Skin tone, or skin tone, is completely different from skin color - which has only 3 color groups (white, dark, dark). Skin tone does not change whether you get a lot of sun exposure, or when your skin becomes white in winter and tanned in summer. There are 3 different skin tones - cold, hot, and neutral. Knowing your skin tone is very helpful - it helps you choose the right lipstick color, find the hair color that makes you stand out the most, and choose the color of your outfit to make you look great.

Steps

Method 1 of 6: Determine skin tone

1. 

   Wash your face, then wait 15 minutes. Your skin should be clean and free of makeup, cream or balancing water. The skin also needs to rest for about 15 minutes before the test, as the skin may turn red after being applied several times during the wash and it is difficult to see the true skin tone.

2. 

   
   
   Find natural light. Lighting can make skin look different - the skin will be yellow or green and affect the definition of skin tone. Choosing a sunny spot to find your skin tone will help you avoid misconceptions.
   • Try sitting by the window.
   • If you have an outdoor seat, go outside.

3. 

   
   
   See the color of the veins in the wrist. This is a quick way to determine skin tone if you can clearly see the veins. Place your hand at a source of natural light and see what color the veins show.
   • If the veins cannot be classified as green or blue, your skin is neutral in tone. When you have honey skin, your skin tone often falls into this category.
   • If the veins are green, your skin has a warm tone.
   • If the veins are blue or purple, you have cold skin tones.

4. 

   
   
   Observe the skin's response to sunlight. Is your skin prone to getting tanned? Is your skin sunburned or have freckles? The amount of melanin in the skin affects the skin's response to sunlight and helps you determine skin tone.
   • If your skin is prone to sunburn and is rarely sunburned, you have more melanin and hot or neutral skin tone.
   • If your skin is prone to sunburn and is not tanned, you have less melanin and have cold skin tones.
   • Some women with dark skin are not prone to sunburn but still have cold skin tone. Try some more tests to determine your skin tone.

5. 

   Keep a blank sheet of paper level with your face. Look in the mirror and see how your skin contrasts next to the white paper. The skin will be yellow, red or pink or without any of these colors and appear pale.
   • If your skin is yellow or pale when placed next to a white paper, you have a warm skin tone.
   • If it looks pink, rosy, or red, you have cold skin tone.
   • If your skin looks pale, you probably have honeyed skin with a neutral tone. The brown and golden tones of the skin combine to create this effect. You can see that the skin looks neutral and hot, as your skin tone is between these two ranges.
   • If you can't tell if your skin is yellow, honey, or pink, you have a neutral tone. Skin with neutral tones is suitable for foundation and hot / cold tones.

6. 

   Use gold foil and foil or metal to find the skin tone. Hold the yellow paper in front of you so it will reflect light on the skin. Observe if the yellow paper makes the face look pale or pale, or makes the skin appear fresher. Then, try with foil.
   • If it looks your best with yellow paper, you have warm skin tones.
   • If the reflection from the foil makes your skin brighter, you have cold skin tones.
   • If you don't see the difference (both foil and gold foil stand out), you have a neutral skin tone.
   • If you don't have gold foil or foil, try wearing gold and silver jewelry on your wrist, then see which one looks better.

7. 

   Ask a friend to observe the skin behind the ear. If your facial skin has acne, redness, or other medical condition that prevents you from seeing your skin tone clearly, ask a friend to look at the skin behind your ears, as this is a less affected area.
   • Have them check the skin next to the small fold behind the ear.
   • If your skin is yellow, you have hot skin tones.
   • If your skin is pink or rosy, you have cold skin tone.
   • If they find it hard to see, they can keep a blank sheet of paper near the skin. This will help them see whether their skin is yellow or pink.

8. 

   Eye color vision. Eye color can be very important for determining your skin tone. Light blue eyes and light brown eyes mean you have cool skin tones, while amber eyes have warm skin tones.
   • For example, blue eyes mean you have cool skin tone, while brown eyes mean you have hot skin tone.

Method 2 of 6: Choose lipstick colors

1. 

   Try lipsticks with blue or purple shades if you have cold skin tones. For example, choose bright red, lotus-pink, or purple-brown lipstick. Avoid orange tones and colors that are too light as they will make you look pale.
   • If your skin is white or light, choose a raspberry red, pink, or nude (skin color) lipstick.
   • If you have honey or tanned skin, choose a lipstick with a red or wine-red tone of cranberries.
   • If you have dark or dark skin, choose turquoise or red wine with a deep metallic tone.

2. 

   Choose red and orange lipstick if your skin has a warm tone. Good choices include coral, orange-pink, and magenta.
   • If you have fair or fair skin, look for bright red lipstick (which will make your teeth whiter), coral, pale pink or nude pink.
   • If your skin is tanned or dark, choose cherry red, pink, lilac, coral, or pink-purple. Alternatively, you can try adding orange, orange red, copper red or brass.
   • If you have a dark or dark skin tone, brownish, bronze, brass, purple, caramel, plum or wine red will work for you.

3. 

   Experiment with multiple colors if you have neutral skin tones. Most lipstick colors look good on neutral skin tones.
   • If you have fair skin, you can try making it stand out by choosing a darker shade that contrasts with your skin; choose a coral color if you have honey or tanned skin; and purplish pink if you have dark skin.

Method 3 of 6: Choose the right blush powder

1. 

   Choose pink if you have cool skin tones. Pink color will neutralize blush streaks of pink, red and blue, making the skin more fresh.
   • If you have fair skin, go for pale pink shades.
   • If you have dark skin, choose a bright pink shade.
   • For dark or dark skin, choose a rose-purple color tone is most appropriate. You can also get more radiant with a rose-orange tone.

2. 

   Choose an orange-toned blush if you have warm skin tones. Warm, bold colors like the one usually used in the fall are best for bright skin.
   • If your skin is white, choose a pale orange shade. You can also choose a copper tone.
   • If you have dark or tanned skin, choose apricot, lilac, peach orange, copper, or pink-purple.
   • If your skin is dark or dark, choose brick red, raisin, or orange. The lotus color is also very suitable for your skin.

3. 

   Experiment with multiple colors if you have neutral skin tones. When blessed with neutral skin tones, any blush color will suit you. Try a variety of tones to find the one you like best.
   • If you have fair skin, try pink tones.
   • For dark skin, you can try pink or orange colors.
   • If your skin is dark, choose bold colors.

Method 4 of 6: Choose eyeshadow

1. 

   Choose a color that adds warmth to cold skin tones. If you choose a cool color, you will look pale. Instead, add warmth to your natural skin tone so that it doesn't create much contrast.
   • If you have fair skin, you should choose pale tones for earth, pink and green colors.
   • Try pink or orange pink if you have dark skin.
   • If you have dark or dark skin, choose light tones like the color of gems that stand out on your skin.

2.

   • If you have fair skin, choose earth tones and a bronze color that will work for you.
   • Dark skin will stand out in copper, deep pink and orange roses.
   • If you have dark or dark skin, choose dark purple, navy, emerald green, and reddish-brown.

3. 

   Try all the colors in the eyeshadow box if you have neutral skin tones. Unleash your creativity with neutral skin tones as any color suits your skin tone.
   • If you have fair skin, try gem colors, earth tones, and iridescent tones.
   • If you have dark skin, try copper, earth, pink, and orange.
   • If your skin is dark or dark, try a gem color with a dark tone.

Method 6 of 6: Choose the right hair color

1. 

   Choose a golden tone that suits your skin tone. Blond hair looks good for people with fair skin, but any skin tone can dye blond if the right tone is chosen.
   • Choose a cool-tone gold like platinum or champagne if you have cold skin tones.
   • Choose warm tones like honey or butterscotch colors if you have warm skin tones.

   • Cold skin tones match dark brown colors. Choose chocolate brown or mocha.
   • If you have dark skin, choose a shade of brown that is darker or lighter than your skin tone, rather than the same color as your skin tone.Cool skin tones will look good on dark black or coffee, while hot skin tones will look fresh with latte or maple brown.
   • Neutral skin tones can match any color.

3. 

   Stand out in red. All skin colors match red if the correct tone is chosen. However, whites are usually brighter with a red tone.
   • People with fair skin and cold or neutral skin tones can dye a pale red like strawberry yellow.
   • White skin with red tones looks good on dark reddish tones like pure red or sepia.
   • Hot skin tone is also suitable for sepia tones, regardless of whether your skin is white, dark or dark.
   • If you have honey-colored skin, it's best to avoid red as the skin will look pale.
