• Hold a white piece of paper up to
your face. Looking in a mirror, try to
see how your skin looks in contrast
to the white paper.

yellowish or sallow beside the white
paper
• Cool skin tone- skin appears pink,
rosy, or blueish-red
• Neutral skin tone- If you can't
determine any cast of yellow or pink
 BURN VS TAN

– If tan easily and rarely burn, you have more melanin and
you likely have a warm tone.
– If your skin burns and doesn't tanned, you have less
melanin and therefore a cooler skin tone.
– If you tan slowly, but don’t burn very often, you’re most
likely neutral.

what you like best, but what makes you look best, like glowing and
