Determine what colors suit you best by first identifying your skin undertone—cool, warm, or neutral. Cool undertones look great in blues, purples, and emerald greens. Warm undertones shine in earthy tones like reds, oranges, and yellows. Neutral undertones can wear a mix of both. For a precise match, consider draping different colored fabrics near your face in natural light and noting which colors make your skin glow.
