GLOW ON, GIRL!
Winter is synonymous with dark, dreary days, which often leads to a lusterless look. We’ve enlisted M·A·C Senior Artist, Caitlin Callahan – who’s portfolio includes everyone from Lady Gaga to the models at Erin Fetherston and Jeremy Laing – to teach us a few tips and tricks for scoring a radiant glow year round.
5 MAKE-UP TRICKS TO ENCHANCE A HEALTHY-LOOKING WINTER GLOW
GLOWING COMPLEXION?
Water is crucial for radiant skin, according to Callahan. Aside from guzzling the good stuff, take our pro’s advice and spritz your face with M·A·C Fix+ before and after makeup application. The water-based spray contains glycerin to give a young sheen to the skin. For added glow, highlight your cheekbones and brow bone with a highlighter, while keeping the t-zone matte.

SPARKLING EYES
“A navy blue pencil in the water line is sparkly no matter what eye colour you have,” says Callahan. “It makes the whites of your eyes extra white and that’s always a good thing!”

ROSY CHEEKS?
“Don’t go for a matte finish, use something with a bit of shine to it,” Callahan advises, such as a cream or mineral blush or bronzer. Furthermore, be careful not to contour your cheekbones with these products. Instead, just smile in the mirror and dust colour on the apples of your cheeks for a look that, as she says, puts you in the pink.
LUMINESCENT SHOULDERS AND DÉCOLLETAGE?
One trick practiced by many celebrity makeup artists is to add a touch of reflective glitter into a dollop of moisturizer, then spread it evenly over your shoulder and chest, Callahan reveals. This look can easily become overpowering, so start with just a touch and build with layers as desired. ?

SPARKLING POUT
“Wear lip conditioner to bed, exfoliate your lips with a toothbrush, and add a touch of iridescent gloss to the inside of your lips overtop of any lip colour,” says Callahan. “Don’t gloss all the way to the edges; it looks to greasy. Gloss will move around on its own.”?
