The color you wear should be dependent on your
skin tone. So first you have to determine if you are a warm or cool color. The easiest way to find out if you are a warm or cool is to wrap gold and silver piece of clothing around your face. Which color makes your face pop the most? If the gold looks best on you then you are the warm
shade but if you like silver then you are the cool shade. *Now if you are still struggling here is a list I found.
A general guide to tell if you are cool toned:-
- You have pink undertones to your skin – Usually this translate to a rosy outlook.
- You burn easily instead of tanning.
- Your eyes might be blue or gray and you may have blonde, brown or black hair – not applicable to Asians.
- You look good in strong colors of blue, red, pink or purple or jewel toned colours
- You look better with Silver jewelry
- You look good wearing white
- In sunlight, your visible veins have a bluish tint

A general guide to tell if you are warm toned:-
- You have yellow undertones to your skin – The common perception is that if you are Asian you are warm toned. Not quite true. Many Asians are neutral toned.
- You tan instead of burning.
- Your eyes may be brown or hazel or green and you may have brown, red, black hair – not applicable to Asians.
- You look good wearing browns,yellows,orange,yellowish greens or lime greens.
- You look better with Gold jewelry

The reason to find if you are warm or cool colored is because it helps you later on to determine your seasons. Now these season will help you find the right colors and shades for your skin. But we will talk about that later. For now go have fun and determine if you are warm or cool skinned type person.
