Do you know whether or not you’ve got cool or warm skin undertones? Read on for info about how to tell and find out which colours might suit your skin tone best. It could change how you shop for clothing and for cosmetics.

Has anyone ever said, “That colour looks great on you! You should wear it more often!” You should pay attention to these types of comments. If you check the colour you’ll usually find that it suits your skin undertone. The opposite can also be true. While others won’t necessarily tell you that you look tired or washed out, or that your makeup colours don’t suit you, you can often feel like you don’t look your best.

Another scenario is that you’ve worn the same colours for years and never tried anything new. If this sounds like you, why not try something new? Learning about what might look best on you, according to your skin undertone, can help you update your look to something that you will feel good about. You might be surprised to find out that a whole family of colours that you’ve never even considered makes you look healthy and vibrant.

Your skin tone is important in choosing colours for your hair and it’s especially important in choosing cosmetics. The wrong colour won’t complement your best features. Colours of your foundation, blush, lip colour, and other face colours are something to consider based on the skin undertone. Some people are neutral but most lean in one direction or the other.

Warm or Cool Skin Undertone?

How do you tell where your skin falls? Look at the inside of your wrist and check the colouring. If the colouring is bluish you’re cool toned. If it’s greenish, you’re warm toned. Do you look better with silver jewelry? If so, you’re likely more suited to cool colours and if you look better in gold, you might be more suited to warm tones.

The wrong colours just won’t suit you as well and while they might not look terrible on you, they won’t optimise your overall look. A mistake many women make when choosing colours is with their foundation. Most women wear foundation that’s far too light. The wrong colour of mascara or eye shadow won’t do any favours, either.
