How to use makeup to add glow to dull winter skin

How to use makeup to add glow to dull winter skin
Reviving winter skin and how to get a glow at this time of year is something I constantly get asked about. The secret is in your skincare and choosing luminous light reflective makeup. Both of these tips will help bring dull winter skin back to life ensuring it doesn't look flat.
This film covers some of my favourite skincare products and the a step by step guide to inject some colour and glow to your skin with makeup.
As always, let me know what you think of this look and the products used and I'll try to reply to as many comments as I can.

Sat at my kitchen table in my dressing gown looking like I've escaped from a high security institution, cup of tea in hand and watching my Saturday fix of Caroline 😊. Love that eye shadow, soooo pretty and subtle. Off upstairs to go and get ready and put on a face even though I'm not going out but it makes me happy. Have a lovely weekend everyone.

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

Love your message and can picture it all 😂❤️

[@tallisinwonderland4724]

I wish everyone on this channel could have a meet up, we are all such a lovely, cool bunch (just reading comments and this is always such a nice place to be on a Saturday morning) lovely look as always Caroline and yes I have coffee ❤❤❤❤ ☕️ 😂 I love BP and that serum is amazing xxx

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

I know that’s how I feel and it’s so rare these days!!!! Everyone is always angry and argumentative yet I have the best bunch I could wish for!

[@monawhitehead1682]

Happy Saturday from Nashville,TN, USA. Drinking coffee in bed, watching Speed Beauty- my favorite Saturday morning ritual ☕️

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

This makes me so happy!!

[@cherylbrendish3268]

I am doing exactly as you said…in bed, with a cup of coffee in Cornwall listening to the birds in the trees outside our bedroom window :)

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

Pure bliss and how wonderful to live in Cornwall 💋

[@audreyso1201]

You are radiant Caroline, I really like this makeup

[@matijamosunic7853]

Insomniac fan from San Francisco, CA. 💤 I need cool tones. Love your use of cool & bright m/u in order to wear warm & neutral clothing colors!

[@juliemanington2249]

I love guys, the way they just say it as it is, and when they say something doesn’t suit you, normally they are right..

[@lauravu1034]

You're so beautiful Caroline and this makeup look is so modern and gorgeous on you (as usual!). You've been my favourite makeup artist for years and that won't change! I always look forward to your videos. Have a lovely week Caroline 😊

[@gladysgarrity5721]

Morning Caroline nice fresh makeup look Take care see you next week ❤

[@suzannecole2705]

Love Saturday morning with you and also love @pamperedwolf with Gemma and @aliandreea a fab make up artist based in Paris! Looking forward to your 2024 videos! 👍🏻😀

[@denisefrost]

Got a coffee, got the eye patches on for a good old depuff and watching Caroline while i wait.❤

[@Bev_Ando]

Love this look on you so radiant

[@KM-kr4wt]

☕️ Love Saturday Mornings with Speed Beauty!

[@lynnefusco5320]

Another beautiful look Caroline 🥰

[@yvonnecoogan8287]

A beautiful glowy look which is just what I need with the low light in the UK at the moment. ❤

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

Couldn’t agree more!

[@dorothyevans3864]

☕️ You know it! Just the video I needed this morning xx

[@margaretwilkin2242]

Great video Caroline, you look amazing! Look forward to watching your skincare and makeup tips every Saturday. 😊❤

[@QuadJ1990]

Hey from sunny South Carolina, it’s only 60° but no snow. In bed, hubby’s bringing me a cup of coffee ☕️ and a new Speed Beauty! Delightful.

[@wendyyates1610]

Stunning yet simple, really lovely, once that pink lip went on it just came to life ❤ x

[@leastone9600]

Watching Caroline with porridge and breakfast teapot is my perfect Saturday morning treat! Great tips as always ❤

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

So so lucky to be part of your day!

[@clare4191]

☕ in bed and a new Speed Beauty video, perfect! A lesson in how pink gives your face life, but not just any pink.... tones of pink are everything. Once you cooled the blush down with a couple of pats of the Fenty lippy.... WOW! Such subtleties make all the difference. Cool vs warmed tones is something I'm obsessed with and 'clashing' tones are like nails down a blackboard for me. So a very satisfying video, thank you, Caroline! PS. Can you please add a glasses tutorial to your list... thank you! X

[@uteliebl542]

Yes! A glasses video would be so great! 😊

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

Coming soon I promise!!!

[@lisabrock960]

I always enjoy my Saturday morning time watching your videos and having my coffee. Your techniques of applying makeup are so helpful. I really love a skin tint! The youth bomb sounds amazing!! This whole look is a breath of fresh air!

[@mgparis]

What stunning shades on you, very brightening indeed! Thanks Caroline, always a pleasure watching you :)

[@kategibb5245]

Lovely look Caroline.Finally joined Beauty Pie after years of dithering.The oil and you made me do it.

[@joanrummell3101]

Thank you, Caroline, just a perfect look on you! Your skin looks amazing. I love the blurred, soft look, also. You asked who we watch on KZbin, while it's not too many for me, I do enjoy EmilyNoel. She has the same, "love of makeup" that I think we all share. Have a lovely weekend

[@amytheune286]

☕️ I just love listening to you and I always love your makeup ❤

[@sarkahalastova9667]

Amazing look. I have to try the blush placing like you do.

[@user-vy5bx5xy1q]

Thanks so much for this ❤

[@jessicawickham1195]

Fab look as always. I’m tempted to by the lid elixir as I love a quick eye and it looked great. I always look forward to your videos ❤

[@alisonmcpherson8496]

☕️ but not in bed. It is the highlight of my week ❤

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

I mean I am so flipping lucky!!!

[@jillianpurdy2542]

Morning Caroline, not in bed but watching on the sofa with toast and coffee☕ Would watch even if I didn't learn anything as I enjoy watching your application techniques and use of colour, but tune in as much for your 'blathering'. Thought you were going to use nail polish on your lips when you pulled out the product! 😂 xx❤

[@justgena33]

Hi Caroline, I learn so much watching your videos. I also adore the lipsticklesbians, very informative regarding differences in formulations and using that information to pick the right products. Love from NYC

[@BeeKay4444]

You have such an artists eye for makeup. I wish I had that ability to string together colours/looks that complement each other. This is beautiful and I appreciate your content always 🩷

[@emmaboulton1]

I bought the VB mascara this week. It’s beautiful and yes it is very weighty.

[@samf8538]

Love this look. ❤

[@marypricehilton449]

I found the blush application technique very useful. I will rethink my heavy-handed all-over splodges.

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

[@victoriasykes5570]

Loved this xxx

[@shannonrolfes5171]

Any time I'm wearing a color than is not necessarily complimentary, but I love, I think "More Blush!"

[@uteliebl542]

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

😚

[@joanmills2294]

Cup of tea, cozy blanket and speed beauty, perfect

[@kathleenmcgonigle]

Lovely look Caroline!! I definitely want that lip paint!

[@Antonia-pi8qg]

☕️💕I have a blouse in that colour and I needed something to bring it up what an great make up ❤I will replicate and get the blouse out of the closet 💕

[@maxinemewis4300]

Hi Caroline! Gorgeous soft eye look with a beautiful pink lip! 👄 and thank you for showing the powders 👍🏻 I bought the Vieve in light, which is ok for now in wintertime, but it’s too light for me in summer. I’ll take the plunge and get the medium now I’ve seen it 🤪 many thanks. Much love xxx

[@tracyw7362]

love your videos

[@CarynWaller]

Just bought the youth bomb and subscribed to beauty pie. Thanks Caroline. Been thinking about joining for a while and this pushed me over the edge.

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

Let me know what you like and take a look at previous films for product recommendations 👍🏻

[@missbehaving4710]

Wow that blush is magic. May I ask for a recommendation for brown eyeliner suitable for crepey lids? I am looking for a rich warm brown rather than ashy or dark as i have blue eyes

[@lizkelley9060]

It gives me such hope when you go from rough to buff CB - we can all look luscious at this ghastly time of year….question…I start glowy but by 11 am feel very dry and flaky…what do you do to maintain during a working day? Serum on top?

[@gillbrown3523]

I love how you softened the lipstick Caroline I will definitely try that. I steer away from strong colours because sometimes they can look harsh on me. 🥰

[@cupofsugar]

Morning Caroline

[@judypreece4957]

Thank you - again. Top tip I’ve started using immediately & loving, placement of blusher then only feathering out the edges, seems so obvious now, but your demonstration brought it home. Also pushing myself towards a stronger lip colour (as you explained) cos I’ve always been shy with it with previous bad choices & zero confidence. Thank you ☺️

[@cherisemorris8046]

I love the Youth Bomb concentrate! I’m definitely going to put a bit on the lips as well. Love my Saturdays - my hubby brings me coffee and juice and I catch up on your videos.

[@zoepayne1549]

Park run done followed by watching my Saturday fix of Caroline x

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

Nailed the weekend 😂

[@dagallagher9628]

Hubby brought me coffee in bed. Now it’s my time with Caroline.

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@leannepllpplplpbenn363]

Drawn on lips! I think that's what I've been doing that makes me feel that as I get older I can't wear the bright lipstick colours that I love. I'm going to try the cotton bud (q-tip, where I am).

[@reallyree]

Thank you Caroline for showing Lid Elixir. You’re the best ❤

[@nnroberts4750]

Watching you on holiday in South Africa which is our winter break each year. It’s so lovely to still be able to have my Caroline fix on a Saturday, so thank you. Love the look xx

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

Oh wow that’s amazing!!!!

Not in bed... But it is still the morning haha x

[@ciaramc_121]

I have been loving this U Beauty product for winter in NYC. I would love to try the Reeson products. Fingers crossed they start shipping to the US this year

[@janeydick9367]

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

Thank you ☺️

wonderful video

[@EmmaK777]

Sunday morning ☕️ here! I have a couple of neutral tops I love, but acknowledge make me look corpse-like 💀 ... this video really helps with how to balance that out with make-up, and make them wearable. Thank you ❤

Gorgeous! I think hubby will change he's tune,you look amazing!😊 ☕💄

[@r.melindar.1349]

Hugs from NC in the United States! Adore you! ❤❤

[@sarahmatthews1090]

Thank you Caroline. I now find myself copying you with the lipstick thing where I. Put my finger over it to soften the colour then add some to my cheeks. I loved that bright pink lipstick by Fenty.☕️I do the cup of tea in bed in Australia on Sunday. Have a great day.

[@AMG-qn6jx]

You are so funny and right….top fab with the makeup

[@JoelleCathala]

Hello Caroline, this is a very fresh and healthy looking make-up ! One could imagine that you went to the country side and had a big joyful walk with your children to pick up a big bouquet of wild flowers ! ( Maybe not so many flowers in winter, though…) Anyway, you look radiant ! Have a joyful weekend ! 🌸

[@katemakeuplooks]

Fantastic cheek and lip combo ❤😍. I have a Lisa Eldridge velvet liquid lipstick (sorry can’t remember the exact name) and going to use it today on cheeks and lips as you have here 👍😊xx

[@katemakeuplooks]

Love love love Youth Bomb!!! Can’t decide if I like the serum or the moisturising cream more. The moisturiser is great over my high-strength retinol at night. In fact I forgot it for a few days on a work trip and now I’m suffering from dry skin. I also like the Super Healthy Skin cream from Beauty Pie but I think I have to accept that I’m now almost 50 and need something a little extra…😅😂. Hope you enjoyed the London sunshine over the weekend, Caroline, it was such beautiful winter weather ☀️☀️Have a great week ❤❤xx

[@meckismicki]

Caroline, Even at my age I have learned so much using your techniques. Especially the use of cotton buds, which makes everything look effortless. Saturday with you really makes my day brighter. Your like that burst of sunshine where there isn't any.🌄🌞

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

Ooooh what away to start a Monday!!! Thanks 😊

[@lamsing6090]

Hi caroline. Im making an making marmalade today. A long process. but so well worth it. So in between the simmering part, am enjoying a break watching your vid.☕

[@jomidwinter]

I’m doing the same 🍊😂

[@rebekahsalt26]

☕️ also I’ve just discovered I’m anemic again 😢 so I’m desperately in need of a glow 😂

[@andreaawangku1782]

Saturday night here so its a glass of wine while watching and reading all the comments. If you suffer with dry lips as I have done for years, check out your toothpaste. I discovered that by switching out my toothpaste for one that does not contain SLS, greatly improved the situation. Give it a try! This whole makeup look is so minimal, fresh and youthful. I love that bright fuschia pink lipstick. I always have problems finding a pink that isnt too blue as those pinks just dont suit me. I will have to try out this Fenty one. For concealer my favourite is my Nars Radiant Concealer...just the right amount of coverage and brightens under the eyes perfectly. After a late night or having hammered the red wine a bit much I always reach for the iT cosmetics under eye concealer. Many say its too thick but you literally just take a tiny tiny pin sized dot, rub it between your fingertips then pop that on...bye bye red wine dark circles! Sorry Ive waffled on a bit here lol Wishing you a great week ahead. Have a lovely weekend everyone and see you all again next week! x

[@keepfitgirl8191]

I love Ree. If you speak to her please can you ask her to do the lid elixir in a cooler cooler as well. I've looked at the one you put on and have a feeling it will pull an orangey colour on me. I have 3 go to makeup artists I watch on KZbin - you (obviously!), Shonagh Scott and the goddess that is Lisa Eldridge. I do watch quite a few US & UK youtubers for info on new products and reviews. Emma x

[@mandd4963]

I’m really scared to use lipstick as blusher because I am acne prone (even though I’m in my 50s). I love the way you unified the look by doing that though. ❤

[@susansteingold9163]

Lovely look, can you suggest an alternative for the eye that is available in the US? Wish we could get the lid elixir here/

[@cheryl3366]

Love the makeup. Do you have a sunscreen recommendation that I can get in the United States

[@lisam4889]

Love your films. I know you mentioned a video for glasses. Could you do both in person makeup and zoom makeup for glasses? I’m a Long time contact lenses user - now having to wear glasses full time. Struggling with eye make up - especially eye liner. Thanks so much!

[@zoebeech1002]

Wow Caroline I'm off to buy that lippy....

[@ninak8506]

☕🍩 Love it! Very excited about the beauty pie opportunity because at the the moment I don't want to subscribe. Bold lip color is my problem! Lipstick dissappears on me or moves. Then I have this outline around my lips where the product remains and it looks stupid 🙄

[@dawnjohnson8739]

Color works.

[@alicewamp]

So frustrating that BP isn’t in Australia. ☕️ doing my make with you though 😊

[@emmaboulton1]

I love watching you, Lisa Eldridge and Jamie Genevieve (it’s her uplifting personality that’s got me hooked).

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

Wow that’s a major compliment to me 🤗

[@Ladynipchick2]

Lol, we're Caroline's Saturday Girls!

[@uteliebl542]

Good morning to all of you watching Caroline‘s amazing video! It‘ sunday morning and I enjoy it today with my cup of coffee on the sofa. Unfortunately I could not get the BP things here in Germany I think. Is there probably any alternative to these products?

[@annfarr4605]

I read somewhere that oil is occlusive and should go on top of other skincare. So at night, that's what I do with Youthbomb 360 - cleanse, hyaluronic acid, all round serum, moisturiser and Youthbomb. The latter goes on so very nicely and one's face draws it all in, leaving a lovely soft plumped up skin. In the morning, my face is so smooth and feels lovely. Anyone else do this?

[@daniellereid01]

I love your channel, Caroline. I learn things all the time, plus you make me feel good about getting older because I’m 60 this year and ‘things’ have changed so much on my face (and elsewhere 🫤) over the past few years. I also love Violette France. She is so stunning and I really love her attitude towards make-up. Thank you ❤

[@joannebooth5375]

❤ im considering buying the vb mascara and eye liner. Looks lovely. Is that one a tubing one?

[@angelaleishman1570]

Oh gosh I wouldn't give VB a penny!! Far better mascaras for a lot less.

[@tedrahsmothers5565]

Caroline would you say you are neutral cool or warm when you choose your base?

[@julesscarborough2619]

Love this simple bright look! I have a question, I’m 52, my skin has larger pores on my nose and inner cheeks and some redness on my cheeks and chin. I can cover and correct it quite well with foundation and concealer but it can look a bit like too much product on my skin. The question is, would you let the imperfections show and go for a shearer makeup look that is more modern and cool or cover it up so the whole look is perfected? 😅 The problem is, I think I like perfected skin more than anything else but it limits the looks I can wear. And takes longer! I watch Nikki La Rose, a makeup artist from LA, but I don’t know if you’d get anything from her xx

[@kathleenmayer2729]

Can you please do make up for Gingers. I have had my colors done and been told I'm a summer and another an autumn. I don't know what make up to wear, to light to dark. Peach, pink or red? Help please.

[@maryrose7842]
