Colour Analysis - Winter Palette

 

Winter colouring is all about striking contrast which is reflected in the winter colour palette. An individual with this seasonal palette will have dark or light skin contrasted with dark or ice feature contrast. These contrasts are shown in their dark hair or eye whites. When shopping, winters should look out for true, blue, vivid, sharp, clear and icy garments and accessories. Winters can be easily dressed in pure white and jet black unlike other seasons.

The winter makeup palette has a range of dark, bright and strong colours. As a winter you need to stay clear of beige, camel and cosmetics with yellow tones. These colours will give you a yellow hue making you look washed out.

There are several types of winter complexions however they mainly have dark hair and eyes. Some winters have darks eyes, hair and skin e.g. African or Indian complexions. Others have olive skin, dark hair and eyes e.g. Latino, Asian or Middle East. A rare and stunning look is fair skin, light eyes and black hair e.g. Jennifer Connelly (from the movie A Beautiful Mind)

Winter and summer palettes both have cool colourings. The difference between each season is the intensity of the colour. Winter colours are deep and intense compared to summer’s muted palette. Winter can wear bright vibrants colours as long as it is not influenced by the warmer bright colours of spring.

Famous winter colour people include Salma Hayek, Kristin Davis, Anne Hathaway, Selma Blair, Penelope Cruz, Halle Berry and Catherine Zeta Jones

Color Analysis

Colours affect the way you look. If you wear the right colours your skin will glow and you'll appear bright and alert. However, the wrong colours can make you look pasty and drained (people might ask you if you're tired) and can create false impressions like under-eye circles and even make your teeth look yellowish! Regardless of what colours are in fashion right now there are some shades that look good on you and some that don't.

There is a basic guide to follow if you want to bring out the best in you. The colours of our eyes, skin and hair are placed in one of four seasons - summer, autumn, winter & spring (somtimes you are in between 2 seasons). i'll be posting information on how you can dress for your season.
