Step 1: Analyze Your Skin Undertone

Your skin undertone is the key to determining whether you're warm or cool. Look at your wrist in natural light:

  • Warm undertones: Veins appear greenish, gold jewelry looks better
  • Cool undertones: Veins appear blue/purple, silver jewelry looks better

Step 2: Examine Your Natural Hair Color

Your natural hair color (before any dyeing) provides important clues:

  • Warm hair: Golden blonde, auburn, warm brown, red highlights
  • Cool hair: Ash blonde, platinum, cool brown, no red highlights

Step 3: Look at Your Eye Color

Eye color can help determine your depth and clarity:

  • Light/bright eyes: Light blue, green, amber (Spring/Summer)
  • Deep/muted eyes: Deep brown, hazel, gray (Autumn/Winter)

Step 4: Test with Fabric Draping

Hold different colored fabrics near your face in natural light:

  • Notice which colors make your skin glow
  • Observe which colors make you look tired or washed out
  • Pay attention to how colors affect your overall appearance
