Can you visibly see a blue or yellow undertone in your skin? If your answer is Yellow! You are Yellow based. Do you have a rosey or pink look or an obvious blue? Then you are most likely Blue based . It is important that you know that most people are cool toned. 2. What is your hair color? Is it your natural color? Do you have highlights? If so, are they golden or platinum? The very obvious warm tones such as golden red hair or golden blond or any brown hair with golden highlights will be yellow toned. Most obvious blue tones would be Platinum blond hair or highlights, gray and brunettes with clarity in color. 3. What is your eye color? Blue? Green? Brown? Hazel? Gray? Black? This is slightly more difficult to arrive at a definitive answer on color alone although certainly assists in arriving at the end result provided the previous questions are answered. Most pure Olive skin Asians and Latinos are cool toned . 4. Do you feel you look best in Gold or Silver jewelry? Gold equals yellow and of course, Silver equals Blue. 5. Do you look best in Jewel toned clothing such as purple, royal blue, intense pinks, bluer toned reds? Pure white? Or do you look best in Oranges, browns, earth tones, yellow greens, orange red and Ivory? If you chose the jewel tones and pure white then you are most likely blue based.
