Determining your skin tone can be helpful for choosing flattering clothing, makeup, and even hair colors. Here’s how you can figure out your skin tone:
1. Check Your Veins:
- Look at the veins on your wrist in natural light.
- Blue or purple veins indicate a cool undertone.
- Greenish veins suggest a warm undertone.
- If it’s hard to tell whether they’re blue or green, you may have a neutral undertone.
2. How Your Skin Reacts to Sun:
- If your skin burns easily or becomes pink in the sun, you likely have a cool undertone.
- If your skin tans easily and rarely burns, you probably have a warm undertone.
- If you tan somewhat but still burn occasionally, you might have a neutral undertone.
3. Jewelry Test:
- Try on both silver and gold jewelry.
- If silver looks better against your skin, you’re likely cool-toned.
- If gold is more flattering, you’re probably warm-toned.
- If both suit you, your undertone may be neutral.
4. White or Cream Test:
- Hold a piece of white clothing or paper next to your face.
- If your skin looks bright and vibrant next to pure white, you have a cool undertone.
- If you look better next to off-white or cream, you have a warm undertone.
- If both seem fine, you may have a neutral undertone.
5. Natural Hair and Eye Color:
- Cool undertones often come with blue, gray, or green eyes and blonde, black, or ash-brown hair.
- Warm undertones are more common with brown, hazel, or amber eyes and red, strawberry blonde, or warm brunette hair.
- Neutral undertones can blend features of both cool and warm tones.
Once you’ve identified your undertone, you can pick colors and shades that complement your natural complexion!
