Gold or silver, what is your color?

To determine whether gold or silver suits you best, it is important to identify whether you have a cool or warm undertone. Follow these simple steps to find out:

1. Examine Your Arm

Take a look at your arm in natural daylight. Observe the colors visible on your arm. If your veins appear bluish or almost purple, and your skin has a rosy tone, it indicates a cool undertone. If your veins appear more greenish and your skin has a slightly yellowish tone, then you have a warm undertone.

2. Hair and Eye Color

Your natural hair and eye color can also provide clues about your undertone. Cool undertones tend to have cool blond or light brown hair, along with blue, green, or gray eyes. Warm undertones often have dark brown, black, or golden blond hair and brown or green eyes. If you have a neutral undertone, your hair and eyes can have any of these different colors. Red hair can suit both cool and warm undertones.

3. Check Your Makeup Bag

If you have foundation or concealer, examine the shade to gain a better understanding of your undertone. If the shade has a more yellowish tone, you have a warm undertone. If the shade has a more pinkish tone, you have a cool undertone. If the shade is a combination of yellow and pink, you have a neutral undertone. It can be helpful to read the packaging as many foundations have color names like "warm beige" or similar. This is assuming that you have a foundation that matches your skin.

Conclusion

A cool undertone usually suits silver best, while a warm undertone suits gold. If you have a neutral undertone, you can wear both gold and silver. However, certain shades may enhance your features more than others. Use these steps as guidelines to discover your skin's undertone, but ultimately choose jewelry and colors that you personally prefer and that make you feel confident and beautiful.
