One thing worth saying

  • People often describe Clear Winters as having fair skin, black hair and vivid blue eyes. In practice—especially when analysing clients from East Asian, South Asian, African, Middle Eastern, Hispanic, Latina and mixed-heritage backgrounds—you'll find many Clear Winters with medium to deep skin tones and naturally dark brown eyes. What identifies the palette is exceptional clarity, cool undertones and naturally high contrast.
