I decided to experiement with one of the new 16 seasons - Deep Winter Soft also known as the Toned Winter - The blocks of colour on the right hand side of this collage are colours taken from my actual eye colour! I just ordered the Toned Winter colour swatch fan from Lora Alexander's blog 'Pretty Your World' - I look forward to using this swatch to play around with a lot of new looks - I'm so excited!!! Stay tuned for more Deep Winter 'Soft' experiements:

I've followed your blog thru your self image discovery and from just my perspective I loved you in the warmer Autumn tones, they looked so natural. These new cooler, deeper colours don't look harmonising. I can't wait to see where your self discovery leads you.
Hi, I also follow your blog and I think that you are a type of Autumn. These Winter colors are unflattering on you and it appears as if the makeup is "sitting on" your face. The autumn color makeup "blends in with" your face, if that makes sense.
Thanks for your feedback - I like the natural effect of the autumn shades, but I also like the contrast of the winter shades - I try to keep everything in perspective and like to play around with colour - I'm starting to turn away from sticking to one season only - i'm kinda becoming a colour 'nomad' - these days I'm still enjoying playing around with the 'Toned Winter' palette, whats next? Only time will tell, but in the meantime, I'm going to enjoy as many 'colour discoveries' as I can! Thanks again!!!
Hi You look great with short hair! I saw that you love the Chanel Baroque lipstick and I cant get my hands on one. Can you recommend a good dupe? Theresa
Thanks so much Theresa! Baroque is a very unique colour and hard to find a dupe for, I'll have to swatch it next to some colours, but I recall thinking that Bobbi Brown's 'Slopes' was kinda in the same colour family - Slopes is a lipstick, but Bobbi also makes a lipliner called Slopes too - also BB's Raisin lipstick is also a pretty brownish plum shade to check out!!!
