LET'S FIND OUT THE BEST COLORS FOR YOUR SKIN TONE.
There are warm colors and there are cool colors.
Each color is powerful in itself but when getting dressed we can use this insight to create a flattering effect that can create the "just right" effect when you take a look at your outfit as a whole.
The skin's undertone is what really decides if we have a warm or cool complexion.
Knowing this can help you choose colors that compliment you.
This is often the reason why you put on a color that you LOVE but for some reason, it brings attention to flaws on your skin or in my case, I tend to look a little bit like I have the stomach flu, when I don't! Hah!
HOW TO TELL IF YOU HAVE A WARM OR COOL UNDERTONE (SHORTCUT).
Check your wrist and take a look at the color of your veins.
Green Veins= WARM UNDERTONE
Blue Veins= COOL UNDERTONE
In Between = NEUTRAL
If you have a warm undertone, wear warm colors to compliment your complexion: (Orangey-Yellow, Oranges, Reds, Redish-Pink)
If you are a cool undertone, wear cool colors to compliment your complexion: (Yellow-Green, Blues, Navy Blues, Purples.)
If you're neutral, wear both as an experiment, then decide which one you like best. Or maybe you're lucky and both look amazing on you.
Consider the color wheel when you pick out what to wear OR use it as a guide while shopping.
ADVANCED TIP:
Cool Undertone can look great wearing a "cool" yellow.
AKA Chartreuse, which is a cool yellow because it has more green (cool) in it than orange (warm.)
Warm Undertone can look great wearing a "warm" yellow.
AKA Golden-yellow, which is a warm yellow because it has more orange (warm) than green (cool).
Of course, there are no hard and fast rules in being creative
and it's fun to break the rules, too!
I hope this was a helpful insight into the power of color
and how to make it work for you not against you.
