Comprehensive breakdown of each palette

True Winter

Purely Cool Undertones

True Winters have distinctly cool, blue-based undertones. There is absolutely no warmth in your coloring, and you need pure, clear colors to look your best.

High Contrast

There's dramatic contrast between your features. You can handle the most intense color combinations and look stunning in high-impact looks.

Vivid & Pure

You shine in colors that are clear and intensely saturated. Any hint of warmth or mutedness will dull your natural brilliance.

Light Summer

Neutral-Cool Undertones

Light Summers have a predominantly cool undertone with some neutral influences. Your coloring is delicate and requires soft, light shades to look your best.

Light & Delicate

Your features are very light, with low contrast between hair, skin, and eyes. Your best colors are fresh and airy, never heavy or dark.

Ethereal & Youthful

You shine in colors that are gentle and youthful. Bright, overpowering colors can wash you out, while your palette enhances your natural glow.
