Jewel tones, which tend to work well on people with cool skin tones.
Cool skin tone refers to a skin type with a bluish undertone. People typically fall into one of two skin type categories: cool or warm skin tone. Determining a person’s skin tone will allow them to learn what types of colors look best on them, for the purposes of hair color, makeup, jewelry, and clothing. Cooler skin tones tend to have blue undertones, while warmer skin tones have yellow undertones.
People with a cool skin tone tend to look better in silver jewelry.
There are a few different ways to determine your skin tone. The first thing is to turn your wrist and look at the veins there. If the veins appear blue, the skin tone is cool. If they have a greenish tint, your skin tone is warm. Another option is to hold a white towel or shirt under your face; if the face reflects yellow, it is a warm skin tone, and if the face appears blue, it is a cool skin tone. Finally, people with cooler skin tones may have lighter eyes than those with warmer skin tones, but this is not always the case.
People with fair skin and blue eyes tend to have cool skin tones.
Those with a cool skin tone tend to look better in silver jewelry. They may also wear sharper colors closer to the face, such as black or pure white, while someone with warmer skin usually doesn’t look great wearing pure white. Cool skin tones tend to look good in “jewel” tones and also in brighter colors, both in clothing and cosmetics. People with warm undertones generally look best in gold and earth tone jewelry. The foundation for a cool skin tone should have a pink base.
Whether your skin tone is warm or cool, it plays an important role in choosing the best makeup colors.
The ability to recognize the undertone of any color and match it to your skin tone is a great skill to have and will ensure a wardrobe full of flattering pieces. Hair color is similar, and in general, people will look better with a hair color that is closer to what they were born with, at least one toned down. A hairdresser must know which hair colors are cool and warm; This is especially important for blending, because a hair color that doesn’t flatter your skin tone can look gray and give your skin a pale, unhealthy, and unnatural appearance.
Deeper colors tend to be more flattering on fair-skinned people.
Some people are lucky enough to have a somewhat neutral skin tone and can look good in most colors. However, this is very rare. In general, it’s best to determine your skin tone as soon as possible, as this will make shopping for fancy clothes, jewelry, and makeup much easier.
