What Color Looks Best On Your Skin????

In order to know what colors will look best on you, you must identify your undertone.  Your undertone can be Warm or Cool.  Once you know what your undertone is you can determine your season, thus telling you  your best clothing color.  
Are you Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter?  
Your undertone has 3 pigments: Melanin which is Brown, Hemoglobin which is Red, and Carotene which is Yellow.  Red and Blue together makes purple which would mean your pigment is Cool, so, if you have more Melanin and Hemoglobin in your skin, you have Cool undertone.  If you have more Yellow, Carotene, your undertone is Warm.  

It is best to cleanse your face and look in the mirror at your skin.  You should be able to tell from this, but if you can't it is suggested that you place a white piece of paper next to the inner portion of your wrist to see if your skin gives off more blue or if it gives off more yellow (golden).  Blue signifies Cool which means your season will be either Summer or Winter.  Golden signifies Warm which means your season will be Spring or Autumn.  

Spring
Your skin tone is very golden.  Your skin may be golden brown, peachy ivory or a darker beige.  Your eyes are bright blue, dark blue, light brown  or clear blue. Your hair is strawberry or dark brown with red highlights, golden blonde or brown, or black.

Summer
Your skin tone appears blue based but has lighter beige overtones.   Your skin may be a pale beige, medium brown or even olive.  Your eyes are probably Hazel, soft brown, light blue or even soft gray.  Your hair tends to be strawberry blonde, golden brown, chestnut or red.  

Autumn
You have a yellow or golden tone to your skin. Your skin may be golden/peachy or beige. Your eyes are clear blue, green or even light or dark brown.  Your hair is red, strawberry blonde, or golden brown.
Winter
Your skin has a lot of blue in it.  Your skin can be really pale/milky white, beige, olive or even really true black.  Your eyes are dark blue or brown.  Your hair is medium brown or blonde. 
If you select colors that enhance your natural tones/beauty you will look dazzling in anything that you wear.  
Here are the colors for each season:
