Did you know the colours you wear can transform not just your look but your confidence, too? Imagine choosing outfits that naturally brighten your complexion, make your eyes sparkle, and highlight your unique beauty. It all begins with discovering your perfect hues - and we’re here to help you unlock them!
Welcome to this episode of The Magic of Colours - Art Frequency's guide to mastering the magic of colour - where we dive into the art of matching colours to your skin tone and undertone. By the end, you’ll have the tools to curate a wardrobe that feels vibrant, empowering, and authentically you.
Why Skin Tone and Undertone Matter
Your skin tone refers to the surface colour of your skin - fair, medium, or dark. Your undertone is the subtle hue beneath the surface that remains consistent, whether you tan or stay indoors. It can be cool, warm, or neutral, and understanding it is the secret to finding colours that naturally enhance your look.
Quick Tip: Unsure about your undertone?
Cool Undertone: Veins on your wrist appear blue or purple. Silver jewellery flatters you more than gold.
Warm Undertone: Veins look green. Gold jewellery makes you glow.
Neutral Undertone: Veins are a mix of green and blue, and both silver and gold jewellery look equally stunning on you.
By aligning your wardrobe with your undertone, you’ll create looks that feel cohesive and radiant.
Flattering Colours for Each Undertone: bring out your glow for your skin tone or undertone
Warm Undertones
If your skin has golden, peachy, or yellow hues, earthy, sunny, and autumn-inspired shades are your best friends.
Best Colours: Burnt orange, mustard yellow, terracotta, olive green, coral, camel, rust, and chocolate brown. Additional Colours: Sunflower yellow, paprika red, forest green, warm beige, bronze, and copper.
Example Look: Picture yourself in a coral jumpsuit paired with camel heels and a bronze necklace. It’s a radiant, sun-kissed vibe that effortlessly enhances your glow.
Cool Undertones
Skin with pink, blue, or red hues thrives in cool, crisp shades and jewel tones.
Best Colours: Sapphire blue, emerald green, lavender, icy white, navy, plum, and magenta. Additional Colours: Powder blue, pastel lilac, cool grey, fuchsia, teal, and soft pink.
Example Look: Pair an emerald green blouse with navy trousers and silver earrings. This polished look exudes elegance and sophistication.
Neutral Undertones
Lucky you—your skin has a blend of warm and cool tones, giving you versatility. Muted, balanced shades work wonders for your complexion.
Best Colours: Dusty rose, taupe, teal, aubergine, soft neutrals, and pale gold. Additional Colours: Sage green, slate blue, caramel, mocha, blush, and seafoam.
Example Look: Opt for a taupe wrap dress styled with sage green accessories and pale gold accents. It’s a refined and effortlessly chic combination.
