Colors That Go Best With You According To Your Skin Color
As you might know, some colors look better on some people vs. others… This happens because certain skin tones pull off colors better than others. Keep reading to find out which colors go best with you!
It’s important for you to know that your skin tone refers to the surface color or level of pigment of your skin which can change depending on your hormone’s level, how much you expose to the sun and if you tan.
There are four major skin tone categories; you can either have a fair tone (you’re very pale, and often burn easily), light tone (you’re not the lightest of the light, but you are still generally pale), medium tone (your skin is, as the name suggests, medium in saturation) or a dark tone (you have a dark and/or a very deep complexion).
On the other hand, your undertone will never change and is determined by the amount of blue, yellow, green or red that you have in your skin… Your undertone is the key for finding out which colors suit you the best.
