The Best Clean Makeup Colors for Bright Winter

Bright Winter is not a season that needs its color toned down.

Clear, cool and high-energy shades often look surprisingly natural on Bright Winter because the person has enough contrast to support them.

Muted beige can actually be more difficult.

What to look for

For lips, look for clear cool red, cherry, vivid raspberry, bright berry and fuchsia.

For cheeks, consider clear pink, cool berry and brighter rose.

For eyes, crisp charcoal, cool deep brown, navy, silver, icy accents and jewel-toned color can all make sense depending on the look.

The Good Measure rule

Choose clear over dusty.

Bright Winter needs definition.

A shade that appears intimidatingly bright in the tube may become beautifully balanced on someone whose coloring has the clarity to meet it.
