How To Pick Glasses Frames To Go With Skin Tone
Author : AlexFc Thomason
When selecting a pair of eyeglasses, most people know to choose a pair that matches their face shape. Face shape is only the first thing to consider, though. After you’ve determined your face shape and the style that best suits you, it’s time to consider another important factor in selecting eyeglasses: skin tone. If you think that’s being too picky, you’re underestimating the power of color. Everyone knows to match clothes because clothes compliment body shape and flow together in colors that make sense. Eyeglasses are worn on your face and because of this, matching them to your skin tone is essential for anyone who is serious about fashion.
Undertones: Are you Warm or Cool?
First you will need to figure out whether you’re warm or cool. This doesn’t mean you have to soul search and decide whether you’re friendly or aloof. It means that skin tones come in two packages: Warm and cool.
Look at your face. Pink and blue tones mean you’re in the cool population. If you have peach or yellow tones, you’re in the warm population. This means nothing until you start looking for eyeglasses.
Once you know your skin tone, you’re in business. It’s time to research the color of eyeglasses that will make you look your best. It’s impossible to list all glasses that go best with your skin tone, but here are a few suggestions.
For warm tones, remember the three C’s. They are camel, coral, and copper. Start with those colors and see if they might be the eyeglass colors of your dreams. You can only pick one, though. Sorry.
If you’re cool, you have options too. Black, plum, and pink are colors to experiment with. There are many other websites on the internet that will teach you more skin colors that match your skin tone. Keep researching.
The Third Skin Tone: Aging
As skin ages, it changes. That’s basically what aging is. We change (unfortunately). That means aging skin tones are separate from warm or cool. If you have aging skin, you’re in a new category and you have to pick eyeglasses that fall outside the realm of warm or cool tones. This is a good thing. You can make deemphasize the aging skin by brightening your face with livelier eyeglass colors. Purple and red colors will brighten the color of your face and fight off the aging. In other words, just because you’re a little older than some doesn’t mean you can’t be just as beautiful.
Things to Remember
Everyone you’ll ever meet sees your face. It’s one of the certainties in this life. If you wear eyeglasses, choosing the right color is just as important as choosing the right shape. It guarantees you that people will always see you at your best. To review the skin tone rules, here they are once again. Determine your skin tone, research eyeglass colors that compliment your skin tone, and if you have aging skin, always choose bright colors to make you appear just as young as you feel.
