Next, we will help you determine your skin tone, then how to choose clothes, jewelry and hair color that will make your complexion look bright and vibrant.

What Color Suit Your Skin Tone

First of all, we must clarify the tone of your skin. Let’s do a test now!
1. Look at your blood vessels
A :bluish   B: greenish
2. When wearing yellow clothes, the overall skin color looks like
A: sallow   B: spirit
3. Put the white paper on your face and look up
A: pink or blue   B: light brown or golden
4. Gold and silver eye shadow, that is more suitable for yourself
A: silver   B: gold
5. If you go out without sunscreen , your skin will be
A: tan   B: reddish
6. What color are your eyes
A: black or dark brown   B: brown

The conclusion is: choose A more, you're as cool as a cucumber, baby! However, you have a warm skin tone if your answers match B better. In case it's really hard for you to choose A or B, Congratulations! You're probably neutral skin tone.

Cool Skin Tone

The characteristic of cool skin tone is that the cheeks are easy to turn red after being exposed to the sun. Women with this type of skin are lucky, as most colors of clothes can make you more gorgeous and stunning. Among the color systems, yellow and blue can highlight your skin most, like light orange red, lemon yellow, sky blue, making the whole bright and shining. But don't discount other bright colors like shocking pink (not hot pink, which is warm), apple green, purplish red are also the best.

Avoid wearing all light or cold colors, which will make you looks more pale. Black, in sharp contrast to fair complexion, is not necessarily suitable for you. It may give people a feeling of lack of vitality.

Warm Skin Tone

Black and white as the basic color is the most suitable for warm skin tone, especially white with its own "reflector" effect, nobody but you could be so brilliant! You don’t have to worry about wearing bright colors will look vulgar. In fact, high saturation colors also can make you radiant and have a brighter shape as long as it’s right. You can get away with warmer greens and blues, like deeper turquoise, green moss, olive, fern, pesto, and red-purples in magenta and orchid shades.

Try to circumvent chilly colors like icy blues or jewel tones such as sapphire and amethyst as they can wash you out and make your skin look gray.

Neutral Skin Tone

Go wild, neutral skin tone! You can wear anything on the color wheel--but it's typically best to go for softened or muted versions of a color instead of the brighter ones. Neutral colors like off-whites, coffee, mid-range greys and black are your best friend. Oversaturated colors like electric blue and magenta may overwhelm your neutral skin tone. But some colors are not exceptions, like true red, which can make you have a rosy complexion and look amazing!

Your Jewellery

Remember the test you did “Gold and silver eye shadow, that is more suitable for yourself” to determine whether you were cool or warm-toned? This rule also applies to the choice of jewelry color. Now that you know which color of metals make your skin look healthiest and brightest, incorporate more of those metals into your jewelry collection.

1. Cool skin tone: silver and platinum generally make you look glowing.
2. Warm skin tone: gold is where it's at.
3. Neutral skin tone: mix and match these metals boldly!

Your Hair Color

Compared with changing your outfits, jewelry, or makeup, this is a drastic, longer-lasting change that you need to think long and hard about it before you dye your hair. That said, changing your hair color can go along way toward making your complexion look bright and fresh.

1. Cool skin tone: your skin will work well with contrast, so look for intense colors in brown, red, or blonde.
2. Warm skin tone: you can choose freely from dark brown to dark blonde, and won’t make mistakes. Think carefully about cool color.
3. Neutral skin tone: It's time to use your imagination! Is a combination of colors, think blonde with ashy streaks or brown with warmer tones.

If you love a color that isn't the best for you, that doesn't mean you have to stop wearing it! Consider using it as an accent color with a belt, scarf, shoes, or handbag instead of wearing it head-to-toe. Bellabarnett is here looking forward to you showing off a new fashion outfit!
