There’s a certain elation you feel when you figure out which makeup looks complement your skin tone. Many people go through life choosing makeup based on trends or celebrity looks they love, but they don’t take their skin tone and undertones into consideration. This makes all the difference. If you have a warm skin tone, wearing warm colours and earthy hues will enhance your complexion and bring out your best features. Here are 8 warm tone makeup looks for every season.
What Is a Warm Skin Tone?
A warm skin tone has golden, peachy, or yellow undertones. You tan easily and rarely burn, tend to look better in gold jewelry than silver, and have green veins, as opposed to blue or purple. Warm skin tones look best in warmer colours such as reds, oranges, peaches, corals, and ambers, as well as earth tones like olive green, rust, and terracotta.
3 Makeup Dos & Don’ts for Warm Skin Tones
- Do: Look for a foundation with warm undertones. Your foundation should have yellow or golden undertones. This will help enhance the warm tones in your skin and create a more radiant complexion. Cool tone foundations have pink or red hues and can make your skin look pale and icy.
- Don’t: Use cool makeup all over (but you can still wear it). If you choose to wear cooler makeup tones on your eyes, balance it out with warmer tones on your cheeks and lips. Applying cool makeup tones all over your face can make you look ashy, so use it sparingly, but you don’t need to always shy away from it!
- Do: Use warm eyeshadow shades. When choosing your eyeshadow shades, stick to a warm palette including golds, rusts, and rosy pinks, as well as earthy tones like warm browns, terracottas and rusty oranges. You can also pull off bold shades like coral and deep burgundy.
