For every girl who loves beauty, determining their skin tone, warm or cool, is a question.
Skin tone, also known as undertone, is the subtle shadow of color that peeks from beneath your skin’s surface. Unlike our complexion which can change with our physical condition, undertone will remain the same no matter how much sun we get, even if we’re pale in the winter and tan in the summer. There are three different undertones – cool, warm, and neutral. Knowing skin tone plays a significant role in making fashion choices including having right lipstick color, figuring out which hair color is most flattering, and know which colors you should wear.
Therefore, for those who want to try nautral hair wigs, knowing their skin tones and choosing wig color according to their skin tone is important.
How to Detect Your Skin Tone
There are three ways to find what your skin tone is.
1. The Jewellery Test
Hold a sheet of gold foil in front of your face. If it makes your skin pop, you are probably warm. And if it makes your skin grayish, then hold silver next to your skin. If the refletion from the silver makes your skin glow, you have a cool skin tone. And if you can wear either, then you are probably neutral.
2. Check Your Veins
Flip your arm over and look at the veins that mark your wrist. If they appear blue or purple, it’s a sign that your skin is cool-toned, while green veins indicate warm-toned skin.
3. Hold a Piece of Paper
Hold a white piece of paper up to your face. Look in a mirror, and Observe how a piece of white paper looks against your skin in natural light. If it appears to have a yellow cast, you have a warm skin tone. On the other hand, you might have cool skin tone, when your face appears pink.
Choosing the Best Hair Color for Your Skin Tone
I guess you might have knowledge on your skin tone. Now let’s talk about the wig color works on you. There are many colorful human hair wigs in the market, but it doesn’t mean all of them are suitable for you. If your skin tone is neutral, forunately, every color works on you. The principle is: the paler your skin tone, the lighter you can go, and the darker your skin tone, the more pigment you will need in your hair color to balance it out.
Warm skin tones look better in warm wig color, such as copper, caramel, chocolate, chestnut or blonde wigs . They should avoid cool wig colors, such as platinum, ash, or jet black, as they can make them look pale or sallow.
Cool skin tones look best in colors like champagne, strawberry, ice and silver. They should avoid warm wig colors, such as golden, auburn, or orange, because they may look flushed or ruddy in these colors.
And If your skin tone is neutral, then congratulations, every color works on you.
Other Considerations

When necessary, we also need to try on some wig samples to find the most suitable wig for us. After all, the cost of a human hair wig is not a small account.
