There are six common skin tone types: fair, light olive, medium olive, dark olive, deep brown, and black. It’s important to be able to identify your skin tone type because it can help you determine which beauty products and shades of clothing will look the best on you.
If you have fair skin, you’ll want to choose beauty products and clothing in shades that are light or cool. If you have light olive skin, you’ll want to choose beauty products and clothing in shades that are olive or warm. If you have medium olive skin, you’ll want to choose beauty products and clothing in shades that are olive or neutral. If you have dark olive skin, you’ll want to choose beauty products and clothing in shades that are dark or neutral. If you have deep brown skin, you’ll want to choose beauty products and clothing in shades that are deep, warm, or neutral. And if you have black skin (which is very rare), you’ll want to choose beauty products and clothing in shades that are dark or cool.
Of course, these are just general guidelines. There are a lot of different shades within each skin tone type, so you may need to experiment a bit to find the shades that look the best on you. But once you figure out your skin tone type, it’ll be much easier to find products and clothes that make you look and feel your best.
