Can True Winters wear warm colors at all?

True Winters should avoid warm colors as they clash with cool undertones. Even 'neutral' warm colors like camel or tan can look off. Stick to cool colors—they make you look vibrant and healthy.

What is True Winter's best neutral palette?

True Winters look striking in black, white, navy, charcoal, and cool gray. These sharp neutrals complement your high-contrast coloring perfectly. Avoid warm neutrals like tan, beige, or brown.

What red lipstick suits True Winter?

True Winters look stunning in blue-based reds: cherry, crimson, and true red. Avoid orange-based reds like tomato or rust. Cool berry tones also work beautifully.

How should True Winters approach pastel colors?

True Winters can wear icy pastels as accents—icy pink, icy blue, icy lavender. These keep the cool quality while adding lightness. Avoid warm or dusty pastels.
