Classic red lips

This trend is timeless and yet totally hot this winter:full red lips. The trend where you can safely vary the shade of red (lighter or darker) is here to stay, so it's a good idea to invest in a few good red lipsticks now. Red lips fit perfectly with a pale shade/white skin and can easily be combined with the other make-up trends winter 2016 2017.

Gothic lips

Not only red lips are doing well this winter, gothic lips (read black lipstick) are also completely trendy. If you prefer a slightly less 'dark' color, simply choose aubergine. Both black and (dark) aubergine are true autumn and winter colors that match perfectly with a natural face.

Pastel or pink lips

Are the aforementioned trends not quite for you? Then try it with pastel colored or pink lip lipstick. Pink stands for innocence and pink lips emphasize your purity as a woman. In addition, pink lips represent youthfulness. Do you want to look absolutely feminine this winter and take a few years off your age? Then try it with pink lips!

Pure natural lips

In some cases it concerns purely natural lips, in other cases a layer of lip gloss is applied. The fact is that natural lips, without lipstick, are also very hot this winter. Sometimes less is more and there is no need to apply lipstick to accentuate your face.

Copper colored eyelids

The color copper has been a big hit on all catwalks and that's not surprising since the color fits perfectly with the cool autumn/winter. The art of applying the copper color is to proceed in such a way that it is visible that you have used make-up, without being overdone. A subtly applied layer on the eyelids is sufficient.

Eyelids in all colors of the rainbow

Do you not like the aforementioned trend of copper eyelids at all or are you looking for an out of the box makeup idea? Then have fun with your eyeshadow and apply it in all colors of the rainbow on your eyelids. The festive make-up is a real boost for your outfit and adds color to the dark winter days. Incidentally, you don't have to feel limited when using the eyeshadow, because you can generously provide your eyes with color, both on and under your eyelids. Separate shapes and multiple colors mixed together are no problem either.

Graphic black eyes

This trend is a must try for all fashionistas with the guts:give your eyes a striking look with the help of black eyeliner, eyeshadow and eye pencil. You can really let yourself go and give your imagination free rein:go for completely black smokey eyes, draw lines that you fill in the corners, accentuate the lines of your eyes... the choice is yours.

Smokey eyes but different

Why go for the standard smokey eyes when you can do it completely differently this winter? The trend that has been around for a while is completely updated this season and provides even more 'smoke' and more smudge under the eyes. By continuing the color under the lower lashes, the eyes are emphasized even more and smokey eyes take on a completely different meaning.

Statement lines

Have fun with your eyeliner this season. Why just draw a thin line under the lower lids when you can make a statement with it too? Draw wide lines around your eyes, draw large 'cat eyes' all around or draw a straight line just below your eyebrows. Ideal for fashionistas who are not afraid to make a fashion statement.

Go for the natural look

Although you wouldn't think so after reading the above trends, the makeup trends winter 2016 2017 are especially notable because of the lack of makeup and a natural look. Thick eyebrows, clean lips without lipstick, natural skin and nothing on the eyelids, the eyelashes and eyebrows just completely yourself. If you think this is just a bit too bare, make a statement out of your lips.

A touch of glitter

If you like a bit of glitter and glamour, this trend will certainly make your heart beat a little faster. Glitter is not only coming back this fashion season in fashion, shoes and hair, it can also be used extensively as make-up. On the lids, as a fine line just below the eyebrows or even just on your eyebrows, with glitter you can really go in all directions this winter, both in your outfit and with your make-up.

A healthy natural look

Autumn and winter are the appropriate seasons to go for a (fake) healthy look. Touch up your skin with highlighters, a little shimmery toners, copper or gold eyeshadows and some blush on your cheeks for a fresh wintery look. Optionally, you can combine this look with the aforementioned gothic lips and wet look hairstyle.

Bleached eyebrows

Strange as it may sound, this season it's all about the eyes to see them completely differently. This also includes the eyebrows that can be bleached this time. By the way, white/bleached eyebrows fit perfectly with a white winter. In order not to let the eyes fall away, it is best to combine this trend with one of the make up trends mentioned above, for example graphic lines in combination with some glitter or make a statement with gothic lipstick.

Natural eyebrows

Does the previously mentioned trend of bleached eyebrows go a little too far for you? Then just go for your natural eyebrows that are completely hot. Of course, this doesn't mean you don't have to take care of your eyebrows:thick, well-groomed eyebrows are the keyword here.

Your eyelashes in the spotlight

Although this fashion season is mainly about underlining the natural look, certain features of your face should be put in the spotlight. In this case, all attention should be paid to your eyelashes. Eyelashes can be perfectly combined with an overall natural look. For example, choose thick (false) eyelashes or add some glitter to your mascara.

Just be yourself

Striking this year is the fact that many designers have chosen to send models to the catwalk, where they could just be themselves. Fat, thin, tall, small models, each with their own taste in makeup and it was all good. Perhaps this is still the best make-up trend winter 2016 2017:whatever you do and use, make sure that it only underlines your own beauty and above all be yourself in everything, because natural beauty:no make up can match that!
