Are you a Bright Winter?

Bright Winters often have:

  • Clear skin with striking contrast against dark hair
  • Dark brown or black hair
  • Bright, clear eyes: blue, green, violet or sparkling brown

These are common traits, not rules: any skin tone can be any season. The surest way is a daylight selfie.
