Universally flattering clothing colors
Gold and silver jewelry (optional)
Step 1: Assess skin tone 考慮膚色氣質
Assess your skin tone as either cool or warm. Hold a white sheet of paper up to your face to identify the main color you see in your skin. If you’re still confused, put on a white blouse and then a cream-colored blouse. If you look better in the white, you’re likely cool-skinned and if the cream one is more flattering, you have a warm skin tone.
See which jewelry tone is most flattering. Silver jewelry will look best against cool-toned skin, while gold jewelry will make warm tones glow.
Step 2: Choose foundation 選擇適合的粉底顏色
Choose a foundation and powder with blue or pink undertones if you have cool skin. Warmer skin tones should wear a yellow-based powder and foundation.
Step 3: Choose blush 選擇腮紅的顏色
Go for a pink, beige, or tawny-hued blush if you have cool skin. Warm tones look best in plums, auburn, copper, or bronze. If you have tan skin, try peaches, corals, apricots, and oranges.
Cool tones should generally avoid earth tones, which work best on warm skin tones.
Step 4: Choose lipstick 選擇口紅
Select lipsticks and lip liners based on their dominant color. If they’re primarily warm red, brown, magenta, or purple, they’ll look great against warm skin. Cool skin will come alive with orangey red, light purple, and pink.
Step 5: Choose eyeshadow 眼影的選擇
Choose white, silver, gray, pale blue, purple, or dark green eye shadow if you have cool skin. Warm skin will look great in bronze, coral, red, pink, cream, light brown, and soft green.
Step 6: Choose clothing 選擇衣服的顏色搭配
Wear clothing colors that flatter everyone, regardless of skin tone or even hair color, due to the fact that they fall in the middle of the color spectrum — not too cool or too warm. They are eggplant, Indian Teal, true red, and soft rose — which is between light pink and peach.
A study by the University of Durham, England, found that athletes in sports competitions who wore red were more likely to win than contestants wearing other colors.
