“You should make sure that the depth of the color is at least two shades darker or lighter than your skin to avoid looking washed out,” Jack wrote. The basic rules Jack likes to follow are: Cool haircolors to complement cool skin tones. Warm haircolors to complement warm skin tones.
Similarly, how do I know my skin tone?
In natural light, check the appearance of your veins beneath your skin.
- If your veins appear blue or purple, you have a cool skin tone.
- If your veins look green or a greenish blue, you have a warm skin tone.
- If you can’t tell whether or not your veins are green or blue, you probably have a neutral skin tone.
Consequently, is my skin warm or cool toned? Warm: If the base tone of your skin is yellow or gold, you have warm undertones. Cool: If you see hints of blue, pink or red, then you have cool undertones. Neutral: If there’s a mixture of both warm and cool hues, or your undertone is the same color as your actual skin color, then you fall into the neutral category.
Hereof, should your hair tone match your skin tone?
Striking the right contrast between your complexion and hair color is key. What you don’t want is your hair color to perfectly match your skin—your features will disappear. If your skin is warm or golden, beautiful shades of mahogany or copper bring out the sunniness in your skin.
