So What’s Your Skin Tone

One of the basic things in choosing the right outfit and make up begins with choosing the right color for your skin tone. Most women neglect or doesn't know what the right color fits for their skin, just by matching it with the right outfit and make up your skin will definitely compliment your get up instantly. But what you need to do first is to classify what is the color of your skin so you can go to the next big step. Here are my examples of skin tone that you can compare of with.


First on the list is the Caucasian white skin, second is the Asian fine pinkish white, third is the natural golden tan, olive skin tone or mostly called in the Philippines the “morena” skin type and last but not the least the eye catchy dark brown or the African American black.

Caucasian white skin or Western or European natives mostly have this color. This type of color is definitely a dare devil cause any color specially the bright loud colors will be absolutely a stand out for your skin tone. Having styles like loud prints, color blocking, edgy and glam look is a very complementing look for you. Actually having your skin tone is a plus cause you can have whatever style you want, Just by knowing how to mix and match things specially the bright colors with prints and also with the right color of makeup, I can say you will definitely be called the next it girl.

Second is the modern Asian skin type or the pinkish white glow, this color I can say is mostly the most relax skin tone amongst other skin color. Because this certain skin type is just in the middle of everything. Moderation this is what it is all about you can wear bright colors but not all the way just a little pinch in your outfit will do. Not all loud colors or shinny shimmering things will suit for you it can easily make or break your look.


Styles like Girly, Boho and Indie cheek are great for you. Also be careful in matching prints because it’s either or neither will compliment your skin. Actually earth colors and pastels will absolutely be your bestfriend because it is the safest color for your skin type you can never go wrong with it, whether it is a cocktail dress or just an outfit for a gimmick or a date with special someone, natural earth colors and pastels will definitely suits you.

Third is the Olive skin tone, Natural Tan or what we call here in the Philippines “Morena” having this skin type is very sexy like when you imagine watching bay watch in your childhood those sexy lifeguards with their perfect hot skin tone is so envious. Having styles like Classic and Edgy Glam is impeccably a sophisticated stunner for your skin. Choosing Beige, Cream, Gray, Tangerine and Olive Green are great match for your skin tone because it compliments your skin tone even more.

And lastly the classy dark chocolate skin tone. Having this skin color is a god’s gift, it screams sultry sensational goddess. Having styles like clean cheek, classic tailored look is a great style for your skin tone. You just have to stick with primary colors and earth tones, like white, black, gray, dark brown and flesh. This colors are breath taking stunner for you cause it accentuates your skin even better.

Don’t go for super bright or neon colors cause it can make your get up like a spot light on a foil, they will only have the attention for your dress and not for your beautiful skin. Wearing something sparkling does have a do’s and don’ts for your skin type, just wear something simple but elegant it is the way to go.

Just always remember you are carrying the dress and not the dress whose carrying you, meaning your outfit and your skin tone should be complimenting each other. That as if you want to have that star pow wow quality.
