Do you have warm or cold skin??

Knowing if your skin tone is warm or cold is very useful. Wearing the correct colors in makeup and clothing will make your skin appear radiant and glowing, your eyes will be brighter and your hair will reflect highlights.

These are several tests you can do to find out your skin tone, they have to be done in natural lighting.

1.       Look at the veins on your wrists.

 Do they look blue or green? If they look blue you have cool skin tone, if they look green then you have warm skin tone. Preferably please do this in natural lighting to get accurate colors.

2.       White or off-white? Black or brown?

Take a piece of fabric. If you look better in white and black, you are cool-toned. If you look better in brown and off-white, you are warm-toned. 

3.       What colors do you like to wear?

If you have cool skin tone, then you will like to wear: grey, blue, rosy pink, fuscia, lilac, purple, burgundy, emerald green, black and white. These are called the jewel tones.

If you have warm skin tone, then you tend to prefer colors with yellow undertones (earthy colors ): gold, yellow, orange, brick red, beige, khaky, and  ivory.

4.       Jewelry test.

Does gold or silver look better on you? If you prefer silver, then you have cold skin tone and if you love gold then you have warm skin tone.

5.       Natural hair and eye color.
