Colour and Me This Summer: Skin Tone Guide

Do you have pale skin or are you blessed with olive undertones? We show you how to get the most out of your skin tone this summer, from clothing to cosmetics, it’s all about colouring you this summer season!

Your skin is like: Lucy Liu
Asian skin tends to have yellow undertones and pale skin, most often with dark eyes. I really love working with the contrast on this skin tone, and find that rosey toned blushes, bronzers and concealors impart a great “pep” to the skin, whilst you can make dark eyes pop with shimmery shades and pale hues. When it comes to clothing, I find that pale plush hues really do work well, whilst clean colours like black, red and true blue are a striking contrast.


 
1: Cherub top $139.90 from Lippy
2: Ellen top $69.90 from Principals
3: Clarins La Rouge lipstick $35.00 from Adore Beauty
4: Guerlain Les Meteorites powder $135.00 from Guerlain stockists
 
Your skin is like: Hayden Panettiere
Pale skin tones like Hayden’s are great candidates for a summer tan. Bronzers tend to even this skin tone out, while adding brown pigment which absorbs more light making the skin seem smoother and more even. When it comes to clothes look for shades which warm the skin tone, such as those with peachy or pinky undertones. Golds and yellows can also be great choices.



1: Mink Pink tee $30.00 from Wild Pair
2: Cantaloupe Maxi dress AU$175.00 from Mijo
3: ModelCo Summer bronze $58.00 from Adore Beauty
4: Johnsons Holiday Skin from Johnson and Johnson
 
Your skin is like: Jennifer Lopez
Olive skin tones really benefit from bronze makeup as a neutral tone, the little bit of extra light and depth is the perfect match for their cramel undertones. Their naturally warm skin tone can deal well with cool colours like greens and crisp whites as well as wear warm corals and reds. 


 
1: Nars Fall 2008 lipstick colours $62.00 from Mecca Cosmetica
2: Pleated Bust Chiffon dress $139.90 from Portmans
3: Dollhouse Tux top $69.90 from Lippy
4: Nars Unconditional Love eyeshadow duo $95.00 from Mecca Cosmetica
 
Your skin is like: Shavaughn Ruakere
Maori and Pacific Island skin tones tend to have almost yellow undertones mixed with darker pigments. To get the best out of your skin we suggest a little illumination and soft translucent powders. You can carry deep wine, burgandies and mossy green shades in both cosmetics and clothing.
