Determine your skin's undertone with the vein or white shirt test. Some colors may look better on you depending on the undertone of your skin.

Colours that contrast with your skin-tone generally work best. For example, neon shades of orange and yellow will look best on dark skin, greens and blues pop on those with fair skin and bold jewel tones are best for paler skin.

How do I check which color suits me? ›
