Makeup Choices for Your Skin Tone





Choosing makeup by skin tone is important. The first thing you need to do is figure out if your tones are cool or warm.

Cool skin tones have blue and pink undertones. Those with cool skin tend to have blue or gray eyes and look best in silver jewelry and colors such as blue, red, purple and pink. They also tend to have lighter hair and burn before tanning.

Warm skin tones have gold or peachy undertones. Those with warm skin tones usually have green, hazel or brown eyes. They look best in gold jewelry and earthy colors such as orange, yellow and brown. Dark hair, and an ability to tan without first burning, are common traits to those with warm skin tones.

Once you know whether you are cool-toned or warm-toned, you can pick makeup colors that look good on your.

Flattering cool makeup shades include: Aqua, baby blue, royal blue, green, rose, pink, purple, violet, plum, lavender, berry, burgundy, wine, blue red, true red and silver.
