Focus on Color
Before choosing colors in anything you wear, whether it's clothing or makeup or hair dye, it is important to find out if warm colors or cool colors look better on you. How our skin responds to them, and whether they bring out the best or worst in our appearance. This has to do with your natural coloring. For example, most people with black hair look better in cool colors. Many redheads and women with red highlights in their hair will look better in warm colors. Cool tones lack the color yellow.
Warm colors are vivid in nature. They are bold and energetic. They also tend to be emotionally uplifting.
Cool colors are soothing in nature. They give an impression of calm and are rarely overpowering. They tend to make us feel relaxed.

So by now I am sure you are wondering how to find out if you are a cool colored woman or a warm one.
It's not always easy. Some people can wear both and look great. But most of us are not so lucky. One easy way to determine whether which tones suite you best is with jewelry.
Try a silver bracelet in one hand, and a gold one in another. If the gold bracelet brings out the color of your skin and stand out more, you are warm. If the silver looks better on you, you are cool.
If your still stuck, try putting a sheet of gold paper under your hand, and a sheet of silver paper. Which ever makes you glow is the color scheme you should stick to. This is particularly helpful when choosing a hair color, although knowing this will help you in all of your fashion and style choices.
