Description
Before we dive into what colors go with your skin tone, it's important to understand the different skin tones out there. There are three main skin tones: warm, cool, and neutral.
- Warm skin tones have yellow, peach, or golden undertones.
- Cool skin tones have pink, red, or blue undertones.
- Neutral skin tones have a combination of both warm and cool undertones.
Once you determine your skin tone, you can start to choose colors that complement it and enhance your overall appearance.
How To Determine Your Skin Tone
There are a few ways to determine your skin tone:
- Look at the veins on your wrist. If they appear green, you have warm undertones. If they appear blue or purple, you have cool undertones. If you can't tell, you likely have neutral undertones.
- Try on jewelry. Gold jewelry tends to look better on warm skin tones, while silver jewelry looks better on cool skin tones.
- Pay attention to how your skin reacts to the sun. If you burn easily, you likely have cool undertones. If you tan easily, you likely have warm undertones.
Step-by-Step Guide
Now that you know your skin tone, here's a step-by-step guide on how to choose colors:
- Choose colors that complement your skin tone. For warm skin tones, look for colors like red, orange, and yellow. For cool skin tones, look for colors like blue, green, and purple. For neutral skin tones, look for colors that have a mix of warm and cool tones.
- Consider the intensity of the color. For example, a bright red may look better on a cool skin tone, while a muted red may look better on a warm skin tone.
- Think about the occasion. Bright colors may be more appropriate for casual events, while muted colors may be better for formal events.
- Experiment with different shades. Just because a certain shade of green looks good on one person with a cool skin tone doesn't mean it will look good on another person with a cool skin tone.
Tips for Choosing Colors
Here are some additional tips for choosing colors:
- Don't be afraid to mix and match colors. Just make sure they complement each other.
- Consider the colors in your wardrobe. If you have a lot of cool colors, you may want to add some warm colors to balance it out.
- When in doubt, go for neutral colors like black, white, and gray.
- Don't forget about accessories. A pop of color in a tie, pocket square, or watch can make a big difference.
