Warm colours that suit warm skin tones

A warm complexion obviously calls for a warm coloured wardrobe, think: olive green, oker yellow, orange, red, gold, deep turquoise and moss green. Neutral colours also work very well, so look to add clothing items in brown, cream and taupe tones. The question is though, when do you know if you’ve got a warm complexion?

Your skin has a green, yellow or olive undertone. You can see this by looking at the veins in your wrists, are they more of a green colour? In that case, you’ve definitely got a warm undertone.

You’re dark blond or dark brunette.

You have brown or green eyes.
