Cool Winter makeup notes.
- Lips. Raspberry, berry, plum, wine, cranberry, burgundy, crimson, and cool red. Avoid warm corals or peachy nudes.
- Eyes. Charcoal, deep plum, smoky black, cool taupe, and silver shadows. Black liner works beautifully.
- Blush. Cool berry, pink mauve, and cool rose. Avoid warm peach or apricot.
- Foundation. Look for cool or neutral undertones—never warm or yellow-based.
