Cynde's Tips to Determine Your Skin Tone

Color by Cynde Watson™ is a brand for all women. Cynde has made it simple for you to determine your skin tone.

Most skin tone shades are either warm or cool. Your skin tone is determined by your facial coloring or undertone – regardless of your natural hair color, eye color or nationality.

Cynde has taken the guesswork out of determining your skin tone and has selected pencils and pencil kits that are right for you. Just follow these simple guidelines to find which skin tone category suits you best:

Cool Skin Tones
  • You see pink/rosy/red tones when you look in the mirror.
  • Jewel-tone colors look the most natural on you such as pink, cherry red, amethyst, cobal, forest green, pearl, deep mahogany brown, pewter and platinum.

You’re fair with pinkish beige skin = COOL / BEIGE

You’re medium with ruddy sand skin = COOL / SAND

You’re dark with rustic-brown skin = COOL / BROWN

Warm Skin Tones
  • You see yellow/golden tones when you look in the mirror.
  • Earth-tone colors look the most natural on you such as peach, brick red, plum, camel, olive green, bronze, gold, chocolate brown and cream.

You’re fair with peachy beige skin = WARM / BEIGE

You’re medium/tan with olive sand skin = WARM / SAND

You’re dark with golden brown skin = WARM / BROWN

How will you know if you’ve chosen the CORRECT skin tone category?
  • Your skin tone will appear healthy and radiant.
  • Your eyes will appear bright and awake.
  • The natural highlights in your hair will appear more reflective.
How will you know if you’ve chosen the INCORRECT skin tone category?
  • Your skin tone will appear unhealthy and dull; skin imperfections will appear more obvious.
  • Your eyes will appear droopy and tired.
  • Your teeth can appear slightly discolored.
The above guidelines work for most women. However, some skin tone shades fall in between warm and cool due to sun exposure, self-tanners or coloring of hair.

If this is the case for you, stay as true to your natural undertone as possible when selecting your Cover & Blend Full Cover Pencil (foundation) shade. Then, use your Bronze & Glow Bronzer Pencil or Stain & Tint Blush Pencil to add wramth and color to your face.
