Dark Winter is a beauty type full of drama, contrast, and elegance. Discover the colors, makeup, and style that will highlight its intense character and magnetic appeal.
Dark Winter – intense elegance and depth
The Dark Winter beauty type is a combination of cool radiance and deep tones. The complexion can be porcelain, olive, or dark, but always with a cool undertone. Eyes are most often dark brown, black, or dark green—intense and eye-catching. Hair: black, dark brown, or cool brown, with a clear contrast to the complexion.
You look best in saturated, deep colors: burgundy, ruby red, emerald green, or navy blue. Too-bright and pastel shades rob your beauty of its energy and radiance.
