It's not random. It's color theory applied to your unique skin tone.
Step 1: Determine Your Undertone
Your undertone is the subtle color beneath your skin's surface. There are three types:
Warm undertone: Your veins appear greenish. Gold jewelry looks better than silver. You tan easily.
Cool undertone: Your veins appear blue or purple. Silver jewelry looks better than gold. You burn easily.
Neutral undertone: Your veins appear blue-green. Both gold and silver look good. Lucky you.
Best Colors for Warm Undertones
You look amazing in earth tones and warm hues:
• Reds: Tomato red, coral, warm red • Oranges: Peach, burnt orange, terracotta • Yellows: Mustard, golden yellow, warm cream • Greens: Olive, moss, warm sage • Browns: Caramel, chocolate, tan • Neutrals: Cream, warm beige, off-white
Avoid: Icy pastels, blue-based reds, stark white
Best Colors for Cool Undertones
You shine in jewel tones and cool hues:
• Blues: Navy, cobalt, powder blue, royal blue • Purples: Lavender, plum, violet, mauve • Pinks: Rose, fuchsia, raspberry, blush • Greens: Emerald, teal, mint • Reds: Berry, burgundy, wine, cherry • Neutrals: True white, charcoal, blue-gray
Avoid: Orange, warm yellow, rust, tomato red
Best Colors for Neutral Undertones
You can pull off almost anything, but you look exceptional in:
• Dusty colors: Dusty rose, sage, muted teal • Mid-tones: Medium blues, soft greens, true red • Jade green, soft white, blush pink
The Black Test
Black looks amazing on cool undertones but can wash out warm undertones. If black feels too harsh on you, try charcoal or dark navy instead.
