Color of the Month: Match Your Skin Tone

Color of the Month: Match Your Skin Tone


3 minute read

The skin you're in is your greatest accessory! So why not show it off? Keep reading for the best color match for your skin tone (and the perfect headband to go with it)!

We know you love looks that compliment your natural assets. But how do you know what colors will work best for your unique skin shade? First, let's figure out whether you're in the "warm" or "cool" family!

The color of your skin is referred to as your "undertone", or the hue, and there's a super easy way to tell where you land on the scale in less than a second. Look at the inside of your wrist and check out your veins.

If your veins have a blue color, then you're in the "cool" family. This gives you a pink or rosy undertone.

If your veins have a green color, you're in the "warm" family. You'll have an apricot or gold undertone.

Next, within those two undertones there is a range of "fair", "medium" and "dark". This refers to how light to dark your skin tone is. 

Finally, the most fun part: let's go through each family and find the perfect shade for you, along with a color matched headband!


For fair, cool skin tone, temperatures of pink sits perfectly on you. Can't Keep My Plants to Myself
For fair, warm skin tone, jewel tones such as emerald will bring out your shade. Hunter Green 


For medium and cool undertones, a pale grey will look stunning. Harvest On Grey
For medium and warm shades, a metallic or copper will wow the crowd. Copper Canyon

For dark, cool hue, classic red can't be compared on your skin. Sprinkled With Love
For dark, warm tones, yellow will look radiant on you. Anna Floral on Ivory
