Warm colors are based on yellows, oranges, browns, yellowish greens, orangish reds, and the like.Cool colors are based on blues, greens, pinks, purples, blue-greens, magentas, and blue-based reds.This simple chart will help you to determine what colors are what, once you learn the basic differences between warm and cool color tones.
Once you have a basic understanding, you can then differentiate between for example, a "warm pink" and a "cool pink". A warm pink is a peachy pink. A cool pink would be a purplish pink. A warm green would be a yellowish green. A cool green would be more blue.
A warm toned foundation powder is more yellow based. A cool toned one is more pink.
When you hear someone say "I am an autumn" or "I am a spring", this means that they look best in warm tones. In contrast, "summers" and "winters" look best in cool tones. (this is based on the Color Me Beautiful method of skin typing).
Looking at blushes? As a rule, any blush with a brown or peach undertone is warm. Any blush with a purple or pink undertone is cool. Some colors can work for both skintones, such as a peachy pink or a pinkish brown. This is why we offer samples, so you can try before you buy full sizes
If you do not know your skintone, you can estimate it by referring to the following chart:
Cool: Eyes are typically blue or grey. Haircolor typically blonde, brown or black. Skin has definite blue and pinkish undertones. Cool-toned people look best in colors such as blue, red, pink and purple, or "gem-tones". Usually look best in silver jewelry. In natural light, the color of the veins on the underside of your wrist are bluish. You can wear a white shirt and it is flattering on you.
Neutral: Eyes may be any color. Hair may be any color. Skin has unspecifiable undertones, such as pink, olive or yellow. Those with neutral coloring can wear just about any color clothing and look good. Can wear gold or silver jewelry (no preference as to which looks better)
Warm: Eyes are typically brown, green or hazel. Haircolor typically brown, black, red, auburn, blonde or strawberry blonde. Skin has yellow/orange or olive undertones. Warm-toned people look best in earthy-toned clothing, such as browns, yellows, oranges, yellowish green and ecru. Look best in gold jewelry. In natural light, the color of the veins on the underside of your wrist are greenish. You are most flattered by an off-white, cream or ecru shirt (i.e. pure white makes you look washed out)
跟據以上的準則,白色膚色的人穿深色的衣服是比較好看的,看看在style世界裡已升上神枱的Gwyneth Paltrow,穿上黑色的她顯得份外精神!
但皮膚白晢得如陶瓷的Nicole Kidman,穿上pastel tone 衣服也很漂亮,看過Chanel No.5那廣告都會對她在開場前從limo出來後在街上疾走的那條蝦肉色裙比在片尾的那條理所當然的露背黑色裙印象更難忘.
還有一點是,我真的覺得自己帶銀色首飾好睇過金色; 而白種人, 他們帶金飾完全沒有黃種人的那種俗氣, 比帶銀器更適合!
最後和友人的結論是,真的要以個別情況,每個人不停地嘗試,不停地研究, 才能找到最適合自己的.
