Why these work on Deep Winter

Your coloring pulls cool, clear and vivid shades. When lipstick matches that profile, your skin looks more even, your eyes look brighter, and the overall effect is pulled-together instead of painted-on. The picks above sit in that sweet spot — they work WITH your palette instead of fighting it.

What to avoid

Skip pastels, light nudes, and warm golden shades. Anything too light or too warm will look washed out against your deep, cool coloring.
