Understanding Your Skin Tone & Undertone
Know Your Undertone
Have you ever wondered why some clothes make you feel like a radiant goddess, while others leave you looking, well, meh? It’s all about understanding your skin’s unique language – its tone and undertone.
Skin tone refers to the surface color, ranging from light to deep while undertone is the subtle hue peeking beneath.
There are 3 main categories of undertone. First is the cool tone (pinkish-blue), warm tone (yellowish-peach), and the neutral tone (a blend of both), and knowing what your undertone is knowing how to make your closet and shopping trips shorter simply by choosing the right color combinations. So how do you know your undertone, you may ask.
1st
The Natural Light Test.
Ditch the artificial lights and head outdoors. Look at the veins on your inner wrist – greenish? You’re likely warm. Blueish? Cool tones reign!
2nd
The Jewelry Test.
Gold jewelry complements warm undertones, while silver shines with cool ones. Neutral? Both metals flatter you!
Different Skin Tones
Warm
Bask in the vibrancy of corals, oranges, golden yellows, and rich emeralds. Think Julia Roberts in a fiery red dress!
Cool
Embrace the serenity of blues, purples, pinks with a blueish cast, and cool greens. Imagine Lupita Nyong’o in a stunning cobalt gown.
Neutral
You lucky duck, you can rock both warm and cool hues! Experiment and find what makes your heart sing. Think Rihanna slaying in anything she wears.
