"Winter" girls look bright and can easily create a fatal or extravagant look. In terms of distribution, this color type is second only to Letu, with which it has common features, because both of these color types are referred to as cold. Nevertheless, the basis of the summer type is a gray undertone, while in Winter it is a bright and rich blue that seems to sparkle.

Features of the color type

  • Girls, representing the "winter" type, have an even and rather dense skin. Its shade is brown (with an olive or ash undertone), pinkish or porcelain. There are also "winter" beauties with white-beige or beige skin.
  • Light-skinned "winter" girls practically do not tan, but in the presence of a dark skin tone, a tan is acquired quite easily and lasts for a long time.
  • The blush on the Winter Girl's face is rare. If it does appear, it is represented by a cool pink tint. Freckles on the faces of representatives of this color type often do not exist.
  • "Winter" girls are usually dark-haired, and the shade does not change throughout life. You can meet a Winter woman with black, chestnut or black-brown thick hair. Also, girls of the winter type have plum or ash brown hair. However, occasionally there are fair-haired "winter" girls, whose hair is distinguished by an ashy tint.
  • Gray hair appears quite quickly, while a silvery dusting appears on the hair.
  • Note that the eyes of "winter" girls are always prominent, bright and expressive, because against the background of pure white proteins, the iris is very rich and intense. Its shade is deep brown, black or dark brown.There are also girls of this color type with bright blue and blue eyes. Dark gray or icy green eyes are not uncommon.
  • The eyebrows of the Winter girl always have a dark tone, even with light hair.

Varieties

Based on the dominant appearance, the winter color type is divided into:

  1. Cold Winter. This subspecies is also called Real Winter. Its main characteristic is its cold appearance. The color of the hair for such girls is dark brown and black, and a light ash shade is a rarity. Other features of this variety are considered to be an expressive skin tone and light eyes.
  2. Bright Winter. The appearance of representatives of this subtype is called contrasting, since it is distinguished by the presence of bright shining eyes and dark hair, contrasting with the skin tone.
  3. Deep Winter. In girls representing this subspecies, a dark appearance is noted, due to dark hair (brown or black) and dark eyes (black or dark brown). At the same time, the skin is quite expressive and clear.

How to choose a wardrobe?

  • For the basic wardrobe of "winter" girls, it is recommended to choose clothes in brown, purple, blue or gray tones. Good options are called things of cobalt, dark purple, charcoal gray, dark chocolate or anthracite shades.
  • From the green gamut, the Winter girl should take a closer look at the emerald, azure and coniferous green shades, and the red gamut can be presented in her clothes in bright red, ruby, burgundy or red-brown tones.
  • When choosing pastel colors for sundresses, T-shirts, tops and underwear, “winter” girls are recommended to use icy tones of white, pink, lavender, blue or mint. A good choice is the use of gray-beige and white-sand shades.
  • Bright shades will help the representatives of the winter type to enhance the natural contrast of their appearance and the play of the eyes. The Winter Girl can safely choose clothes of purple, turquoise, lemon, lilac or juicy green. A good option is called shades of fuchsia, ultramarine and indigo.
  • In the wardrobe of the Winter Girl, pure black and absolutely white are appropriate. They can be worn alone, combined with each other, or combined with other rich colors.
  • From warm, muted and washed out shades "winter" women are advised to refuse. In clothes of mustard, brick, honey, apricot and similar colors, the appearance of the Winter girl will be lost and will look painful.
  • The fabric for “winter” women’s clothing is either smooth or textured. It must hold its shape well, and overly soft materials are considered unsuitable. An ideal choice would be iridescent, shiny and other expensive fabrics, for example, organza, silk, satin, velvet. On the Winter girl, outfits made of patent leather, hard cotton, brocade, wool and lace look great. In addition, dark fur products are perfect for this color type.
  • As for the pattern on the clothes of the "winter" girl, expressive, bright and dynamic patterns of a cold palette are preferable. The best choice will be clear lines, strict stripes, check print, "houndstooth", abstract and futuristic motives. Animal prints look perfect on the Winter girl, but romantic, delicate and unnecessarily small drawings should be avoided by representatives of the "winter" type.
  • Choose jewelry that is shiny, sparkling and sparkling, while their color scheme should be cool. The classic version is white and black pearls.Of the stones, the best choice is called diamond, turquoise, onyx, sapphires, garnet. Silver jewelry looks great, and gold for the Winter girl needs to be selected in white or lemon shades. If a girl of the winter color type wants to use jewelry, she can be advised of products made of glass beads or beads, as well as jewelry with rhinestones.
  • Shiny, dense leather is said to be the best choice for the bags and shoes of the "winter" girl. Look for products made from patent leather, as well as from exotic types of such material. At the same time, instead of suede, it is recommended to prefer nubuck accessories. As for the colors, the best option would be black or dark gray shoes. In addition, accessories can be of a bright shade, but products made of thin and matte leather are unsuitable for the winter color type.

Should you change your natural hair color?

Almost all representatives of the "winter" color type like the shade of their hair, and stylists do not advise them to repaint, especially in reddish tones. Lightening individual strands would also be an unfortunate choice.

If the Winter girl nevertheless intends to change her hair color, let it be a monochrome paint based on blue. In general, the color should not be very different from the natural one.

Makeup subtleties to complete the look

  • For the makeup of the eyes of the Winter girl, a dark range is recommended. The use of false eyelashes, smoky makeup, and eyeliner is called an effective and successful choice.
  • You can paint lips for women of this color type with lipstick in a juicy and bright shade. Lipstick in dark purple, deep red or purple-pink tones will look perfect.

It is quite difficult to determine the color type itself. Better to turn to professionals. You have very good advice on colors!

Monica Bellucci - what a beauty she is! I am glad that I am, like her, towards Winter.

I used to think that being Winter means having a "cold" and unfriendly appearance. But it turns out that it means to have a contrasting and bright appearance! The name is cold, but it emphasizes that the winter girl is the most "noticeable" of all the representatives of color types. Rather, I am referring to the cold winter.

For a very long time I did not know that I belong to winter. Until three years ago I was not dyed, but not in the tone of my hair color, but a little darker. Super it turned out! Finally, the hairdresser was in my color. And everything played differently, both clothes and makeup.

For a long time, I also didn’t know that I belonged to winter. I bleached my dark hair, and one day I got sick, I couldn't leave the house, I couldn't look at myself in the mirror either, and asked my son to bring black paint from the store. Apparently I was in such a mood that for the first time I dyed it black to match the color of the roots, and suddenly changed so that I realized that it was mine! Since then, I have been in a bright contrasting winter, and I am comfortable in this look.

Very interesting site! a lot of useful tips

Long ago identified itself as winter. Intuitively, since my youth, I have chosen exactly those colors in clothes and in makeup, which are described in this article. Even silver will never be exchanged for any gold. Almost black-haired with blue eyes, and yes, she began to turn gray early, but I constantly paint the roots in my natural color and I like the reflection in the mirror. I read the article and nod in agreement at almost every word ...

I agree with Elena completely, also all my life - winter, in childhood - "pale winter", with age "my winter" began to acquire more and more bright, contrasting shades) And now I understand why I love these particular colors in clothes, which are described in article. And I also understood why I always loved silver so much ...)

The article is detailed and interesting. I learned something for myself.

Very interesting article. It turns out that I am winter, dark-skinned, black-eyed, with dark brown, almost black hair. Now I am 65 years old, there is practically no gray hair. In general, I stopped dyeing my hair, sometimes I did highlighting, but now I like everything, my hair is not very thick, but it’s like that all my life - mine, alive. The colors of the clothes are also successful, it turns out, I choose. Intuition does not fail. It is not in vain that nature gives everyone its own and it is not necessary to spoil it with different chemistry, it is better to take care of what is.
