A Full Face Of Cherry-Red Makeup Is The Ultimate Look For The Winter

Winter is just around the corner, and we're getting ready to stock our closets with the best stylish pieces and vanities full of new makeup. As you may know, red has been the "it" color of fashion this fall, and it's definitely making its way into winter in the form of the delicious cherry-red shade. Last year, TikTok girlies raved about the cold makeup look, where you use lots of blush and shimmer to make you look like you're flushed from the icy weather at all times. Now, we're bringing back some color to our skin with cherry-red accents. From eyeshadow to lipstick and blush, your options to give your look a red glow are endless.

Perhaps the most fun part of this trend is using bright red tones, such as poppy, crimson, and rose, which all evoke juicy cherries. You can mix and match shades throughout your makeup to create your own exciting look, which means you don't have to incorporate red into every aspect of your makeup. If you want to try out a bold red lip or eyeshadow, you can do one or the other, especially for a casual look. Then, you can opt for full-face glam for special events. After all, winter is all about get-togethers and holiday parties, so check out our favorite ways to rock the cherry-red makeup look all season long.

Red eyeshadow gives you a bold, fierce look and is the perfect start for your cherry-red makeup look. Try smokey eyeshadow for date nights or holiday parties, and mix red with black and gold shimmer for a glimmering finish. On the other hand, blend red with neutral tones or create a cut crease for a chic, softer look. You don't have to be a master makeup artist to do this or trifle with messy powder shadows, either. Shadow sticks and crème eyeshadows work perfectly for beginners — as long as they're cherry-red shades, of course.

Pair your eyeshadow with cherry-red blush, or wear it alone. Rosy cheeks are the epitome of the cherry-red makeup look, though, so we bet you'll want to get in on it. Both powder and liquid blushes work here, giving an excellent sun-kissed look in the winter, which is needed when we lose our tan. Place your blush on the highest points of your cheekbones and fluff it out with a brush, dragging it higher and closer to your hairline for a snatched look. Swipe the excess on the bridge of your nose for a delightfully cold look.

A red lip can elevate any makeup look, whether it's a soft or full-face look. Here, tailor the boldness of your lip color to the rest of your red accents. For instance, if you do a red smokey eye, add a light red lip color, such as lip oil or a lip tint for a touch of color. It'll bring more attention to your eyes than the rest of your face. On the other hand, if you're only adding blush, add a deep red lipstick for more color.

For those who enjoy eyeliner with or without eyeshadow, skip the black eyeliner and reach for a red shade. Apply the red eyeliner to your waterline and create a fun wing to make your eyes pop. Wear the eyeliner on its own, or add it to your smokey eye for an intense look. If you use darker tones for your eyeshadow, cherry red will add contrast to the look, whereas a deep red shade will create balance and blend seamlessly with the rest of the smokey eye.

There has been a lot of hype with brown mascara lately, but for a cherry-red makeup look, incorporate red mascara into your makeup routine to go above and beyond. You can wear it in various combinations: red mascara with a red lip gloss and blush, red mascara with a red wing and red lipstick, or go full cherry mode with red eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, blush, and lipstick. Ultimately, we recommend embracing the cherry-red shade before it gets replaced with a new trendy option.
