I hate it when you are filling out a beauty questionnaire and you are asked what is your skin tone. I never really knew how to answer that. I also hate trying to pick out a foundation or powder that matches my skin tone. I can’t tell you how much money I have wasted on products trying to match the product to my own skin tone. Hopefully, you won’t run into the same problem by using these simple tests to find your skin tone.
What’s Your Type
One of the most common methods of identifying skin color is the Fitzpatrick scale, which assigns the various shades of skin “types” ranging from I to VI. The paker you are, the lower your type. Check out the infographic below to determine your tone and find your skin tone more accurately.
Are Your Warm or Cool
Regardless of your skin color, each person has an inherent tone to their skin, they are either “warm” or “cool”. Here are two ways to find out your tone. Following these steps can help you ultimately find your skin tone.
Test #1
Hold a plain blank piece of white paper next to your skin and refer to the chart below in the infographic.
Test #2
Stand directly in the sun and look at the skin around your wrist, and the veins beneath your skin. Do they appear green or blue? This can be another way to help find your skin tone.
Pick the Season of Your Skin
Skin tones can also be categorized by seasons, especially when it comes to fashion, and choosing what colors look best on you. Follow these steps to determine what’s your best season and find your skin tone.
