Hold a piece of clean white paper up to your throat and chest. Look at what colors jump out of your skin when juxtaposed against the white piece of paper. Blue and pink colors mean you have cool-toned skin. Green and gold colors mean you have warm-toned skin. The coloration for neutrals might fluctuate depending on the time of year and sun exposure.
Which metal makes your skin look brighter and healthier? If you prefer gold against your skin, you are warm-toned. If you prefer silver against your skin, you are cool-toned.
Don’t overexpose yourself to the sun just to check whether your skin burns or tans! Instead, rely on past experience. If you have painful memories of sunburn, you’re probably cool-toned. If you can’t recall every getting sunburn, you’re probably warm-toned. If you find that you neither burn nor tan, or that your burns quickly heal into a tan, you are probably neutral-toned.

Very fair skin: if your skin can be described as “alabaster” or “porcelain,” you’ll look great in soft pink, tawny and beige tones, but want to avoid orangey reds. Nude and peach lipsticks look great for a daily shade, but a bright red will stand out for a dramatic look. [6] X Research source Avoid gray-based makeup like pale, frosty eye-shadows, as they tend to wash out your natural coloring. Medium-fair skin: wear makeup with yellow and pearlescent undertones, and gold flecks Medium-dark skin: your skin can work well with a wide range of colors, bright and punchy to pastel and understated. Experiment and see what fits your personal preference. Dark skin: wear rich, metallic hues like copper and bronze to highlight your natural tone. Bright berry tones on cheeks and lips can also pop really nicely. Avoid pale colors that look chalky, though.
Warm-toned skin with yellow/gold undertones: choose deep brown shades like chestnut and mahogany; coppery reds work well as highlights. Cool-toned skin with blue/red undertones: your skin will work well with contrast, so look for intense colors in brown, red, or blonde. Ruddy, reddish complexion: beige, honey, and golden hues will even out a ruddy complexion.
