Nothing says winter quite like a berry tone. Sweet, rich and delectably scented, shades of purple, red and brown are perfect for warming one’s look as we all surrender to the inevitable winter pallor.

This season try for a mulberry eye, or a raspberry lip and for the ‘I’ve just popped in off the ski slopes for a hot chocolate with a dash of Baileys look’ a warmly toned cheek stain is the only option.

Here are some tried and products (we wouldn’t have it any other way) perfect for stepping out in, paired with a beanie/scarf combination and a large latte. Yes I am living out New York set Rom Com fantasies …

About Olivia Hambrett

Liv Hambrett is the Editor in Chief of Trespass. She has a weakness for the Scandinavian pop scene, doughnuts, and escapism (among many other things). She routinely pours cups of tea and forgets about them, buys international glossy magazines even though they highlight her fashion, fiscal and physical shortcomings and has lost count of how many perfumes she owns. This doesn't stop her from buying more. One day, she will write a bestselling book, turn it into an award winning screenplay, and retire to a villa (or yacht, she's not fussy) in the Mediterranean, to live out the rest of her days in sundrenched peace. If you lose her, look under a pile of books, scrap paper and empty tea cups, or check her bank statements for any recent, rash plane-ticket purchases. Don't try and call her, she's probably lost her phone.
