Understanding Your Skin Tone

Before diving into colour theory, it's essential to determine your skin tone. Skin tones can be categorised into three main groups:

Cool Undertones:

  • Veins appear blue or purple.

  • Jewellery tends to look better in silver.

  • Skin often has a pinkish or reddish undertone.

Warm Undertones:

  • Veins appear green.

  • Jewellery tends to look better in gold.

  • Skin often has a yellowish or golden undertone.

Neutral Undertones:

  • A mix of both cool and warm undertones.

  • Jewellery looks good in both silver and gold.
