If you have a cool skin tone, the hand placed on the silver fabric will look pinker and healthier. If you are a warm tone, the gold will bring out the best hand. You can also determine your skin tone by holding a number of different colors of fabric near your face to see which shades are the most flattering to you. Good color choices will result in attention being drawn to your eyes, a smoother appearance to the skin, and a healthy and vibrant complexion. If you see these positives when you hold up shades of blue, pink and lilac, you are definitely “cool.”Cool skin tones also tend to fall into a few general categories, although none of these guidelines is a hard or fast rule. Overall, cool gals will look better in silver or white-gold jewelry, and will wear shades of pink and fuchsia well. Natural hair color is usually light brown, blonde, red or brunette, and eyes are green, blue or gray. Cool complexions are often naturally pale with rosy cheeks, and the veins you can see under the skin have a blue tint to them. If these characteristics apply to you, and you passed the cool color test above, you can safely assume you are a cool skin tone and plan your makeup, hair and clothing appropriately.
