Deep winter skin tone is characterized by a wide range of skin colors, ranging from fair to deep, with neutral or neutral-cool undertones. The skin tends to be cool and has a high contrast with hair and eyes. When choosing skincare products, it is important to avoid formulas and ingredients that are naturally drying, such as parabens, artificial dyes, fragrances, phthalates, and polyethylene glycol. Instead, seek out ingredients that help the skin retain moisture, such as glycerin, ceramides, and hyaluronic acid.
Regarding product details, it is recommended to choose lightweight materials like linen, cotton, or silk in deep winter colors. Softly polished to very brilliant gemstones in more antiquated metals can accommodate the depth of the Dark Winter. When considering materials, Dark Winters look best in slightly light reflective options-look into rich velvets, deep leathers, dark snakeskins, and supple suedes.
Positive aspects of deep winter skin tone include the ability to wear both gold and silver, although silver looks better. Dark Winter colors are neutral-cool, so gold may also work for them, but their best metals are cool, like silver and pewter. Deep winter beauty tends to be smoky, sultry, with a moonlike radiance.
Negative aspects of deep winter skin tone include the fact that very warm, earthy colors, such as golden oranges and browns, will make them look unhealthy. Since Dark Winter’s main color aspects are depth and coolness, their worst colors are light and warm.
