To understand your personal colors, you need to determine your skin undertones. This refers to the underlying hue of your skin, which can be either cool or warm. Cool undertones have hints of pink, blue, or purple, while warm undertones lean towards peach, yellow, or golden hues.
Here's a simple way to identify your undertones:
- Examine your veins: Look at the veins on your wrist. If they appear blue or purple, you likely have cool undertones. If they appear greenish, you likely have warm undertones.
- Check your skin reaction to sunlight: Do you tan easily or burn easily? Those who tan easily generally have warm undertones, while those who burn easily usually have cool undertones.
Once you know your undertones, you can explore your seasonal color palette. This is a set of colors that are most flattering for your specific skin tone, hair color, and eye color. The four main seasons are:
- Spring: Warm, light, and bright colors with yellow undertones
- Summer: Cool, light, and muted colors with blue undertones
- Autumn: Warm, deep, and rich colors with orange undertones
- Winter: Cool, deep, and intense colors with blue undertones
There are resources and tools available online that can help you identify your season. You can also seek the assistance of a professional color analyst for a personalized analysis.
