Palette Mystery Solved - Deep Winter!!!
I'm kind of in 'Wowzers' mode right now - In my last post I made the observation that the natural colour harmony of my eyes, skin, lips are neutral in appearance, possibly Soft Summer, but that there is a depth also. WHen I played around with the soft summer palette in the past, the same issue came up - the neutral cool shades were great, but the shades were slightly too muted - I needed some contrast and some depth. I have been playing around with the Deep Winter palette now for a while and really feel comfortable in this palette. I know that many of you still like the autumn shades on me, which is also interesting since deep winter is a winter that verges into autumn, so those rust, tomato red, olive, gold and chocolate brown tones are still in my palette. WHen I looked at the deep winter palette, I started to see some striking similarities to the recent colour harmony collage that I created, check it out:
Here is the same collage but with some deep winter makeup looks - I think that I have yet to find/create a natural deep winter makeup look - so far I've been obsessed with the deep, deep reds, which are uber chic and dramatic!
Stay tuned for more deep winter looks as I explore this season even more!!!

I think this is more a case of wishful thinking. Winter colors look too heavy on you, like you're wearing a mask, and the collage's colors match more a soft palette.
Thank you for writing and for your feedback - I haven't 'completely' eliminated the idea of 'soft' but there is just something missing from the soft palettes that just don't work - i'm having a tough time with this one, but I adore the DW palette - perhaps it is wishful thinking like you said, but I'm in love with this palette for now - for me it just fits the best.........for now - lol
Actually, you just gave me an idea - I'm going to try some soft autumn shades next to the original collage and then compare SA and DW!!!
I guessed before you I read this that you would be a deep soft winter. But I can't say for sure. All I know is that you are definitely a deep and you have the soft quality it. Which a I said would lend itself to a deep soft winter or deep soft autumn. I think that you should play around with those two palettes and see if your coloring tends more cool to winter or warm to autumn. It might even be a little fun. What do you think?
Thats a great idea, I haven't really given the deep soft autumn a change, although I do tend to suit blush shades that lean more towards peach than to pink? Great idea - thanks so much!!!
