Are you cool??

Cool skin tone makeup, if you have pink or blue undertones, can make your skin come alive in a way that bronzes, golds, olive greens, and warm browns never could. In fact, if you have a cool skin tone and you've been wearing shades best suited for warm skin tones, you may have been asked on more than one occasion if you're feeling alright. It's important to match the skin tone to the makeup, choosing shades from the matching color family.

Determine Your Skin Tone

• Do you look better in silver jewelry than gold?
• Does your skin appear to be more pink than golden?
• Does your natural hair color have little to no copper-red or gold in it?
• Do you look better in white than cream?
• Do you prefer to wear jewel-toned clothing rather than earth tones?

If you answered yes to most or all of the questions above, you may be in need of cool tone makeup to match your undertones.

Cool skin tone makeup includes pinks, mauves, plums, roses, cool browns, black, navy blue, bright blue, teal, white, gray, and so forth. All of the "cool colors" on the color wheel fit in with this category, though you wouldn't wear all of the colors on every part of your face, of course. Blue-based colors work perfectly with cool skin tones. That includes blue-based red lipsticks, plum blushes, taupe shadows and more. For your best look, stay away from yellow-based eye, lip, and cheek products. They'll drain the color right out of your skin.

Have a beautifying day!
