What Is Your Colour?

By /

 

In order to complete this quiz you need to make sure you are not wearing any makeup – we don’t want to confuse your skin tone with foundation!

You’ll need an orange and a pink scarf or shirt (you can use pieces of material or other clothing items, you just need to drape them around your neck and shoulders) for PART ONE. For PART TWO you’ll need bright pink, pastel pink, black and light blue scarves/shirts if you’re COOL and peach, orange, brown and beige scarves/shirts if you’re WARM.

PART TWO: DARK or LIGHT

COOL UNDERTONES

Hold up each of the four colours (bright pink, pastel pink, black and light blue) to your face.

If you are:

  1. Overwhelmed by the bright pink and black, but flattered by the pastel then you’re a LIGHT COOL.
  2. If you are flattered by the bright pink and black, but look sick or pale in the pastel pink and light blue then you’re a COOL.

WARM UNDERTONES

Hold up each of the four colours (peach, orange, brown and beige) to your face.

If you are:

  1. Overwhelmed by the orange and brown but flattered by the peach and beige you have LIGHT WARM undertones.
  2. If you are flattered by the orange and brown, but look sick or pale in the peach of beige then you’re a WARM.
