Cool (True) Winter Make-up
our skin should be even, matte and opaque. Choose blush in cool pink, magenta, fuchsia, and cool lavender and berry-inspired shades to enhance your natural radiance. Cool Winter wears matte finishes beautifully, but subtle luminosity can also add elegance.
Steer clear of rich, earthy tones, muted neutrals, and juicy corals.

How to start your new make-up routine
1. Review your current make-up kit!
You don’t necessarily have to replace everything right away. Compare your existing products with the colors of the Cool Winter makeup palette. If you scroll down, you will find the palettes by product type. What is quite similar can remain. One thing you should definitely get rid of is orange lipsticks.
2. Choosing the right shades
The most important thing is the right shade of foundation that matches your skin tone. It is worth spending more time on this and trying it out in person.
You have countless options when it comes to blushes and lipsticks. If you don’t have cool pink lipstick and blush in your current make-up kit, put it at the top of your shopping list. For eye makeup, get a cool neutral eyeshadow palette and black mascara.
You may not have noticed it yet, but Winter types have fewer products in drugstores. This is especially true for Cool Winter. But it’s still worth the effort to find the best products because the change will be immediately noticeable. Cool Winter is significantly aged by make-up that does not match the color type..
If you need more help, we recommend our bestselling beauty book with 100+ specific products, shade names, and more.
3. Trying new make-up looks
Since many people use makeup to express their personality, don’t feel limited. Your make-up can be natural or colorful, feel free to use your palette! What we don’t recommend is spring peachy and soft, earthy nude looks. Instead, use a cool smoky eyeshadow look, silver eyeliner. Magenta and cool red lipsticks and cool pink blushes look great, but you can also start using silver/pink highlighters. What does not match are terracottas, warm corals and pale nudes, but try not to focus on what is on the “no list”. You have beautiful colors in your makeup palette, use them!

Cool Winter Foundations
Generally, Cool Winter skin can range from fair to very deep. Its undertone is typically cool or neutral-cool, with a naturally crisp blue/or pink tone. Regardless of depth, the skin creates a striking contrast with the eyes and hair. As a Cool Winter, look for cool (C), cool-neutral (CN) or rosy (R) shades. In the long run, don’t overthink it – the final deciding factor is to try the foundation on your face and check the results in daylight to see how it looks.
Cool Winter Blush
Look for a blush that best matches the colors of your natural glow and highlights your cool and crisp appearance. You can choose any color from your make-up palette, but it is best to coordinate the color of the blush with your lipstick.
Cool Winter best blush shades:
- baby pinks
- icy pinks and roses
- orchid rose
- lavender and berry (cool, not warm)
The colors of Cool Winter are cooler than the Dark Winter palettes. It may be surprising, but due to this coolness, light pink blushes are also recommended. Be careful not to choose a too warm or pale color, but rather one with a cool, icy effect.
Cool Winter Lipsticks
Cool bubblegum and orchid pink shades are your perfect everyday lip colors. You can also wear nude tones with cool undertones, as well as cool berry shades for a naturally polished look. We recommend cool blue red, magenta, icy burgundy, or purple from your bold color palette. Choose matte or satin finishes for an elegant, refined effect.
Cool Winter best lipstick shades:
- icy and pinky nudes
- barbie and bubblegum pinks
- violet and lavender purples
- raspberry and magenta
- cool blue reds
- dark purples
Keep in mind that the perfect shades vary from person to person, even within your color type. It depends on your hue, value, and chroma on an individual level. However, your color palette will help you narrow down your options and make your shopping experience easier!

Cool Winter Mature Skin Make-up

You keep your clarity, but the contrast can be reduced by greying or white hair. However, it is not recommended to change the color palette. It is possible that you felt the vibe of pop of colors more when you were younger (but your own icy colors will always look great on you!), many people prefer neutral colors as they get older. It’s totally up to you.

Cool Winter Hair Colors
When choosing color for your hair, there are many factors to consider. But the goal is to pick a shade that best accentuates your natural features. Your own luxe brown/black hair color emphasizes your beauty wonderfully. You can safely leave your natural brown or black hair, your appearance will be refined and sophisticated.
It is very unlikely for a Cool Winter to be a natural blonde. However cool, silvered platinum won’t look natural but makes a fabulous fashion color.
Cool Winter Recommended Hair Colors

- black-brown
- onyx black, jet black

- cool violet
Cool Winter Hair Colors to Avoid

Cool Winter hair colors to avoid:
- golden blonde
- strawberry blonde
- copper red
- auburn red
- golden browns
Frequently Asked Questions
I don’t like my beauty color palette, what should I do?
I am convinced that color type analysis benefits everyone. But by using its rules, makeup and dressing should be easier, bring joy, not restrict and stress. There are different personalities, we relate to colors and makeup differently. Someone is more rule-following, someone is more rebellious. If you feel like wearing a warm nude eye make-up look with nude lipstick, do it. However, it is worth knowing that this does not suit you best.
The color palette of Cool Winter and the makeup colors are both cool and bright. If you are averse to these colors, there are still plenty of neutral options. You can wear cool brown eye makeup and choose a lighter color from your lipstick palette.
Can I only use black shade products?
Of course not! You can use any shade from your color palette, dark grey, icy chocolate brown, dark purple, etc. When applying eye make-up, make sure to shade the light colors with a darker contour!
Can I use glossy products?
Shiny, shimmer finishes are very trendy right now. Cool Winter types tend to prefer slightly satin finishes, but as long as the shade is right for you, you can use them. Make sure your foundation is as matte or natural as possible and only have a glossy lipstick or blush. Don’t let both be high-shine.
Can I wear red lipstick?
Absolutely! But when choosing a specific shade, keep in mind that warm, orange reds are not the best for Cool Winter. Choose a classic blue red shades. But you can also experiment with berry and icy burgundy red shades.
What hair color should I choose?
If you don’t like your natural hair color and want to change it, be careful not to choose a color that is too warm. From medium brown to dark brown/black, a variety of colors can work well. It is very unlikely for a Cool Winter to be a natural blonde. However cool, silvered platinum won’t look natural but makes a fabulous fashion color. Winters have an naturally striking look, so fashion colors can suit them surprisingly well. The exact shade that will work best depends on your individual characteristics and your starting hair color.
