1. Jewellery Test
One way to tell what colours go with your skin tone is to think about what jewellery looks best on you: silver or gold? This may not necessarily be which one you like wearing most - but which one looks best against your skin tone. Typically women with cool undertones look best in silver and platinum whereas warm-toned women suit gold.
2. Neutral Test
Neutrals are probably the easiest colours for women to wear regardless of their skin tone as they're often versatile and easy to pull off. However, certain shades of neutral will look better on you than others. If your skin, eyes and face looks best bright white and black hues you're most likely cool-toned, or if they look best in ivory, off-whites, brown and tan shades then you're most likely warm-toned.
To truly dazzle in neutrals, consider the depth of color that complements your complexion. Cool-toned individuals can embrace lighter shades like silvery gray and charcoal, which highlight their undertones. On the other hand, warm-toned ladies will shine in rich taupes and camels that enhance the golden notes in their skin. It’s also worth mixing textures within your neutral palette. A smooth ivory silk blouse could look stunning against a rough wool brown skirt, creating a sophisticated ensemble that resonates with your intrinsic coloring.

6. Vein Test
Have a look at the veins on the inside of your wrist. Are they blue or green? Cool-toned women will often see blue veins and warm-toned women will often see green. P.S this doesn't mean that your veins are actually green, but it looks this way because you're seeing it through yellow-toned skin - this is how you know you're warm-toned rather than cool!
7. Sun Effect
Have you ever noticed how some people tan so easily and can turn a nice shade of golden brown in a second (jealous!)whereas it might take you ages to achieve the same colour or you might simply just burn instead of tanning at all? That's also due to your natural colouring! See, warm-toned women will turn a golden brown while cool-toned women tend to burn and turn pink first. Fair skinned cool-toned women will straight up burn while medium skinned cool-toned women will burn and then tan.
