When choosing what to wear, many people don’t necessarily know which colors look better on them. And yet, you should know what you’re dealing with when it comes to your skin tone since an unflattering hue can make you look insipid. By the way, to determine which colors look best on you, you need to know which undertone you are cold, warm or neutral undertone.  

1. COOL-TONED SKIN

How to determine if you have cool undertones? 

Look at the color of your veins. If you can see your veins and your skin is light, your veins may be blue. People with blue or purplish-looking veins usually have cooler undertones. 

Loot at your jewelry. Most people like wearing either silver or gold jewelry because of the way it looks against their skin. If you think silver, platinum, and rose gold look good on you and flatter your skin tone, you may have a cool undertone.  

Look at your skin’s reaction to sun. Knowing how your skin reacts to the sun can help determine your undertone. If you have a cool undertone, you’re likely to sunburn easily and might need to apply sunscreen more often.  

Which colors look best on cool-toned skin? 

Your cool undertones are well suited to shades like: cool grays, crisp whites, and sea shade, bright blues, emeralds, turquoise, berry red, deep purple, pink.  

2. WARM-TONED SKIN

How to determine if you have warm undertones? 

Look at the color of your veins. If your veins are green, you may have warm undertones. It exists another undertone: olive undertone. It is a unique undertone that a few people have. If your skin appears more ashen or gray, then you could have a natural olive tone. Also, olive skin has both natural and warm undertones along with green.  

Loot at your jewelry. If you think yellow golden look good on you and flatter your skin tone, you may have a warm undertone.  

Look at your skin’s reaction to sun. If you tan but seem to never get burned, then you may have warm undertones.  

Which colors look best on warm-toned skin? 

Your warm undertones are well suited to shades like: peach orange, coral, amber, gold, taupe, olive greens, yellow, red and off-white. 

3. NEUTRAL-TONED SKIN

How to determine if you have neutral undertones? 

Look at the color of your veins. If you can’t see your veins, it means they might appear colorless or match the color of your skin. You may have a neutral undertone.  

Loot at your jewelry. If you think you look good in both silver and gold, you may have a neutral undertone.  

Look at your skin’s reaction to sun. If your skin can burn in the sun or not, then you have a neutral undertone. 

Which colors look best on neutral-toned skin? 

You’re lucky! Your neutral undertones are well suited to a variety of colors. However, avoid things that are too neon and be careful with bright colors.
