How to Pick the Right Colors for Your Wardrobe

Step 1: Figure Out Your Skin Tone

Before choosing your ideal colors, you will need to uncover your skin’s hidden undertones: cool, warm, or neutral. Your undertone is not defined by how light or dark your skin appears, but by the subtle shade beneath the surface that remains consistent, even when you are tan or your skin tone changes slightly. Understanding your undertone makes it easier to choose clothes, makeup, and accessories that naturally enhance your complexion and bring out your glow.

The Vein Test 

Take a quick glance at the veins on your wrist in natural daylight.

Blue or purple veins? You likely have cool undertones.

Greenish veins? Your undertones are probably warm.

Can’t decide or see both? You might be neutral

The Jewelry Trick 

Which metal makes your skin light up?

Silver enhances your glow? Cool undertones.

Gold makes you shine? Warm undertones.

Both look equally great? Lucky you are neutral.

The White Fabric Check 

Hold up a white cloth near your face, make sure no makeup is on your face.

If your skin looks bright and fresh, you have cool tone.

If it brings out a golden or peachy glow, you are warm.

If white just looks okay. You are likely Neutral.

Step 2: Choose Colors That Make You Glow

Now that you have discovered your undertone, let's find your perfect shades. These colors will enhance your natural radiance and make your complexion come alive. Not every color looks flattering on everyone. The same shade that makes one person glow might make another look dull or tired. That is why finding the right colors for your unique skin tone and features is so important as it helps you look naturally radiant and confident.

If You Have Cool Undertones:

Your skin shines in colors with blue or pink bases. These jewel tones and icy shades will brighten your face:

• Rich emerald green

• Deep ruby red

• Vibrant sapphire blue

• Soft rose pink

• Elegant lavender

• Crisp cool grays

• Icy blue tones

• Classic black and pure white

If You Have Warm Undertones:

Golden, peachy, and earthy shades will make your skin glow with health:

• Warm mustard yellow

• Olive green

• Rusty orange-red

• Soft peach

• Vibrant coral

• Creamy off-whites

• Rich bronze and terracotta

If You're Neutral:

You have hit the color jackpot! Most shades will work for you, but these balanced tones are perfect for you.

• Blush pink

• Jade green

• Teal (that perfect blue-green mix)

• Dusty blue

• Soft white

• Versatile taupe

Step 3: Try the Mirror Trick

Don't have time for test? Don't worry there is a quick mirror test. You just have to stand in front of the mirror in a natural light. Hold a colored piece of clothing near your face and observe how your skin reflects. If your skin looks brighter, more awake, glowing this means it's a perfect color for you. However, if your skin looks dull, tired, shadowy this indicates that its not your shade. If you are still confused, try taking a photo and comparing two colors side by side, you will see the difference clearly.
