If you’re looking for a new way to up your style game, why not try dressing to compliment your skin undertone? There are three types of skin undertones a person can have: warm, cool or neutral. Dressing to compliment your undertone can turn an ordinary outfit into an extraordinary one with little effort! In this mini guide we’re going to teach you the difference between the two major skin tones and how you can easily discover which one you are. Once you’ve uncovered your skin undertone, we’re going to share with you some budget-friendly tips, like this amazing Shein coupon code, that will allow you to save on trendy pieces and highlight your beautiful, natural skin!
Uncover your Skin Undertone
First we’ve got to clear up a big misconception – your skin tone and skin undertone are not the same thing! People often get a little confused about the difference between the two. Your skin tone is the actual color of your skin while your skin undertone is the color or tone under your skin. While you can’t actually see your skin undertone it’s responsible for the color of your skin!
Did you know that the best way to discover your skin tone is actually by looking at the color of the veins on your wrist?
Examine the veins on your wrist under a bright light. If they appear to be…
- Greenish: You have warm undertones.
- Blue-purplish: You have cool undertones.
- Hard to see: You have neutral undertones.
Uncovering your skin tone is important when choosing the correct color of clothing, jewelry, foundation and any other cosmetic product!
Warm Tones
For all you warm-toned fashionistas, stick to bright colors and earth tones that will beautifully compliment that warm skin tone of yours!
- Focus on gold jewelry. A brand like Shein is offering 20% off summer jewelry styles that will enhance the natural undertones of your skin.
- Choose warm colors like red, yellow and orange.
- If you want to incorporate some cooler colors into your wardrobe, stick to neutral colors such as cream, beige, and mushroom gray.
- Avoid black! While warm-toned skin looks great in many colors, black isn’t the most flattering for warm-toned people.
Cool Tones
Styling cool-toned skin is all about choosing pieces that will contrast beautifully with the lighter and pale undertones in your skin:
- Choose silver or platinum jewelry rather than gold. You’re in luck since silver is in this season, so invest in a striking silver statement piece like a metallic dress or pair of pants!
- Have fun with deep jewel tones such as emerald, navy, purple!
- Avoid wearing colors like orange, strong yellow and red which tend to clash with cool undertones.
Neutral Tones
When you have neutral undertones to your skin, you really want to figure out whether you fall closer to the warm or cool side of the spectrum. Once you uncover on which side of the spectrum you land, you can simply follow the same advice for either warm or cool undertones!
One easy way to figure it out is to decide if you look better in bright, contrasting shades like black and white, or if you look better in more subtle colors like browns and greens. If black & white suit you, then you’re closer to the cool end of the spectrum. If subtle colors are your match, then your skin has warm undertones.
When you have a neutral undertone, you can get away with almost everything! There are still a few great color tips to follow to maximize your undertone:
- While you can wear most colors, neutral undertones really shine in colors that are neither too bright nor too deep. Think jade, light pink, or robin’s egg blue. Trendy pastel colors from brands like Asos and Boohoo are your friend!
- Since neutral shades tend to be darker, avoid brown which could blend into your skin.
Now that you know what your skin undertone is, consider adding a few new staples to your wardrobe to enhance your skin’s natural glow!
