True Winter
True Winter (also called Cool Winter) is defined by a cool undertone with high contrast. Blue-based, saturated color looks sharp and clean on you, and warm earthy colors tend to make the skin look sallow.
- Dark hair, often cool or ash-toned
- Dark or icy clear eyes
- Skin with a cool or neutral-cool undertone
Common traits, not rules. Plenty of True Winters have none of them.
