What Makes a Bronzer Work for True Winter?
True Winter is one of the three Winter sub-seasons in the 12-season color system. Your coloring is defined by three traits: cool undertone, high and cool saturation, and medium-deep depth. Your bronzer needs to share all three.
Here is what to look for when you shop:
- Undertone: Cool. Look for shades that echo cool berry, true pink, blue-based red, and vivid plum.
- Chroma: High and cool saturation. True Winter needs bronzer that matches your natural clarity level.
- Depth: Medium-deep. Your bronzer should complement your natural depth — not fight it.
