Can't get enough of Tiktok-famous makeup trends? Well, here’s another one to add to your list of must-try: the "I'm cold" look.
This makeup look is supposed to mimic the natural flush one gets when met by the cool winter breeze. Living in a tropical country, we aren’t always able to experience such a thing with the infamous Manila heat, but that shouldn't stop you from trying to look like adorable snow angels.
The good news? The look is so easy to recreate! You probably already have everything you need in your makeup bag—but if you don’t, no worries, because we’ve listed down some products to add to cart together with a step-by-step guide on how to achieve the trendy "I'm cold" look!
How to Achieve the "I’m Cold" Makeup Look
1. Apply your base makeup.
A matte base will help you mimic that dry (but not too dry) winter skin. Use a mattifying foundation, such as the Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation, all over your face, especially on shine-prone areas, such as your forehead, cheeks, and nose bridge.

Bright and smooth undereyes are also essential to the look. Choose a concealer that's a shade lighter than your natural skin tone for that fresh and wide awake vibe.

2. Use a cream and powder blush combo that mimics your natural flush.
The blush is the most important part of this look. Choose a cream and powder blush that’ll give you the most natural-looking flush. A cream blush will blend more naturally onto your cheeks, while a powder blush will help get rid of any unwanted shine.

Apply the cream blush on the apples of your cheeks. Blend with a circular motion and spread it a bit closer to the sides of your nose. Then with a smaller brush, dab some blush onto the tip of your nose to create that soft frost-bitten look. You can also add some blush to your chin if you’d like. To set the look, dust it off with powder blush.
You might think you should go your merry way applying too much blush, but don't overdo it. You'd want it to still look as natural as possible. If you think you put on too much blush, just go over it with some matte powder.
3. Add shimmer to your eyes and nose.
For this look, eyeshadow is optional, but silver or white highlighter can be used on certain areas for a more icy look. Place it on your lids, the inner corner of your eyes, and at the tip of your nose.

4. Finish off your look with a rosy lippie.
For a more natural look, dab a rosy liquid lip tint in the middle of your pout and spread it outwards. Leave it matte or top it off with a clear lip gloss, and you’re done!
