If the vanilla girl aesthetic or the ‘cold girl makeup’ resonates with your style, you are sure to adore the enchanting snow angel eyeshadow trend. The signature look has the overall aesthetic of just finishing a ski run as a frost has formed, and you have an oh-so-cute sunburn or windburn. This white and silver ethereal eyeshadow look also takes its inspiration from some of the eyeshadow looks from the 1960s with bold opaque shadows and full lashes, as well as the early 2000s. Taking inspiration from winter’s first snowfall, this ethereal look incorporates glittery white makeup to create a mesmerizing effect.
While dark smokey eyes will never go out of style, the snow angel eyeshadow provides a delightful and contemporary alternative for those seeking seasonal change. If this look is calling your name, we’ve outlined all the steps so you can easily replicate the coveted snow angel makeup.
This makeup look boasts an intense eyeshadow application that extends below the lash line, making it essential to begin with your base makeup. Depending on your preferred coverage, use your regular foundation, concealer, bronzer, and blush to sculpt the face. Before delving into the eye makeup, ensure your brows are groomed and filled in as needed.
White eyeshadow is infamous for being difficult to work with, but with the right steps and products, achieving this look can be seamless. Start with a high-quality cream base, such as Danessa Myricks Colorfix in Lift, for a smooth and pigmented result. We recommend applying a “lentil-sized” amount of product to the back of your hand or a palette, picking up color with a flat eyeshadow brush, applying color to the lid, and buffing it out with a fluffy brush for a diffused look. Once the base color is set, enhance it with a shimmery white eyeshadow, like Makeup by Mario’s Master Crystal, known for its high color payoff and silky formulation. Set this shade in the inner and outer corners to make the eyes pop. Create contrast using kohl eyeliner to create a mini wing and finish with a few coats of mascara.
For a softer interpretation of the snow angel eyeshadow look, complete your makeup with soft, matte pink lipstick. Alternatively, for a bolder approach, opt for a dark lip liner paired with a warm cocoa lip gloss.
The beauty of the snow angel makeup look is that you can go fully matte or experiment with texture, and the result will be as gorgeous as the sun sparkling on a snowdrift; after all, no two snowflakes are the same. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different textures and styles. For a more subtle vibe, you can always go in with just a white shimmer. You can even use white eyeliner to create a fun white cateye. There are tons of ways to incorporate white into your eye look, so have fun with it.
