If you have been in for a color consultation you may have heard me talk about cool and warm skin tones. Picking a hair color that compliments your skin tone can make all the difference in whether your feel drab or fab.
How do I know which skin tone I have?
White shirt test - Grab a crisp white shirt and see if your skin looks pink next to it or golden next to it.
If you look best in pure white, black, or navy you are cool toned.
If you look best in off white, brown or grey you are warm toned.
If it is hard to determine pink from yellow against the white shirt or you don’t have a major feel either way between white and off white – you lucky gal are neutral.
