Expert Guidelines for West African People

Bridge undertone science with the celebratory color language of Lagos, Accra, and Dakar.

Step 1

Assess inner arm, jawline, and shoulder to confirm true undertone.

Cool undertones suit Winter palettes featuring emerald, amethyst, and cool fuchsia.
Warm undertones thrive in Autumn palettes with mango, copper, and turmeric.
Neutral undertones often prefer Soft Autumn palettes of toasted almond, forest, and mulberry.

Step 2

Curate color stories for aso ebi sets, engagement looks, and daily wear.

Anchor vibrant prints with matte neutrals—charcoal suiting, espresso sandals, or matte cocoa makeup.
Coordinate gele, jewelry, and fabric trim within the same palette temperature for harmony.
Stack monochrome gradients—three tones of burgundy or teal—for ultra-polished ensembles.

Step 3

Use accessories and grooming to reinforce the palette.

Select metallics wisely: cool undertones shimmer in silver or white gold; warm undertones glow in bronze and gold.
Choose makeup finishes (velvet matte vs. high gloss) based on palette contrast to avoid glare.
Add palette-aligned beadwork or embroidery to elevate minimalist looks.
