True Winter Guide

Hey Gorgeous! 💖

Let’s talk about True Winter, the coolest and most striking of all the winter seasons. If you’re a True Winter, your natural coloring is cool, deep, and vibrant, like a dazzling snowy landscape under a bright blue sky. Your best colors are bold, icy, and high-contrast, never too warm or muted. Ready to find out what makes your palette special? Let’s dive in!

General Rules

True Winter is all about coolness, contrast, and bold clarity. Your dominant trait is coolness, meaning your best colors have a blue or cool undertone, with no warmth whatsoever.

Undertone: Cool and crisp—your colors should always have a blue, violet, or icy base.
Chroma: Bright and pure. Your colors are vivid and saturated, without any muted or earthy tones.
Value: Medium to deep. You shine in bold, high-contrast shades that stand out beautifully against your striking features.

How to Apply This

Stick to clear, cool colors—think icy blues, bright fuchsias, and pure whites.
Avoid warm, muted, or earthy tones—they can dull your natural radiance.
Contrast is your best friend: Pairing light and dark colors together will enhance your features.
Shopping tip: If a color makes your skin look bright and vibrant rather than yellowish or dull, it’s a winner!

Clothing

Combinations: True Winter thrives on high contrast—pair deep colors with light ones, like black with icy white or sapphire blue with bright fuchsia.
Fabrics: Opt for sleek, structured fabrics like satin, silk, and crisp cotton to enhance your polished look.
Patterns: Geometric prints, bold color-blocking, and classic stripes work beautifully—just avoid anything too earthy or faded.

Pro tip: True neutrals like black, pure white, and deep gray make excellent wardrobe staples for layering with your bold shades!

Makeup

Striking Eyes: Eyeshadows in cool charcoals, icy blues, and deep plums will make your eyes pop.
Flushed Cheeks: Blush in cool pinks, berry tones, or deep rose will enhance your natural coolness.
Bold Lips: Stick to statement lip colors like deep berry, bold fuchsia, or cool red.
Flawless Skin: A foundation with cool undertones and a matte or satin finish will keep your complexion looking radiant.

Hair

Deep, Cool Tones: Your best hair colors include cool black, espresso brown, and deep plum.
High-Contrast Highlights: Consider icy blonde or cool blue-toned highlights for added drama.
Avoid Warm Shades: Stay away from golden blonde, warm caramel, or any brassy hues.

Accessories

Cool Metals: Silver, platinum, and white gold are your go-to choices.
Bold Accents: Think sapphire earrings, a deep fuchsia handbag, or a crisp white scarf.
Avoid Warm or Muted Accessories: Gold, bronze, or anything with a warm undertone can clash with your cool, high-contrast look.

Sister Seasons

True Winter’s closest matches are Bright Winter and Deep Winter—here’s when you can borrow from them!

Bright Winter: This season shares your coolness but leans even more vibrant. If you love extra bold colors, you can borrow Bright Winter’s brightest shades, but avoid anything too warm.
Deep Winter: This season shares your depth but is slightly more muted. If you need softer options, you can borrow Deep Winter’s richest colors, but skip anything that dulls your contrast.

Remember: Coolness is your #1 priority! Even when borrowing from sister seasons, stick to shades that feel crisp, bold, and ice-cold.
