Are you a True Winter?

True Winters often have:

  • Clearly cool skin, porcelain to deep, often with blue or rosy undertones
  • Dark brown, black or naturally silver hair
  • Cool, clear eyes: icy blue, grey, dark brown or black

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