Choosing the best color for your skin tone.

Besides the cut of your clothing color may be the most important element of choosing the best pieces to have in your wardrobe. After doing some research we narrowed the thousands of tips we found to just a few simple steps.

Step 1. Start with a clean face and your hair pulled back.

Step 2. Find a pure white towel or any other white material you can get your hands on and wrap it around your face.

Step 3. Here's the fun part- With the towel wrapped around your face like a crazy person take a look in the mirror.

Here are some leading ladies with cool undertones.

For cool undertones try wearing jewel tones like these:

1. Josie Moran 

    Product : 100% pure Argan oil 

- great for all skin types ( don't let the oil word mislead you ). Super great source of antioxidants / fatty acids. Use on face / hair and nails. Will give you glowing radiant skin!!!! And I swear its helped my eyelashes to grow - i always brush my closed lids with the excess that's left in my hands.  I can't love this product anymore!!!!!

 

2. Dr Dennis Gross 

 Product : Alpha beta daily facial peels

        

- two step daily process. Like a facial in a can. Contains alpha hydroxy acid to exfoliate and erase fine lines. Clears imperfections, controls oil, minimizes pores. It's good for even sensitive skin - vegan and paraben free!

3. Laura Mercier

 Product : flawless skin face polish

-Creamy face scrub.  Has tiny microbeads that are a gentle exfoliator /  Good for even sensitive skin. I use every other day - because I also use the peel pads above. Too much exfoliate will actually do the reserve and possibly cause breakouts and sensitive skin. 

 4. Garnier ( drugstore find!!)

    Product : BB cream 

- all in one face product. Acts as a primer, foundation, serum , and sunblock ( if it contains sunscreen). Great for everyday wear. can be used like a tinted moisturizer ( more coverage than a tinted moisturizer ). Cheap!!!! 

 

 5. Bobbi brown

  Product : cream blush

- it's a multi functional  item - use on cheeks and lips!! Creates a dewy flush look. Silky smooth texture. Can wear on top of bb cream or with a full face of makeup !  Color range is wide - most any skin time can use it. Apply: dot ring and index fingers in it - dot on to cheeks and blend well. Apply again for more color.
