Clear Winter

Clear Winter (also called Bright Winter) is defined by clarity and high contrast. Your coloring can carry vivid color, and muted or dusty shades look flat. Fuchsia, clear red and bright berry make your features look sharp.

  • Dark hair with light or bright skin
  • Clear, bright eyes
  • Very noticeable contrast

Common traits, not rules. Plenty of Clear Winters have none of them.
