So maybe you feel bored of your current hair color, you've had it your whole life and yearn for something new. Or maybe you feel your last dye job left you washed out and pale, and need a new hue that suits you; or you just want to shake up your look. Here are some ways to pick a color that suites your skin color, to help avoid color mishaps.
Determine your skin tone. Generally, you will fall between a "warm" or "cool" category. Both have specific colors that will look well on them, knowing your skin tone will not only help you in choosing a hair color, but also makeup and clothing colors as well.An example of cool toned skin is actress Cameron Diaz, And Megan fox. Some warm tones? Lindsay Lohan and Beyonce.
Generally, you are cool toned if :
The veins in your inner wrist are blue.
Blue, black, purple, and violet clothing and makeup flatter you.
You tend to look better in silver or white gold jewelry.
The tones in your skin and cheeks are more pink than peachy, or no color in cheeks at all.
Rich cool blues and pure whites look great on you.
You're likely Warm if :
The veins in your wrists and forearms are more of a greenish tint.
You have a peachy or gold undertone in your skin.
There are almost no pink tones in skin, and when you tan, you tan totally brown.
Cream colors, and orange flatter your skin more than cool blues, you can also wear brown earthy tones.
Gold looks better on you than silver.
Generally, those with red hair or auburn hair also are warm toned.
**Neutral.
Sometimes, it can be very tricky to determine what is your exact skin tone, and if you seem to be split completely down (like me) you may very well be neutral skin toned. This is where you don't completely fit into either warm nor cool. For instance i have pink undertones, but green veins etc...
Don't be discouraged. Sample different makeup palettes and clothing colors and see what works best for you! Best of luck,
