Cold Girl Makeup Looks for Winter with Corpse Bride X SHEGLAM
We are no strangers to seasonal makeup trends, and by and large, one of our favorites has to be cold girl makeup. This simple yet iconic makeup look is not only stunning in selfies, but easy to replicate when you have the right tools. You may remember our hauntingly beautiful Corpse Bride X SHEGLAM Collection Set as a blast from the (fairly recent) glam past, but this kit has so much more life left in it beyond just Halloween makeup looks. The icy colors in our Corpse Bride makeup set are truly ideal when it comes to creating looks with the perfect balance of ice princess and ethereal beauty. Before we dive into the winter looks you can create with this makeup collection, let’s go over the glam goodies inside together.
Icy Glam from Beyond the Grave
Our Corpse Bride makeup collection collab is inspired by Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride and the eerie yet enchanting looks of forlorn love from beyond the grave. Inside this makeup kit, you’ll find a twelve pan eyeshadow palette filled with cool-toned mattes and icy shimmers, an iridescent highlighter with a mysterious blue shift, a translucent blue lip balm, three highly pigmented matte liquid lipsticks, three glimmering glitter gels, and a set of lashes that help mimic Emily’s characteristic doll-like eyes. The tones throughout this entire collection lean very cool and are great for everything from everyday frosty glam to elevated glam holiday looks. With our icy makeup treats in tow and one foot in the hereafter, it’s time to carve out bone-chilling cold girl looks that will last you well into winter.
Frostbitten Lip Look
For a cold girl lip look, the goal is to make your lips look like they’ve been out in the chilly winter wind, while still keeping them soft and kissable. It helps to choose a shade that’s going to be similar to your blush to help further give the impression that this is your skin’s effortlessly beautiful reaction to the cold. Common colors for achieving this look include mauve, pink, or berry shades, and thankfully our Everlasting Love Liquid Lipstick from our Corpse Bride makeup set has all three! This long-lasting lippie is inspired by Emily’s own pout, is specifically formulated for comfy wear, and dries down for a matte finish.Try tapping this lipstick into the center of your lips and blending out for a flush of color that gives off that ready to snuggle up by the fireplace vibe. If you like your lip combos on the glossier side, try topping with your favorite clear gloss to preserve your cold girl pop of color.
Ice Queen Eyes
No cold girl look or Corpse Bride makeup tutorial is complete without an ethereal, icy eye look. If you prefer a simple one-and-done eyeshadow look, try using our Ghostly Glitter Gel in shade Tears to Shed around your inner corners for an instantly frosty glam effect. However, if you’re looking for something a little spicier, might we suggest dipping into our Moonlight Eyeshadow Palette in deep black shade Land of the Dead around the outer edges of your eyes for a very subtle smokey eye effect? You can then use a mix of shimmery shades Nouveau Riche, Butterflies, and Wedding Day around your inner corners, dragging up to the middle of your lids to create a layered, frosted look with a little extra intensity. To draw extra attention to your eye look, try out the included lashes for a hint of Emily’s intense glare.
Winter Wind Blush
Two of the most important things when it comes to creating your best cold girl blush looks are color choice and blush placement. We want to choose a color that’s in the same family as your lip color from before and our viral Color Bloom Liquid Blush in Rose Ritual provides a neutral-toned pink flush that works with many if not all cold girl makeup looks. The matte finish of this blush helps add a subtle pop of color to your glam that looks like true inner warmth and won’t clash with your powder highlighter later on. As for placement, we want to try focusing the color almost in a band across cheeks and nose. Place your dots and build up your blush to your desired intensity to make everyone think you’ve just stepped inside from your snowboarding lesson.
Frosted Glow
If there is one thing Corpse Bride makeup and cold girl makeup looks have in common, it’s the glow. For a frosty glow with a subtle duo chrome shift, tap into our Beaming Butterfly Highlighter. This shimmering powder will help hammer home the cold, cool-toned vibe of your overall makeup look with its captivating light blue shift. For an all over glow, we recommend applying this highlighter to the high points of cheeks, brow bones, cupid’s bow, and tip of the nose. However, if you’re looking for just a hint of duo chrome glow, try concentrating this highlighter on your cheeks and adding a bit of it to the inner corners of your eyes to help bring the focus back to the center of your face. With a highlight this good, you’ll be winter wonderland ready in just a few swipes.
