Cold Girl Makeup's Moment: Nailing The Look On Indian Skin

Cold Girl Makeup's Moment: Nailing The Look On Indian Skin
Cold Girl Makeup Is Having A Moment: Here's How To Get The Look Right On Indian Skin Tones · news18.com

This article is about a makeup style called 'cold girl makeup' that makes you look like you just came inside from playing in the snow.

It means rosy cheeks, a little color on your nose, sparkly icy eyes, and shiny lips.

The style is popular again now that summer's golden sun-kissed look is going away.

The article explains how people with Indian skin tones can do this look.

First, you use a light foundation and powder just on the parts of your face that get shiny.

The most important part is blush, which should look like the natural red you get in cold weather.

People with darker Indian skin can use berry, plum, wine, or deep rose blush instead of pale pink.

On eyes, silvery or icy pink shadows are typical, but champagne and pale gold look softer on Indian skin.

Lips should be soft and juicy with a rosy or berry tint and lots of gloss.

The article ends by saying you shouldn't copy the pale pink versions on social media - pick shades that work for your own skin.
