What is your skin tone?

Before choosing between gold and silver, we’re going to establish your skin tone. Once you know this, we will tell you which colors go with cool skin tones and which are best for warm skin tones, as well as the jewelry that will suit you best.

Warm skin tone

Look at the skin on your face. Can you see golden, yellow, or peachy tones? This points to you having a warm skin tone. If you are unsure, several tricks will help you to determine your tone:

  • Take a look at the veins in your wrists. If your veins look green in color, your skin tone is likely to be warm.
  • Place a sheet of white paper near your face in natural light. Look at the hues of your skin in contrast with the white of the paper. This should make it easier to detect those golden, yellow, or peachy tones.
  • Do you tan easily? This is another hint that indicates you have warm skin.
  • Plus, does yellow, orange, or brown clothing normally suit you? Well, it’s clear then, because these are the colors for warm skin tones. In other words, these colors make you look radiant if you have dark skin.

Cool skin tone

If you think you have a cool skin tone, look at your face and notice whether you see blueish or pinkish tones. Not quite sure? Then, let’s check using the tricks below.

  • The color of the veins on your wrists will give you a clue about your skin tone. If they look pinkish or blue, your skin tone is likely to be cool.
  • To see the hues of color better on your face, use the white paper test. Place it near your face. Can you see bluish, pinkish, or reddish hues? This indicates your skin tone is cool.
  • Do you burn easily? Is it hard to get a tan? If that’s the case, then you probably have a cool skin tone.
  • If, in addition, you usually suit blue, green, or gray clothing, then you definitely have a cool skin tone.
