Colour Guide : Winter (Cool tones)

Winter faceWinter skin is clear and bright with cool undertones

The winter complexion can swing from light to dark but has no high colour or warmth. Winters have rose-pink tones.  A Winter person suits black and is the only type able to wear it without suffering dark shadows under the eyes or around the chin area

Winter personalities are deep and introverted.  Cool, dramatic colours suit both complexion and character.  While vibrant colours may appeal, avoid extrovert shades such as brightest fuchsia

 

Hair:

Choose light or dark tones to contrast with skin.  Go for ash tones or black with no warmth

More Winter Shades:

The Winter palette is made up of cool, blue-based colours that are clear, rich and vibrant and dark to light in intensity.  Winter colours are contrasting.  In low winter light, colours appear darker but in the harsh winter sunshine, colours are stark and icy.  Block colours look good on Winters in smooth textured fabrics.  Black, navy, white, grey-tinged beige, wine and pine green are your colours of choice
