Expert Guidelines for Black People

Audit undertone, contrast, and reflectivity to build palettes that intensify glow instead of muting it.

Step 1

Undertone Signals

Use natural light and multiple checkpoints—jawline, under-eye, and palms—to decode undertone accurately.

  • Cool undertones show violet-blue depth; silver jewelry and cobalt test strips stay luminous.
  • Warm undertones lean golden or red-copper; amber, marigold, and tomato reds harmonize easily.
  • Neutral or olive undertones balance both; test deep emerald, rich plum, and saddle brown to confirm.
Step 2

Palette Building

Match chroma to natural contrast in features and hair.

  • High contrast (dark skin, bright eyes/teeth) loves Winter palettes—think electric fuchsia, sapphire, icy lime.
  • Medium contrast glows in Autumn palettes with burnished gold, paprika, and deep teal.
  • Low contrast pairs with refined, velvety palettes: Soft Autumn’s roasted almond, aubergine, evergreen.
Step 3

Styling Moves

Layer textures and strategic highlights to add dimension.

  • Introduce sheen with satin, lamé, or subtle metallic threading to catch light on camera.
  • Keep core neutrals saturated—espresso, onyx, oxblood—then add one neon or jewel accent for punch.
  • Match makeup undertones to skin first, then amplify lips or eyes with analogous palette shades.

Your season

True Summer

True Summers have cool undertones with medium contrast levels. This season is characterized by soft, muted colors that beautifully complement your natural coloring.

Best colors

These soft blues, gentle pinks, lavender and sage greens enhance your natural beauty. They bring out the best in your complexion and create perfect harmony with your cool undertones.

Undertone

Cool

Your skin has beautiful cool undertones, meaning colors with blue or purple bases will be most harmonious on you. Avoid warm and golden tones.

Contrast

Medium

You look best in colors that are neither too bright nor too dark. Medium intensity colors create the perfect balance with your natural coloring.
