Deep Winter Guide

Hey Gorgeous! 💖

Let’s talk about Deep Winter, the most intense and dramatic of all the winter seasons. If you’re a Deep Winter, your natural coloring is cool, deep, and bold, like a crisp winter night or the rich hues of a twilight sky. Your best colors are cool, dark, and highly pigmented, never too warm or muted. Ready to unlock your perfect shades? Let’s go!

General Rules

Deep Winter is all about depth, coolness, and intensity. Your dominant trait is depth, meaning your best colors are dark, vibrant, and strongly pigmented while staying cool-toned.

Undertone: Cool and icy—your colors should always have a blue, violet, or true neutral base.
Chroma: Rich and strong. Your colors are bold but not overly bright.
Value: Medium to deep. Deep Winter shines in high-contrast, striking shades that enhance its natural intensity.

How to Apply This

Stick to cool, deep colors—think midnight blues, deep plums, and intense jewel tones.
Avoid warm, earthy, or overly light shades—they can dull your natural glow.
High contrast is key: Deep Winter looks stunning in bold, dramatic color pairings.
Shopping tip: If a color enhances your depth and coolness, it’s a winner!

Clothing

Combinations: Your best outfits mix deep, cool tones with high-contrast neutrals—think jet black with sapphire blue or deep cranberry with charcoal gray.
Fabrics: Sleek, structured materials like wool, satin, and leather enhance your dramatic coloring.
Patterns: Bold geometrics, sharp contrasts, and cool-toned florals work beautifully—just avoid anything too warm or earthy.

Pro tip: Deep neutrals like black, charcoal, and navy are your wardrobe essentials!

Makeup

Striking Eyes: Use eyeshadows in cool charcoal, icy plum, and deep navy to enhance your features.
Defined Cheeks: Blush in cool berry, deep rose, or plum to complement your rich depth.
Power Lips: Stick to bold cool reds, deep cranberries, and icy pinks for a statement look.
Flawless Skin: A foundation with cool undertones and a satin or matte finish will enhance your features.

Hair

Deep, Cool Tones: Your best hair colors include jet black, espresso brown, and deep cool aubergine.
Subtle Highlights: Blue-black or cool violet undertones add dimension without looking warm.
Avoid Warm Shades: Stay away from golden blondes, auburn, or warm caramel that can clash with your coolness.

Accessories

Cool Metals: Silver, platinum, and white gold complement your icy undertones.
Bold Accents: Dark teal scarves, sapphire earrings, and structured black handbags complete your look.
Avoid Warm or Light Accessories: Gold, tan, and muted earthy tones can wash you out.

Sister Seasons
