Lapse edition of this icy look ⛄️

Hey everyone! I'm so excited to dive deeper into this super cool 'icy makeup look' that I've been absolutely loving lately. You know that vibe – frosty, ethereal, and a little bit edgy? That’s exactly what we’re going for. I've had so many questions about how I put mine together, especially after my last post featuring that striking bright blue eyeshadow and bold dark lipstick, so I wanted to share all my secrets to achieving this winter wonderland aesthetic. First things first: the eyes! The star of my icy look is definitely the bright blue eyeshadow. Don't be shy with it! I usually start with a lighter, shimmery blue on the inner corner and blend a deeper, more vibrant blue across my lid, extending it slightly into a soft wing. To really make it pop and get that frosty feel, I love tapping a touch of silver glitter or a metallic blue pigment right in the center of my eyelid. It instantly elevates the whole look and catches the light beautifully, giving me that true 'icy' sparkle. For those with different eye colors, don't be afraid to experiment! Blue can really make brown eyes pop, while a lighter blue can enhance blue eyes even more. Next up, let's talk cheeks. To complement the cool tones of the eyes and lips, I opt for a subtle yet effective rosy blush. The key here is not to go too warm or orange. A cool-toned pink or a dusty rose applied lightly on the apples of my cheeks gives that natural, wind-kissed flush – like you've just stepped in from the snow! It adds a touch of freshness without overpowering the dramatic eyes and lips. I find cream blushes work wonderfully for a seamless, natural finish that blends beautifully into the skin. And for the lips? It has to be a dark lipstick to complete this dramatic yet sophisticated look. I usually reach for a deep berry, a rich plum, or even a deep wine red. The contrast with the bright eyes is just stunning! For application, I always line my lips first to prevent feathering and ensure a crisp edge. Then, I fill them in, sometimes blotting for a stain effect or going full-on opaque for maximum impact. If you're feeling extra bold, a touch of clear gloss in the center can add a lovely dimension to your pout, making it look even more luscious. To truly embody the 'icy' aesthetic, it’s not just about the makeup. Think about your accessories! I find that a chunky silver chain necklace or delicate silver earrings really ties the whole look together. Silver tones naturally complement the cool blues and dark lips, enhancing that frosty, glamorous vibe. You could also consider incorporating some subtle shimmer in your highlighter, perhaps with cool undertones, to reflect the light and give you that extra glow. Even your outfit choice can contribute – think cool-toned fabrics or textures like velvet or satin. A few extra tips from my experience: For longevity, always prime your eyelids! Blue eyeshadow can sometimes crease, so a good primer is your best friend. Also, don't forget to define your brows, but keep them looking natural – a soft fill can frame the eyes without competing with the bold colors. This look is perfect for a night out, a special event, or whenever you want to feel a little bit mysterious and powerful. Give it a try, and let me know how you make your icy look uniquely yours!
