Winter is the perfect time to turn up the heat. Instead of mourning your summer tan or trying to get it back by hitting the tanning booth and loading on the bronzer, take advantage of that porcelain skin! Go out on a limb and try a smoky chocolate on the eye or a deep red lip. When you choose eye colors such as rich burgundy, plum, or wine instead of your classic charcoal youll warm up your complexion as well as add drama, so you wont risk looking too fair.

This season is also the perfect time to purchase new colors as many makeup lines release holiday sets at great prices! Not only will you save money but sets take the guess work out of combining colors. Here are some of my favorites (available at Sephora):

Vincent Longo Sexy Things Kit

 
Stila Step Out and Shine

Nars “Artist Palette”
