Deep Winter 🍷

Dark, dramatic, and cool as midnight.

Deep Winter is drama with a cool, polished finish. Your coloring is deep and cool-leaning, with strong contrast between your features. Skin can range from cool beige to deep cool brown or rich ebony, often with a neutral or blue undertone. Hair is usually dark brown, black-brown or blue-black, and eyes tend to be deep brown, black-brown or dark cool hazel, sometimes with very bright whites around them. You look powerful in deep, cool shades like black cherry, wine, plum and deep berry. Warm, earthy tones and soft pastels can look muddy or faded on you, while rich jewel tones make you look sharp and luminous.

Best blush for Deep Winter

Rich, cool blushes are your best match: deep berry, plum, cool raspberry and wine rose. Highly pigmented formulas show up best, and a little goes a long way with these depths. Satin and matte finishes look polished, while a cool-toned highlight adds dimension. Peach and orange blushes can look muddy on cool skin. Blend along the cheekbones and slightly up for a sculpted, sophisticated finish that still reads as a flush.

Best lip colors for Deep Winter

Your lips come alive in deep, cool shades: black cherry, wine, plum, deep berry and cool raspberry. A cool rosy-brown nude makes an easy daytime option. Matte and satin finishes look striking, and a deep berry liner sharpens the shape. Avoid orange, peach and golden nudes. Your best red is a deep blue-based red or blackened cherry, rich and dramatic without a hint of orange anywhere in sight.
