Expert Guidelines for White People

Use these undertone markers and wardrobe tips to dial in palettes that bring luminosity to lighter complexions.

Step 1

Undertone Checkpoints

Look beyond surface redness—test the jawline, ear, and neck to catch olive or neutral undertones hiding under pink cheeks.

  • If veins appear blue-violet and skin burns before tanning, start with a Summer or Winter palette test.
  • Olive or peachy beige undertones show up when gold jewelry looks soft rather than brassy; explore Soft Autumn or Spring variants.
  • Freckles and high redness often benefit from muted palettes that de-emphasize contrast—try Soft Summer or Soft Autumn first.
Step 2

Palette Direction

Match chroma and contrast to eye depth, hair level, and brow definition.

  • Ash blonde and icy eyes thrive in cool, high-clarity palettes like True Summer or True Winter.
  • Golden blondes or strawberry tones often glow in Light Spring palettes with buttercream, coral, and mint.
  • Medium ash brunettes gain polish with Soft Summer palettes that lean into dusty mauves, slate, and misty teal.
Step 3

Wardrobe Strategy

Reduce visual noise while keeping outfits dimensional.

  • Anchor outfits with soft neutrals (stone, mushroom, vanilla) and add two accent colors max.
  • Swap stark black for espresso, deep navy, or softened charcoal to keep features from disappearing.
  • Use texture—knits, boucle, brushed finishes—to create depth when palettes stay light or muted.
