Deep Winter lips, cheeks and eyes

01 Lips

Start with the lip.

Start in berry. Cool red and plum berry are the next steps.

  • #8B1F4FBerryThe anchor shade, deep and cool.
  • #A5122FCool redA cool red with depth.
  • #6F2457Plum berryDarker and quieter, for a deep lip.

In the shade name, look for berry, wine, plum

Why, and how solid

A cool, deep berry matches your cool, deep coloring, so it reads as part of your face and not something sitting on it. Tradition

02 Cheeks

A cheek that reads like you.

Swipe berry rose or deep cool rose on your cheek and check it by a window.

  • #8B1F4FBerry roseBerry rose, close to a deep flush.
  • #A74468Deep cool roseDeep and cool, a touch lighter.

In the shade name, look for berry rose, deep cool rose

Why, and how solid

Too warm can turn orange by noon, and too pale can read gray. On deeper skin, a white base can sit on top. Tradition

03 Eyes

Eyes, from lid to lash line.

Wear charcoal or plum on the lid and deep teal for color. Add silver at the inner corner.

  • #33383ECharcoalA soft black for depth.
  • #5C2A5FPlumDeep purple that stays cool.
  • #0E6B73Deep tealDeep blue-green, for color.

In the shade name, look for charcoal, plum, deep teal

Why, and how solid

Cool, deep shades echo your palette, so your eyes look like part of one picture and not a separate decision. Tradition

04 Two lights

Same shade. Two lights.

A white base can turn a shade chalky. Swatch pale ones by a window first.

berry, #8B1F4F

Careful with milky, powdery, soft matte pastel

Why, and how solid

White pigment scatters light and adds a pale veil. On lighter skin that reads as a soft pearl, and on deep skin it can read as chalk. A pastel that goes ashy on you is often the formula and not you. Tradition

05 Eye look

How to read the cards

The color on each card is the color family a pick sits closest to, not the exact product shade. A picture shows that color on a plain, unbranded piece and not the product. Save picks with Add to my list, then open them all in one Amazon cart.

09 Foundation

Foundation is different.

It follows your skin, not your season.

  1. Read the undertone words in the shade notes, then test at your jaw in daylight.

    Depth is easy to get right and undertone is where foundations go wrong. Brands name shades differently, so a number tells you less than the words. Moderate

Deep Winter makeup for everyday looks.

Each lip, blush and eye shade on your phone, with its name, to hold next to the tester.
