8 Dreamy Winter Wedding Makeup Looks

From lips that pop to lids that shine, these makeup looks are perfect for any winter wedding

Glossy Lids
A pretty sheen shouldn't be reserved just for lips. When used on lids, a glossy metallic shadow, like Butter London Glazen Eye Gloss in Spark, $24, comes across as dewy and fresh. Use sparingly, and blend with your fingers to sheer out the pigment. A crisp and refined cat-eye contrasts nicely and enhances the glossy finish of your eyes.

The hue normally reserved for warmer weather gives an unexpected pop of color when worn in the winter and adds interest to any minimal makeup look. Opt for a lipstick with a velvet finish, which isn't overly shiny or totally flat. One to try: Flower Beauty Kiss Stick Velvet Lip Color in So Gladiola, $6.98.

Tightlined Eyes
If you don't like the look of noticeable eyeliner, try tightlining: Line the inner waterline on both your top and bottom lids. This technique, a favorite among makeup artists, defines the shape of your eyes ever so subtly and creates the illusion of fuller lashes. A gel formula liner, like Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil, $20, makes this kind of precise application easy.

All-Over Glow
Contouring has a new counterpart: Non-touring, a fresh-faced trend that's perfectly wedding appropriate. Start with a luminizing primer under foundation, then layer a cream highlighter as your final step, focusing on the cheekbones, inner corners of your eyes, and bridge of your nose. Try RMS Beauty Magic Luminizer, $38. It'll make you shine in real life as well as in your photos.

Full Brows
Bold, feathery brows aren't going anywhere -- even for brides -- so resist the urge to go tweezer-happy in the days leading up to your big day. Let your brows grow out to their fullest, then enhance them with a bit of powder and a dab of brow gel to keep hairs in place. Try Zoey Van Jones Tinted Brow Gel, $16.
