Decision Steps

Understand warm and cool first

Warm directions lean yellow, gold, peach, and caramel. Cool directions lean blue, rose, plum, and grey. Learn this first before memorizing seasonal labels.

Use value to keep the face fresh

The same pink can be soft, muted, or berry-deep. If a color makes the skin look tired, it may be too dark, too grey, or too muddy for your contrast level.

Turn the palette into choices

A useful personal color result should guide lipstick, blush, hair color, tops, and accessories, not only show a beautiful color card.
