Dark Winter Celebrities

 

Picture
Deep Winter Jaime Murray appears unbalanced here. Her beautiful dark hair is wasted in this look because nothing below the neck echoes its depth. The lovely light blue is wasted because it doesn't call out to anything above the neck. (The color itself could work as a Deep Winter accent if it were surrounded by another much deeper color.)

 

Picture
Here is the beautiful Jaime in similar makeup, but dressed in a shade that appropriately echoes her natural depth of coloring. Now we really notice that gorgeous hair. And our eyes are drawn to the lovely face framed by the balanced colors above and below.



Picture
 As a blonde, Deep Winter Sandra looks flat and false. Her eyes are unremarkable and her face appears colorless.

 

Picture
With her hair restored to its proper Deep Winter shade, Sandra snaps  into focus; her features appear more defined, her eyes grab you, and overall she looks younger and healthier.

So wrong. All that smoldering, passionate depth of color smothered by insipid birthday-cake girliness.
Look at the health and vitality in that skin! Only Winters are brought to life in this way by deep, dark color.
