Have you noticed that not every color suits you the same way? That some shades make your eyes stand out, while others highlight skin discoloration or redness? Color analysis has recently become a popular trend, helping us discover which pigments are more prominent in our skin, eyes, and hair. Based on this, we can choose clothing and accessory shades that are more flattering. Want to play with colors and try this approach to styling? Find out if you belong to the winter beauty type and which colors you should consider first.

Cool beauty type: hair and eye colors, complexion

Today we’re taking a closer look at the Winter beauty type – what colors stand out when you look at someone with this complexion? Winters have dark hair and intensely colored irises – brown, hazel, dark blue, gray, or green, but always in cool tones. Their skin is clear, with cool undertones prevailing.

Winter type: color subtypes

To distinguish winter from other color types, you need to consider its three subtypes: dark, cool, and clear.

Dark Winter type – what does it mean?

Dark Winter is characterized by a deep contrast between the skin, hair, and eyes. Hair is dark, often brown or black, eyes are brown, hazel, or dark blue. The skin can range from fair to olive, with a cool undertone.

If you are a cool winter, choose equally cool, muted shades such as snow white, icy blue, pastel pink, silvery gray, lavender, inky navy, and cool red with blue undertones.

Pure Winter type – appearance characteristics

This type is characterized by the highest contrasts among winters. The complexion is fair and clear, the hair is dark, and the irises are striking—most often blue, gray, or sometimes hazel. The overall effect is one of clarity and sharpness.

Pure Winter – the perfect colors for you

For the pure subtype of Winter, saturated, vibrant colors are recommended, such as pure white, pure red, cobalt, lemon yellow, sapphire, malachite green, and black.
