It took me a while to realize that I had been figuring out that I needed cool toned lipstick and that I had been spending hours picking them out by comparing all the different colors and then deciding that the cool tones worked best. I could wear two lipsticks that didn't seem all that different and one would look amazing and the other would look, well, cheap. I thought that you just had to figure out what suited you, or even that you just have to figure out what you could get away with.īut there really are a set of the best colors for cool skin tones. The first time I read about cool and warm skin tones I didn't really think it was all that much of a big deal and that all skin tones were individual, so they couldn't be summed up as either being cool or warm. This is never more true than when one of us decides to borrow a favorite sweater or something like that and is disappointed that it doesn't look nearly as good as it does when the other is wearing it. The result is that we can't really ever use each other's makeup or clothes, except things that are just basic black or white. While I've got a yellowish tone to my skin, which I guess I get from my father's side of the family. She's takes after our Irish ancestry and she's got that really pale, rose petal skin. It's got something to do with the underlying pigment in your skin.įor example, my sister has cool toned skin. I think they used to say you were a "winter" or a "summer" for a while, but it basically means the same thing. May 31, - Yeah, the cool tones, warm tones thing has been around for a while. The only reason they look that color at all is because of the light reflecting off the skin, so I think that whether you have warm or cool skin tone has got more to do with the transparency of your skin than the pigment. If they look blue, you have cool toned skin, if they look greenish, you have warm toned skin.
The real way to tell is whether the blood vessels in that are visible under your skin are blue or green. In fact, most people who are very pale are cool skinned, but so are people with true olive skin or dark skin. May 31, - While it might have something to do with pigment in the skin, skin tone is not determined by how dark someone is. If there are any ideas or suggestions, please let me know! -Aliyana I, on the other hand am too scared to self tan because of the possible tacky results. My friend has a gorgeous olive complexion and she tans easily. The reason I'm asking about self tanners is because winter months are coming and I get super pale and I want some color in winter.
Since I'm cool skin toned, will self tanners look OK on me? I unfortunately inherited super pale skin from my father, who was pale and had pitch black hair.
