekbones and then apply a bronzer or blush under the cheekbone to give you a soft glow.
4) And for the final touch, line your lips with a lip pencil the same color as your lips and then apply a lipstick/gloss in a similar shade.

2) Now apply a dark eye shadow to the top lid using a eye brush and blend in well until you reach your desired look.
3) Apply the eye pencil now to the rim on your lower eye and then using a cotton bud or thin brush apply some more dark eye shadow staying as close to the bottom lashes as possible to avoid panda eyes.
