How to Determine Your Skin Tone
Often, we are asked to know our skin tone. But, how do we know what tone our skin is? Try this:
Using natural light from the sun, (standing in front of a window), make a fist and look at your inner wrist. What color are your veins of your inner wrist? Signs of cool color toned skin are veins that are mainly blue, while mainly green toned veins are signs of a warm color toned skin. If your veins are a mix of blue and green, then this is a sign of a neutral toned skin.
Cool Toned Skin:
- Your eyes are usually blue or blue/gray and your natural hair color is Blonde, Brown, or Black.
- Wrist veins, in natural light, will appear blue and your skin will have definite pinkish or blue undertones.
- You burn easily in the sun, or burn, then turn tan.
- You look best in silver jewelry
Warm Toned Skin:
- Your eyes are usually Brown, Green, or Hazel.
- Wrist veins, in natural light, will appear green, and your skin will have yellow, peach, or olive undertones.
- You usually tan without a burn in the sun.
- You look best in gold jewelry
