What Skin Tone Are You?


If you read the recent reviews lately, there has been a lot of mention about the right skin tone and the right colored dresses. The question is, what skin tone category do you fall in? So here is a brief explanation about each skin season and you will find out what skin tone are you!

Winter




Undertones: blueish or pinkish


Skin color: Pale white, olive yellow, dark


Generally African Americans and Asians fall into this group


Tip: Opt for colors that are stark, sharp and clear to compliment your winter skin tone. Like in winter, you would like to wear bright colors to stand out of that white background. Same goes for garments! When wearing light colors, opt for icy tones instead of pastel colors, because you need something to match your undertone and not go against it.


Suggested colors: White, Black, Navy Blue, Red, Shocking Pink


Avoid: Subdued tones like beige, orange and gold.


Summer


Undertones: blueish or pinkish

Skin color: Pale and pink

Normally blondes or brunettes with pale eyes

Tip: Choose pastels with pastels and soft neutral with rose and blue undertones. 

Suggested colors: Lavender, plum, rose brown, soft blue

Avoid: Black and Orange


Autumn



Undertones: Golden

Normally redheads and brunettes with golden brown eyes 

Tip: Look for colors with a slight gold undertone to bring out that glimmer in your skin. But avoid colors with blue undertones. 

Suggested colors: Camel, beige, orange, gold, dark brown

Avoid: Navy


Spring



Undertones: Golden 

Skin color: Creamy white or peach

Generally people with straw or strawberry red colored hair, freckles, rosy cheeks or blue and green eyes.  

Tip: Similar to Autumn, you should look for colors with a gold undertone with a darker tone. But avoid dark and dull colors. 

Suggested colors: Camel, peach, golden yellow and golden brown

Avoid: Dark and dull colors.
