Put your palette into practice
Season-based styling ideas, not measurements of your face or predictions of a dye result. Start with what you own and compare in daylight.
Makeup colors
- Lips
- Blue-red, cool fuchsia or raspberry
- Blush
- Cool pink or rose
- Eyes
- Cool taupe, slate or charcoal
Try sheer color first and adjust depth to your skin and preference. Match foundation to your actual skin, not to a seasonal label.
Hair color ideas
- Color directions
- Cool dark brown, ash brown or blue-toned black
- Highlights & dimension
- Keep any highlights cool and intentional
- Compare before committing
- Compare against strongly orange, golden or caramel tones
These are color directions, not haircut advice. Use temporary previews or swatches first; your current color and previous dye affect the result.
Five things to compare in daylight
- Compare black, cool navy and crisp white with your current everyday neutrals.
- Try this combination near your face: cobalt shirt + black trousers + silver detail.
- Compare a sheer blue-red, cool fuchsia or raspberry lip with a favorite lip color.
- Use cool taupe, slate or charcoal as a quiet eye-color experiment.
- Preview cool dark brown, ash brown or blue-toned black at a depth close to your current hair; do not treat the preview as a dye formula.
A few useful answers
Where should I start with True Winter?
Try cool red knit + crisp-white jeans + navy bag. Use pieces you already own and change one color at a time. Your preferences matter more than matching every swatch.
Which makeup colors can I compare?
Start with blue-red, cool fuchsia or raspberry for lips and cool pink or rose for cheeks. Sheer application makes comparison easier. Match foundation separately to your actual skin.
Does True Winter require a different hair color?
No. Cool dark brown, ash brown or blue-toned black are optional directions to preview, not a requirement. Keep any highlights cool and intentional. Existing dye and lighting can affect both the analysis and a preview.
What if this palette does not feel right?
Compare another palette in the same indirect daylight. A photograph or quiz is not a professional measurement. You can keep useful individual colors, retain two candidates or retake the photo without forcing a label.
