What's Your Skin Colour?

Right off the bat, you need to determine your skin tone: are you cool, warm, or neutral? Oftentimes, the skin determines whether your hair colour would make you appear brighter.

The guide below will help you distinguish:

Cool- Take a good look at the veins inside your wrist. If they appear blue or purple, then you are cool-toned.
Warm- If your veins look more green than blue, there is a high chance that you're warm-toned.
Neutral- Meanwhile, people with neutral skin tones tend to see purple, blue, and green veins.

The Different Shades of Orange

If you've successfully determined your skin tone, finding the perfect hue of orange is the next step. People with cool undertones should pick a shade that pops up and overpowers their fair colour. One example is coral orange, cantaloupe orange, or tangerine.

Those with warm undertones are often suggested to stay away from bright colours and stick with deeper hues like dark amber, clay orange, or bronze.

People with neutral skin tone can experiment with a lot of orange shades. They can choose between brighter shades of coral orange, cantaloupe orange, and tangerine or deeper hues such as dark amber, clay orange, or bronze.
