But the big question we always ask ourselves: What Colour Best Suits Me?
When it comes to choosing outfits and trying new looks it can sometimes be frustrating to find colour combos that work. We have all been there certain colours making us look washed out or drained, that is because our skin tones determine which colours look good!
Knowing your skin tone can help you understand which colour types work best for you.
Everyone’s base skin tone is either warm or cool! An easy way to check your skin tone is by examining the veins on the underside of your arm and wrist. If your veins appear more of a blue shade, you have a cool skin tone, veins with more of a green tint point to you having a warm skin tone!
Be sure to check out Boux Avenue's What Colour Suits Me Blog, which our consumers can enjoy to help them find their perfect colour.
Using a Colour wheel to determine the best colour combinations to wear
Using the colour wheel above can help you see which colours complement each other to result in a instaworthy look! Shades that are next to each other in the wheel naturally blend together. Choosing these colours is known as analogous combinations! If you prefer to be more daring and bold with your colours then choose opposite colours in the wheel, as these complement each other perfectly.
Cool Skin Tones
If you have a cool skin tone – colours with blue undertones will suit you best. Think purples, pinks, bright emerald greens and all shades of blues.
