Many times, when we go shopping for clothes, we see a garment on the hanger but when we put it on it doesn't fit us as well as we imagined in our head. And sometimes it's not because of the pattern or the cut, but because of the colour of the garment.
The same thing happens when we go shopping for fabrics. We must know how to choose the tones that best suit us. Therefore, today we want to give you the following tips, always looking at the garments that are close to the face and that will give us that luminosity from the chest up:
What colour suits me best?
The first thing to do is to find out if we are warm people or cold people. And that will not depend on our character, but on the colour of our skin, eyes and hair.
Warm person
A warm person is one who, when exposed to the sun, tends to turn tan as a first reaction. As for their hair , their tone is light: blond, brown, brown... And finally, a warm person will have green, honey or brown eyes.
Cold person
A warm person is one who, when exposed to the sun, tends to turn red as a first reaction. As for their hair hair, their tone is very dark: black, dark brown (or white!). And finally, a cold person will have dark or blue eyes.
We may not meet all 3 requirements, but we will keep the predominant ones. In other words: if I have dark skin and dark - almost black - hair and eyes, I am a cold person.
And as colour therapy says, cold people will stay with cold tones and warm people with warm tones:
And what do we do with the extreme shades? In other words, can't cold people wear red, for example? No. Cool people can wear red tones, but we should always look at the red base . Continuing with the example: if it is an orange-based red, it will be ideal for warm people. If it is a fuchsia/purple based red, it will be ideal for cold people.

Which shade suits you best?
Shades that suit you best according to your skin tone
Light Skin
The first two girls (starting from the left) would be light skinned. These skins look good in grey, black, dark blue, red, off-white, metallic or golden tones. Within the warm tones , beige or more tanned tones would suit them.
Colours from left to right and from top to bottom: 0101 Ecru - 0802 Beige - 0004 Red - 0205 Grey - 0328 Navy - 0002 Black.
Pastel shades and pure white are ruled out, as these shades can have a blurred effect on your skin, preventing the face from standing out.
Colours from left to right and from top to bottom: 0001 White - 0826 Flesh - 0301 Light Blue
Intermediate Skin
Girls 3 and 4 (starting from the left, top image) would be of medium skin tone and tend to suit a wide range of colors: earth tones (camel, gold, chocolate), white, black, red and dark blue and shades pie.
Colors from left to right and top to bottom: 0001 White - 0301 Celeste - 0305 Ink Blue - 0004 Red - 0008 Brown - 0002 Black
Dark skin
Girl number 5 (starting from the left, top image) would be dark skin tone. These leathers tend to be well suited to tones that seek contrast. The shades of white, fuchsia and range of pinks, bright blue and black suit them well.
Colors from left to right and top to bottom: 0001 White - 0601 Salmon - 0901 Fuchsia - 1001 Aubergine - 0307 Blue - 0002 Black
Likewise, these people should avoid brown and gray tones , since they also produce that blurring effect mentioned above.
