As the temperature gets cooler, so should your makeup - we mean that literally! If you’ve been seeing some cute cool toned looks all over Instagram, you’ve probably been seeing the cold girl makeup look. If you’re still confused as to what that is, we’re here to help.
What is the Cold Girl makeup look?
Created by Zoe Kim Kenealy on Tik Tok, the cold girl makeup look has been adopted by major celebs like Hailey Bieber, Emily Ratajkowski and Kylie Jenner. This look takes the pleasant aspects of windchill and the elements of winter with a blush pulled all across your cheeks and nose, a touch of shimmer in the inner corners of your eyes, and a glossy shimmery lip.
How To Get The Perfect Cold Girl Makeup Look?
This is such a simple look to create, you might have even created the look by mistake on occasion! Which also means the makeup you need to create this look is probably already in your makeup drawer. So let’s go!
Step 1: Start with a smooth and dewy base! Use a dewy moisturizer or primer to make sure you have the perfect canvas to work with.

Step 5: For the lips, it’s best to go for a bitten look. Use a lip stain that’s cool toned or berry toned and apply it to the center of your lips and smudge it outwards. PAir this with a shimmery gloss that’s transparent and you’re all set!
