True Winter colors to avoid
A color outside the palette is a styling problem you can solve, not something forbidden. Change where it sits or how much you use.
Blue-red, sapphire and clear emerald make a crisp, cool statement. Distinct light-and-dark combinations are often easier than blending many dusty middle tones.
Three shades to approach differently

Compare these shadesA practical rule
Keep a difficult shade away from the face, soften it with a neckline or pair it with a familiar neutral. Preference still comes first.
For this clearer palette, let a distinct accent stand beside a simple neutral.
Try it with what you own
Choose one item from your wardrobe or makeup kit. Compare it with a chip, then look at the actual item in neutral daylight. Keep notes about combinations you enjoy.
