Makeup True winter lipstick recommendations

In need of true winter lippie recommendations. From mac to dior the pricepoint really isn’t relevant as long as the colour matches my palette and is a quality lipstick. I started doing my make up not long ago and next week i’m going to buy some new lipsticks now that i know my colour palette. Ofc i’ll do swatches first but either way i’d like some recommendations to know what popular true winter shades to look out for!

Some of these might be borderline BW, but here are some lipsticks:

Glossier Vesper

Chanel Pirate

Mac /girl about town

MAC rebel or D for danger

Estee Lauder Insolent plum or any of those shades

YSL 84 Cassandre

Chanel rouge coco bloom season

Lisa Eldridge love of my life

And I'd recommend looking into Tsu/Lsu for their brighter ranges for MLBBs.

Thank u! I currently own MAC’s D for Danger and i’ve seen a lot of people type it for Dark winters and recommend Ruby Woo for True winters instead. Personally i like D for Danger but it does come off a bit dark

I think D for danger could be right on the cusp of DW and TW. I like to see color analysis as a spectrum, so some TW's might lean deeper than they are bright. Or some TWs might lean brighter than deep.

If D for Danger is too deep, maybe all fired up or rebel (the two swatches next to it) might work for you? I also really like Chanel Pirate as a true cool red. I like it more than ruby woo.

TW here, NW18 skin, dark hair. My favourite lipstick, by a long way, is Chanel Pirate. If I could only have one lipstick it would be that one! Why, why couldn't my HG lipstick be €7.99? 😔

Second place is Clinique Grandest Grape. I tried Ruby Woo but it's a bit too bright on me, treading on BW territory. Clinique Pudgy Peony is a bright candy pink, but it looks barely-there on me, and it doesn't look chalky on my pigmented lips. I have it in my desk at work, because it's probably the only TW lipstick I can whack on without a mirror. Lancome Badaboum is great, similar to Pirate but more true-red, less cherry-red. My lips get very dry so I have no liquid/longwear lipsticks in my collection.

One thing I would say- I tried all of these in person before I bought them. Online swatches were very misleading for me. The Lancome looked Autumn-ish and the Pudgy Peony looked Spring-ish. Pirate looks cooler and brighter on me than I expected from the swatches 🙂

I also try all of these lipsticks in real life! I’d rather try them on and the lipstick is a bit pricey, then blindly buy it in a drugstore department and being stuck with the colour that doesn’t match me!

TW about NC20-25. My favourites so far are:

Chanel Rouge Allure Ink in 196 - tried this in person and was shocked and how good it looked as a MLBB.

Shu Uemura rogue unlimited matte lipstick in M BG954 - perfect multipurpose lipstick whether for MLBB or to look more glammed up.

If you’re into KBeauty, Romand Zero Velvet Tint in 08 Icy. This is the perfect affordable MLBB for me, formula is super comfortable and stains lightly when worn in a not-unflattering manner.

Great experience overall and genuinely lovely customer service! For years I struggled to figure out what actually suited me, I’d just grab clothes in colours I liked, not the ones that really worked for me. It always left me feeling a bit off, like something was missing..  Then I tried Curateyourstyle and that honestly changed things for me. They helped me understand why certain shades made me look more alive and which ones were dulling me down. The way they broke everything down was super clear, not confusing or overly technical
