True Winter

True Winter lipstick

Compare a sheer and a full-coverage version of a compatible lip color. The same shade can look softer when applied lightly.

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.

Colors to begin with

Blue-red, raspberry, cool magenta offer starting families for True Winter.

A practical rule

Lip color combines with your natural lip pigmentation. Test on the lips, rather than relying on a wrist swatch or online product photograph.

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.
