Understanding Your Color Type
Determining your color type can help you enhance your appearance by choosing clothing and makeup that best suit your natural features. This guide will walk you through the basics of color theory and how to identify which season you fall into based on your skin tone, eye color, and hair color.
Identify Your Skin Undertone
First, identify your skin’s undertone. People typically have warm, cool, or neutral undertones. A quick way to find out is by looking at the veins on your wrist. If they appear blue or purple, you likely have cool undertones. If they look green, you have warm undertones. Veins that are blue-green indicate neutral undertones.
Assess Your Natural Hair and Eye Color

Your natural hair and eye color can also guide you to your color type. Typically, those with cool undertones might have blue, gray, or deep brown eyes and blonde, brown, or black hair with platinum, silver, ash, or blue undertones. Warm undertone individuals often possess hazel, brown, or amber eyes with strawberry blonde, red, brown, or black hair that has yellow, red, orange or golden undertones.
Determining Your Season
Combining these features, you can find out whether you belong to a specific 'season'. Each season represents a set of colors that ideally complements the natural tones of those who fit into these categories:

The idea behind season color analysis is to build a personal color palette that makes you look vibrant, healthy, and harmonious. Wearing colors that complement your natural tones will enhance your beauty, making you appear more dynamic and approachable.
Remember, the best way to thoroughly understand your color type might involve some trial and error. Don't hesitate to experiment with recommended colors and see which ones truly make you feel and look your best.
