I’m a Cool Winter to be precise! I’m looking for the best cool tones out there. But here’s a secret…I love wearing Cool Summer makeup, too. So I sneak it in there. ; ) “This list contains affiliate links. I may earn a small commission if you purchas...

Favorite Cool Winter Lip Colors

As a True/Cool Winter, the color palette is rich and I am so happy my season coincides with colors I love. But I tend to focus on Winter colors by either softening application for daytime, or wearing them full-blast in the evening. For day, I sometim...

The silky matte line from MAC is a classic. I don't love a super-matte lip, but this is just the right amount. Diva is one of my go-to colors when I want red. Some of the traditional reds from MAC just make me feel like the red is wearing me and not ...

Beam There Done That is a rosy plum pink from the Lustreglass Sheer-Shine Lipstick line. I like the sheerness so you can build it up or leave it like a perfectly rosy lip.

It’s more in the Summer season category but it’s cool toned and not even Lilac in color. It leans mauve. This is a “your lips but better” color that works so well for daytime.

I put this more in the Cool Summer category because it doesn't have the vibrant quality that True/Cool Winters supposedly favor. But I don't always want a vibrant lip. This is one of my go-tos. It comes in a mini size also!

There aren't a lot of brown tones for Winters, but you can definitely find some out there. To me, this RB gloss in Blaze has a great cool tone and the sparkle isn't really a pure gold, it's a rose gold and it's not overpowering.  I wear this alone and over other products.

You'll notice I never post any lip balms that cost more than $15. When these types of products from ColourPop exist, there's no reason to seek out something more expensive. This cherry color is so pretty, but I also love the two strawberry colors and...

Sometimes Sephora Collection just eats…at a better price point than prestige brands. It's $16 and always on their sales. I like #14 Blackberry Sorbet right now, but I've had others. Their descriptions will indicate which are cool tones.

Rare Beauty Liquid Blushes can be applied lightly for a natural look but you only need one dot on the cheek. I'd like to get some other colors.

I randomly picked this up and I’m so glad I did. You can get a nice sheet wash of color or you can build it up.

I can use these alone or with cream blush underneath. Not too shimmery like it looks in the photo.

Another product that I love and I hate that I love it. It’s pricey. So I get it when I have a coupon. But it’s so foolproof to apply. And the color is perfect for me. An absolute favorite. And for a Winter color palette, this is cool enough to just l...

This is my favorite base lid color. My skin tone can really handle color so this is a great base for almost any look.
