If you just washed your face, wait about 15-30 minutes until any redness from scrubbing fades.
Determining your skin tone
The simplest test uses a plain white piece of paper.
Hold the paper up to your face and compare how your skin looks in contrast to the paper.
If your skin looks pink, rosy, or blue, then you have a cool skin tone.
If your skin looks gray or ashen, then you are a neutral skin tone.
Next, flip your hand palm up and take a peek at your veins in the hand and wrist.
If your veins appear to be blue or purple, you have cool skin.
If they appear green, then you have warm skin.
How does your skin react to the sun?
People who tan easily instead of burn usually have warm skin tones.
For you, the best colors are rich reflections of nature.
Neutrals that are best for you include taupe, cappuccino, cream, and mushroom gray.
On the warm side, you might turn to ruby, bright rosy red, or super-pale yellows.
With neutrals, you’ve got the option to rock cool gray, bright white, and navy.
Choose colors like dusty pink, jade green, cornsilk yellow, or lagoon blue.
For neutral colors, turn to off-whites, coffee, mid-range grays, and black.
Pure white goes great with everyone’s skin.
Light blush pink brightens any skin tone and brings out the natural glow of your face.
