Lipstick, eyeshadow, and blush shades that enhance your natural coloring
Deep Winter coloring is dark, cool, and dramatic. Your makeup should embrace this depth - deep wine lips, smoky charcoal eyeshadow, and deep plum blush. You have the darkness and coolness to carry intense colors that would overwhelm lighter seasons. The key is keeping everything cool-toned - deep burgundy works, warm rust doesn't.
These lip colors will make your complexion glow and complement your natural undertone.

Hair color guide from ideal shades to colors to avoid
Deep Winters look stunning with dark, cool hair colors - jet black, blue-black, deep espresso, and cool dark brown. Your depth means you can carry very dark hair beautifully. The key is avoiding any warmth - auburn, warm brown, and golden highlights will clash with your cool undertone. Embrace the depth and drama.

Not sure if these makeup colors are right for you? If Deep Winter shades feel "off" when you try them, you may be a different season.
Verify your season with photo analysisDeep Winter is the darkest Winter season - cool, deep, and dramatic. Here's how to identify this season.
Deep Winter is often confused with Deep Autumn. Both have depth, but Deep Winter is cool (cool burgundy, black, pine) while Deep Autumn is warm (warm burgundy, chocolate, olive).
Try a cool burgundy (blue undertone) versus a warm burgundy (brown undertone). Deep Winters look rich and elegant in the cool version. Deep Autumns look better in the warm version.
Deep, rich cool colors - burgundy, deep purple, pine green, midnight navy, charcoal, and black. These colors complement your depth and cool undertone beautifully.
Deep Winter is better suited to deep, rich colors than very bright ones. If you want to add brightness, go for jewel tones like emerald, sapphire, or ruby rather than lighter brights.
Silver, platinum, and gunmetal are your best metals. These cool, sophisticated metals complement your depth. White gold also works well. Avoid yellow gold and copper.
True Winter has the highest contrast and can wear the brightest colors. Deep Winter is more about depth than brightness - you wear dark, rich colors better than very bright ones. If your coloring is more dramatic than dark, you might be True Winter.
