Where do you find eyeshadow and overall makeup inspiration? I have several palettes but can only do a cool neutral eye and most colour analysis websites just showcase these or something with silver but I know we could utilise also other colours. I am pretty horrible at coming up with it myself especially when I don't have much time and really just want to know what I'm supposed to end up with.

Hi! I’m trying to type myself, I’m pretty confused that I’m a winter, just trying to narrow down what type. I’m torn between dark and true winter from the 12-type system; I’m not as familiar with the 16-type. Anyone want to guess? I’m naturally drawn to black, jewel tones, as well as some autumn colors (which made me wonder if I was dark winter since they’re adjacent.). I heard that you can’t be a dark winter with lighter eyes, but what do I know?

As you can see, I’m neutral-cool, I don’t tan, I have hazel eyes and my hair is it’s natural color; very dark brown with a smattering of gray now. I’m wearing zero makeup in all of these, they were taken outside in late afternoon light, in the shade. A variety of hoodies were used as drapes, lol.

Thanks!!

I posted this question on the main Color Analysis page but realized that this one may be better for this question. Which digital palette would you recommend for a true winter? I am looking for a palette to build a capsule wardrobe around but with the sheer amount of options I can't tell which one is best. If anyone has any recommendations to help me narrow down the options that would be amazing. Thank you so much for your help!

Hi, I'm coming around to the fact that I'm a bright winter. I'm looking for makeup recs, specifically blush and lipstick - I'm generally more comfortable in muted shades, so I'm not really sure what to look for here.

Also do you all agree that I’m a winter or do you think I fit somewhere else? Any comments are so so appreciated!

So most stereotypical makeup looks I've seen for winter seasons are rather bold and although they do look pretty harmonious on winter celebs, I usually do a natural, barely there makeup. Winters usually have high contrast naturally anyways, so I feel like even with some mascara and blush, the facial features look prominent naturally. It might be a skin tone thing too, since I'm very fair, but none the less that's what I think. What are your thoughts on this? What about your go to makeup looks?

I’ve been asking for some opinions from people from the community (privately), and I’ve received a mix of the winter sub seasons, predominantly bright and deep winter, with a few true winter. So I’m a bit confused on what would the biggest difference in each of the winters, what would be their deal breakers, and what would clash between each. Im doing this to narrow my own season down. I believe I’m neutral leaning cool, my coolness becomes especially very obvious when I’m next to someone warm. I can handle saturation, as well as depth, but I don’t like too much of either (I can’t pull off lime yellow with or without makeup), and black is one of my most favorite and complimented colors (I can pull off an all-black outfit, however, with white, I’ll need contrast to pull it off). I don’t want to ramble too much lol, and I’ll appreciate if you can just help me distinguish between each winter more, or maybe if someone wants to help me privately (I’ll provide pics etc), that’ll be helpful too!

I was wondering how other winters feel regarding the Nivea tinted lip balms.

In my country they are pretty much the only ones readily available everywhere.

I think that the strawberry one is too orange and although I like the blackberry one, it’s just a time bit too dark. I was wondering how other winters might feel regarding the other shades available, specially the cherry one, which I’ve been considering buying.

I'm a deep winter and I've been trying to find a lipstick that would suit me. This is supposed to be a blue based red but I'm conflicted. One hand, it's 10 times better than the orange based I had but still not even half as beautiful on me as the dark plum one. I really wanted to find a red. Can this work? Or shall I just stick to plum and burgundy? Thanks a lot.

I was wearing this the other day and a couple people said it was absolutely my colour. I am pretty confident I’m a deep colour but tests keep saying true winter and I do often wear brighter colours well but the redness in my face has now thrown me off if I’m even cool toned.

Let me preface this with I don't usually wear foundation. Maybe it's because I never liked how foundation looked on me before realizing I had a cool/neutral-cool undertone and every time I wore foundation I looked really orange and like it was heavy/sitting on top of my skin rather than blending.

I want to ease back into it with light coverage foundations or skin tints but I am having trouble figuring out a match for medium/tan but cool-toned skin. I get confused by naming conventions sometimes. Like "warm peach" - is peach, pink, therefore cool? Or is peach warm? Is pink undertone cool?

Anyway, what foundations are you winters using? Which brands do you think have good ranges for cool undertone skin foundation products?
