Seasonal makeup: blush and lipstick

I was thinking the other day how I've totally neglected some of my blushes and lippies, particularly the warmer bronze/apricot colours. I thought I'd show you what kind of colours I tend to wear in winter as opposed to summer...
DAYTIME BLUSHES
TOP ROW: WINTER 
Savvy by DB blush in Rose
Arbonne blush in Blossom*

BOTTOM ROW: SUMMER
NARS blush in Luster
Sleek blush in Rose Gold 

 Left: Winter blushes - Savvy by DB in Rose, Arbonne blush in Blossom
Right: Summer blushes:NARS Luster  (3rd swatch), Sleek Rose Gold (4th swatch) 

 During winter, I definitely wear more pink toned colours. I prefer a sunkissed glow in summer, if I did that in winter, you'd be able to tell I was cheating!

 NIGHT BLUSHES
TOP: WINTER
MAC Beauty Powder Blush in Feeling
Elf Studio Blush in Berry Merry

BOTTOM: SUMMER
MAC Powder blush in Margin
Sleek Blush in Sunrise

Left: Winter blushes - MAC Feeling & Elf Berry Merry
Right:  MAC Margin (3rd swatch) and Sleek Sunrise (4th swatch)

In winter, I opt for purpley toned blushes whereas in summer, I go with bronzey/browns.


NIGHT LIPSTICKS
LEFT: SUMMER
Savvy by DB lipstick in Sugar Rose
Revlon Colorburst lipstick in Rosy Nude

RIGHT: WINTER
Revlon Colorburst lipstick in Soft Rose
Arbonne lipstick in Jam*

Left: Summer lipsticks - Savvy Sugar Rose, Revlon Rosy Nude
Right: Winter - Revlon Soft Rose, Arbonne Jam

To be honest, I don't think  night time lipsticks really change for me between seasons - it depends on my outfit, where I'm going etc...anyway, I haven't included day lipsticks because I don't find much variation between seasons, but if you're curious, check out my MLBB post!

As for foundations, I find myself wearing powder foundation and BB creams more in summer because it's too hot to wear anything heavier. In winter, I make use of my liquid foundations a lot more.

For me, my eye makeup doesn't vary much by season, but rather with my outfit and how creative/lazy I feel.

Does your makeup vary with seasons? What have you been wearing this winter?

    I didn't really think about this until I saw your post. The one thing that vary with seasons is my foundation as my skin is slightly lighter in winter and a tad darker in summer. It's great that you have varying blushes for winter and summer. Those shades are gorgeous!!
