whether you’re bed sheet pale or the colour of black coffee?
Before you end up buying the entire shop or
an outlet make sure you are fully aware of the type of colours that can
highlight your own skin tone. Choosing the wrong colour can make your own
complexion and hair appear dull, while right colours will add spark and pinch
of vibrancy to your look. Let’s look at these simple trickeries that can assist
you in uncovering the right colours that flatter your skin tone, in terms of
clothes, jewellery, make up and most notably your hair colour.

Determining
Your Skin Tone
We all are aware of the fact that there are
varied shades of skin, but we only take into consideration the two undertones.
Easy enough! It’s the shade of undertones that matters, making the process much
easier. Strike straight and turn your handover, palm up, taking an eyeball at
the underside of your wrist. What are the colours of the veins? If they are
blue or purple, you’re cool toned, if green or in a side of yellow, you’re warm
toned. Bang on!

Cool cape: Cool toned women, look absolutely stunning in what we consider
“cool” or neutral colours – white, black, gray, charcoal, navy, royal etc. Think
of all the colours that give you reminisce of water, sea, earth and sky. You
can’t go wrong with these shades, so don’t dwell far too much on this. If you
are looking for metallic shades, gold and silver is your thing.
Warm
wind: Warm toned women look eye-catchy in organic,
earthy colours that highlight their skin tone – cream, sunny yellow, blueberry
violet, orange, brown, dark leafy green, and that shade of red maple leaves
that autumn brings along. Heathery or camel brown and shades of taupe are also in
your treasure. When in doubt, go with them. Rose gold and heaps of yellow will
give your skin tone an edge. Try these too!
Shady
Things: Basic undertones are the best to start
from, but when it comes to intermixing colours and experimentation, keep this
in mind that different shades of colours brings out different crossovers,
either cool or warm. It’s specifically important to consider this colour theory
when you are about to pick your signature colour of lipstick. You can’t afford
to get wrong with your lip colour!
Choosing
Colours That Works for You Skin Tone
Have you ever noticed someone intermixing
two colours that you would never have thought looked great together? That’s
because they took fair chances of understanding their undertone with the help of
colour wheel. Colour mixing is a huge piece of cake for the past so many
decades, so it worth the efforts to understand the formula behind how colours
work off each other. If you consider segregating the colour wheel in half,
you’ll see half of the side is pooled with warm colours and the other half with
cool ones.
Choose a colour on the colour wheel; trace
your finger over that line of colour to its direct opposite. You’ll land
straight to its contrasting colour; one warm and one cool, that’ll pull off any
look if worked symmetrically. For your most blandish look, put the colour that
works best with your skin tone closest to your face and arrange the other
colour further away. For example, choose the warm tone of your earrings,
necklace and camisole, and the complementary tone for your bottom, handbag and
shoes. Cool? Good.

Now, if you want to know the series or
palette of colors that can be put together to bring about that classy look.
Pick another color on the color wheel; now look to the color directly to the
right and to the left of it. These are the original color's equivalent. If it’s
homologous on the color wheel, it will work in your outfit also. Make sure you
stick to your side of skin tone, to bring out those palettes.
OK! That wasn’t so hard. Satisfied are you?
Now go try out these simple mantras that will do wonders in depicting the best
color for your complexion.
