Winter Makeup Trends for 2024
As the temperature drops and sweater weather is in full swing, it’s time to transition your makeup routine to match the season’s vibe. Winter 2024 is bringing some seriously stunning trends that are perfect for cosy nights, holiday parties, and everything in between.
Let’s dive into this year’s must-try winter makeup trends—spoiler alert: they’re equal parts fun and fabulous!
Jewel-toned drama: Deep, rich jewel tones are the MVPs of winter eye makeup. Emerald greens, sapphire blues, and amethyst purples are perfect for when you want to add a little drama (the good kind). Smudge one on your lower lash line for a subtle pop or go all-in with a smoky jewel-toned eye. Try the ARTDECO High Performance Eyeshadow Stylo in Frozen Rose or South Bay to get the look.
Frosted eyes for snow queen vibes: Who doesn’t love a little sparkle in the winter? Frosty metallic eyeshadows in silver, icy blue, and pearly white are making a major comeback. Think of them as a grown-up version of your childhood glitter obsession—but way more chic. Add a swipe of glitter eyeshadow on top or line your lower lashes for an extra frosty touch.
Matt velvet lips: Matte lips are having their big moment again, and honestly, we’re here for it. This season, it’s all about rich, velvety shades like deep reds, warm plums, and decadent chocolates. These colours feel so luxe and look stunning paired with winter outfits. The ARTDECO Lip Rouge Stylo is a velvety matte texture that provides full coverage with just one application and feels weightless and silky on the lips.
The ‘cold’ look with rosy, flushed cheeks: Winter blush is all about that natural, rosy glow. Blush draping is back (if you’re new here, that’s when blush is swept from your cheeks to your temples), and it’s giving a soft, romantic vibe. Think rosy pinks and peaches that make you look like you’ve been out playing in the snow—even if you’ve been binge-watching Netflix under a blanket. The ARTDECO Illusion Palette for Cheeks and Eyes has everything you need!
Skin that glows: Even in winter, glowing skin is a must. The trick is to go for hydration first, then layer on a soft, luminous highlighter for that “lit-from-within” vibe. Swap out heavier foundations for hydrating formulas or tinted moisturisers that give your skin some breathing room. The NOTE BB Cream works great for this.
Bold eyeliner that makes your eyes pop: If you love to play with eyeliner, winter is your time to shine—literally. Metallic liners in gold, silver, and bronze are everywhere this season. Try a sleek double-winged liner or get creative with a floating crease design. It’s playful, festive, and perfect for a night out. Browse our range of eyeliners here.
The best part about winter makeup? It’s all about layering—just like your wardrobe! Hydrate, glow, and don’t be afraid to experiment with bold colours and textures. Whether you’re into frosted eyes, berry lips, or glowing skin, there’s a trend this season that’s perfect for you.
