Celebs love this icy winter make-up look—and here’s how you can recreate it

The festive cheer of December and the icy blues of January are behind us as we approach the month of love and the final days of winter. This icy make-up look is a must-try. One of the best make-up trends for the season, it blends frosty winter tones with a dewy base. Think Sabrina Carpenter at the Grammy Awards (and many of her other iconic looks).

Celebrities such as Hailey Bieber, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Gigi Hadid have been experimenting with their own versions of this flawless winter aesthetic. Inspired by the ‘I’m cold’ make-up trend of 2023, this iteration features a more dewy finish with glowing skin, shimmering eyes, and glossy lips. It’s a versatile look that can be adapted to suit any level of glam—perfect for a workday or a casual Valentine’s Day outing.

How to get the look? 

This make-up look is all about the eyes—they make or break it. To start, apply a glossy primer for a dewy base. Opt for a skin tint or a light-coverage foundation to enhance your natural glow.

Choose your colour palette, starting with your eyes. Keep your eyeshadow light and blendable to add a hint of seasonal frost. For a snowy effect, go for shimmery or frosted textures in ice blue or soft pink. Instead of applying the icy shade all over your lids, focus on the inner corners and blend it out for a subtle pop of shimmer. Pair this with mascara and black eyeliner for a smoky effect, or use brown or peach-toned eyeshadow on the outer edges for a softer, diffused finish.

For the skin, choose a warm pink blush to create a healthy, flushed look. Add a touch of highlighter along the tops of your cheekbones for a radiant, frosted effect.

Since the eyes are the focal point, keep the lips minimal. Choose a shade that complements your eyeshadow and finish with a generous layer of lip gloss for a balanced, polished look.
