Although we've only just seen the first snowfall of the year, I fear I've already got a case of the winter (beauty) blues. I usually upgrade my cold-weather makeup routine with a red lip and berry blush, but that just isn't cutting it this year. So, I called on an expert to pull me out of my funk. Meet Tobi Henney, a globe-trotting celeb makeup artist who's here to share all the beauty inspiration we need for the upcoming season.
I tapped my editor friends—social media editor Emma Hughes and associate fashion editor Kaitlin Clapinski—to model two of the winter makeup looks Henney will be using on her celeb clientele this season. From dazzling icy eyeshadow to toasty bronzed cheeks, these looks are mesmerizing. So, you can imagine my surprise when she revealed that the products she used were from SHEGLAM—and that each cost less than a peppermint mocha latte. "These products are affordable for everyone, but they're also high-quality formulas that compete with their luxury counterparts," Henney says. "I especially love their shimmer and metallic products for the eyes and cheeks, as they add a little fun to every look."
I know you're eager to see the step-by-step for these looks, so keep reading to learn how to recreate them.
Hughes modeled Henney's take on shimmery snowy eyes and glossy pink lips. "The first look was all about the silver frost metallic eye," she explains. "I added the Crystal Jelly Glaze Stick ($8) in Rosy Gem all over the lid before adding liner and mascara to create a pearlescent winter eye, and finished it off with a swipe of the new Glass Lock Air Gloss ($6) in Strawberry Milk." Hughes is a fan of this icy vanilla makeup look—and an even bigger fan of the items used to create it. "SHEGLAM has so many fun products that you can truly create any makeup look on your mood board," she gushes, sharing that the Crystal Jelly Glaze Stick will be a staple in her winter makeup routine.
Toasty makeup has been dominating my feed for months, and I think winter is the perfect time to try out this cozy beauty trend. "The second look was more about using warm tones and upgrading them with a hint of shimmer," Henney explains. "I loved using the Buttery Buff Contour and Bronzing Stick ($7) to warm up the face and create some dimension, then kept the blush high on the cheekbones and added highlighter. Next, I applied the Airglow Eye Tint ($5) in Starry Night, a gorgeous glimmering brown shade, and topped it with a bit of extra highlighter to amp up the shimmer. I finished with the Fall In Line Peel Off Lip Liner Stain ($4) in Pinky Promise for the perfect mauve-nude lip and topped it off with the Glass Lock Air Gloss ($6) in French Toast for a glazed finish." Clapinski was clearly taking notes during this application: "I loved how she topped the already glittery eyeshadow with a touch of highlighter for extra shine," she tells me. "I'm doing this before every holiday party." (Same, definitely writing that one down!) "These are the ultimate low-effort, high-reward beauty products."
