Frost-Bitten Beauty

Thursday, November 29th, 2007 | Beauty Tips

Create a soft, ‘just frost bitten’ look by giving a wash of pink/berry color to the cheeks and lips. This is perfect for embracing pale, wintery skin, but darker skin tones will look stunning all the same (I love wearing this look).

This snow bunny look is best achieved using a matte foundation (such as your powder compact) and applying concealer generously around the eyes to mask shadows and dark circles.

The key is to choose a perfect pink or berry to your liking for the cheeks and lips. The shades should match; the best way to achieve this is to choose a multifunctional product that can be used on both the cheeks and lips. This also saves time and money.

Color

Apply color to the apples of cheeks. Start with a little and blend. Apply a little more, blend more. Your cheeks should look pleasantly flushed, as if you were just out skiing. Apply color to the center of your lips and press them together to distribute the color.

Finishing Touches

You can use white eyeliner (for less than $1, it’s a drugstore staple) to line your bottom lashline/water line to make your eyes really pop. Apply generous coats of mascara (brown or brown-black for fair to medium skin and black for dark skin) as well as pencil eyeliner in the same color. Smudge your liner for a more natural look.

I have a pale skin tone, but when I use berry color on my lips, I look HORRIBLE! lol. I wish I didn’t because I really like the color.

This color doesn’t look good on me either. Just like Britney said. I have pale skin too. Meh.
