Do you know how to choose the suitable hair color for your skin tone
Have you ever thought about how a hair color could enhance your overall sense of style and appearance beauty? Of course, if you have a strong desire for a specific hair color, go for it! Regardless of whether it objectively suits you or not. However, if you have no idea what hair color to choose or would like to hear some advice, then I recommend you to spend 3 minutes to keep reading this. The key to finding the ideal hair color lies in understanding your skin tone. Here is an easy guide to help you get the idea.
Cool tone skin: This means that your skin has pink or bluish undertones, and perhaps you will have wrist veins that appear blue. Btw, silver jewelry would look nice better on you.
Warm tone skin: Simply to say, warm skin tone represents your skin has yellow and peachy undertones, and gold jewelry may complement your skin.
Neutral tone skin: Combine the cool and warm tone together, you will have neutral tone skin. Both silver and gold jewelry look good on you.
Quick way to figure out which skin tone you are
The Vein Test： Go under the natural sunlight and look what color your wrist veins appear. Green-appearing veins suggest yellow or olive undertone, blue or more purple-appearing veins gives the answer to warm undertone, and a combination of both (or difficulty determining the color) points to neutral undertone.

The Fabric Test: This test is also very popular in Korea recently. What you should do is to hold the fabric with different colors next to your face (no make-ups), and sit in front of the natural light. (Gather fabrics in both warm and cool tones. for example, use bright white, off-white, gold, orange, pink, blue, and green.) If fabrics with cool colors like bright white, blue, make your skin look radiant, you probably have a cool skin tone. If warm shades such as gold, orange, and off-white make your complexion appear more vibrant and glowing, it’s likely that you have a warm skin tone. On the other hand, if both warm and cool colors complement your skin equally well, you may have a neutral skin tone.
