Skin Color Tones
Let’s get into things, let’s first break down what warm, cool and neutral color tone is. let’s go over cool tone skin first. What is cool color tone? it doesn’t mean you will have to be cool, though you can have cool skin tone and be really cool, that just makes you double cool. Think of cool tones as stormy weather, so what do you see when you’re seeing a storm happen, you definitely will see a lot of blues, a lot of purples grays, you will see all those kinds of cold colors, okay that is cool tones, and then the opposite of cool would be warm right? so warm, sunny day, I mean that’s pretty simple. You can think of a summer day, what you see as you look at the sun is a yellow sun reflect, orange, all those warm colors that just make you want to like, live your best life. Also think of a fire, even though that’s not in the summer weather but fire is warm, it keeps you warm, which even makes some people say that the same colors that make you feel warm represent what warm is.
Now let’s talk about neutral. It’s even simpler than Warm or Cool, because if you already know what those two are then you know what neutral is. it’s a combination of both cool and warm, so when you think of neutral you can think of kind of fall weather because you see the leaves that are all red and orange and yellows and then you see the sky which can sometimes be cloudy, gray, purples and blues. they’re all coexisting and it makes one big storm of neutral.
So now that we have that quite basic understanding of what cool, warm and neutral color is, let’s figure out what your skin tone is, first let’s do some few tricks to kind of figure this out, this is just some fun stuff you can do at home to look at your own body and figure out which color tone you belong to, but we will go through a lot of different ways. So just to start off, we will talk about using your veins, because veins have to do with some evidence, it sort of has some stuff to do with this. So, if you look at your wrist right where the veins are, looking really close at your veins, you will see the color of your veins vaguely if you have blue or purple veins, you most likely have cool skin.
If you have green or olive veins, you’re most likely having a warm tone, and if you have blue or green, you could still be on that sliding scale of neutral.
There’s no real way of seeing if you have neutral skin tone with your veins because that would be like a combination of both and usually our veins are not a combination of two different colors.
Well, the next question is, does gold jewelry or silver jewelry look better on you? Do you usually find yourself leaning towards one or the other? silver jewelry is cool whereas gold jewelry is warm. so, if silver looks good on you and you have blue veins, you probably got some cool skin, and vice versa if you have green veins and you like gold a lot, maybe you are extremely warm, maybe.
Next, you can also look in the mirror at your own skin, and at your face. take a white piece of paper hold it up to your face, does your face look yellow, next to the white piece of paper, or does it look pinker toned next the paper or red? if you look more golden, you are warm, if you look redder and pinker, you’re cooler toned, if you’re seeing a combination of both then it means you are neutral. So those are a few tricks you can use in order to figure out if you’re cool, warm or neutral.
Now that we have so much knowledge about all different skin tones, we have become better at understanding skin tones, what they mean and how to discover which skin tone you have or your friends or family has now. We can now tell you what hair color will best suit you. We have done the hardest part already and his is the absolute easiest part.
