One thing worth saying
- People often assume Deep Winters must have porcelain skin and jet-black hair. In practice—especially when analysing clients from East Asian, South Asian, African, Middle Eastern, Hispanic, Latina and mixed-heritage backgrounds—you'll find many Deep Winters with medium to deep skin tones and naturally very dark brown eyes. The defining characteristics are deep value, cool-neutral undertones, crisp clarity and strong contrast.
