Skin Tones
April 3, 2009
When looking at makeup, and especially eye shadows, many women wonder what colors they should choose for their skin tone. With so many colors and variations to choose from, it can be a little overwhelming.
The first thing to look at is what your skin tone is. Does it have more yellow or olive coloring (warm tones), or more pink or red (cool tones)? One way to find out is to hold silver & gold colors next to your skin, or wear something white and something cream colored (material swatches, clothing, etc.) and see what happens. If you’re skin is a warm tone, it will look better next to something gold or a cream color. Cool tones will look better with silver & white.
