Immogen’s Winter Makeup Tips
As winter sets in, our skin craves extra hydration - and so does our makeup routine. Makeup artist Immogen shares her go-to winter beauty products and techniques for achieving that sought-after dewy glow. She spotlights Eye of Horus’ best-selling cream-based formulas, from skin-loving serums to multi-use lipsticks and lash-nourishing mascaras. Whether you're prepping for a cozy day out or a glam winter date night, her tips are all about glowing through winter—without sacrificing skin comfort or care.
Why Hydration-Focused Makeup in Winter?
Cream textures not only blend seamlessly into the skin, but they also deliver hydration where your skin needs it most. Immogen recommends using our Second Skin Foundation nourishing base—it’s infused with seven sacred oils to soothe and protect. Mix Second Skin with the Skin Tint for a more hydrating, dewy finish using the Vegan Buffing Brush for flawless application (Warm Beige Second Skin + Dark in the Skin Tint).
Use the Concealer Brush with the Triple C Concealer as a spot corrector in the shade ‘Dark Ochre,’ and to brighten under the eyes and highlight, use ‘Medium Sand’ + ‘Dark Ochre.’ Then use ‘Tan Dune’ to contour and bronze the skin, sculpting with the Vegan Buffing Brush.
Cream-Based Blush
For a natural winter flush, Immogen reaches for our refillable Lipsticks, dabbing them onto the cheeks as a creamy blush alternative. The result? Radiant, buildable colour that melts into the skin. Try the Matte Lipstick in ‘Bloom’ as a cream blush.
Optional step for ultimate glow: Use the Powder Blush in ‘Sienna’ for added shine, glow, and colour with the Contour Brush.
Optional step to enhance natural beauty: Use the Liquid Liner in Brown to highlight beauty spots.
Smokey Liner
Balance your glow with a touch of definition. Immogen opts for our Brow Define Pencil in ‘light’ to shape the brows, followed by the Liquid Define eyeliner for softly sculpted eyes. On the lids, she uses Stella Eyeshadow as a base, applied with the Blending Brush. For the smokey effect, she reaches for the Charcoal Goddess Eye Pencil, smudging it out with the Angled Eyeshadow Brush. To finish, use the Lash Curler to lift lashes and add volume with the nourishing, wax-based Goddess Mascara.
Defining the Perfect Pout
Satin lipsticks are a winter essential thanks to their hydrating finish. Start with the Deep Nude Liner for definition and to help your lipstick stay in place all day. For a soft nude look, reach for the Nude Satin Lipstick.
Want a touch of pink? Opt for the Pink Satin Lipstick - or mix both shades for a custom colour boost that brightens any winter look.
