Skin Tones Of Many Hues, Which Shade Are You?
From the palest porcelain to the deepest blue-brown, skin tones come
with unique assets and liabilities. There are 4 distinct skin tone
types that are based on how pigment responds to sunlight, and these
complexions are generally classified on a color intensity scale as:
Light (pale to porcelain), light brown (beige to tan), medium brown
(honey to milk chocolate), and dark brown (cocoa to blue-black). Each
group of tones has distinct features to consider in texture, makeup
selection and sun protection.
*Light ivory skin tones have a translucent texture with a minimal
amount of pigment in the cells. Thus, they have very little of a
natural SPF factor, so they need conscientious sun protection, to
avoid freckling and possible skin cancer. On the positive side, they
absorb more Vitamin D from sunlight, and heal with little or no
scarring.
*Light brown skin tones are thicker and more elastic than the light
tones, and contains more melanin in the cells. It is more even in
color and clear in texture, and also ages more slowly in the natural
state (without added sun damage) than the light tones, but it does
need continuous protection from the sun. If scarring occurs due to
injury or breakouts, they do fade to white over a period of time.
*Medium brown tones are rich in color, and tans easily. It ages even
more slowly in the natural state, and has an even higher degree of
resiliency. It is slower to burn in sun exposure, and generally has a
lower degree of risk for sun cancers than the lighter skin tones
because of the higher degree of natural SPF from more melanin in the
skin cells. One disadvantage is that scarring from acne, accidents,
and incisions gradually fade to a lighter color than the skin tone.
*Deep brown tones have the most melanin in the cells of all the skin
tones. It has the highest degree of natural SPF, and a smooth, firm
texture. Deep browns are burnished in color, and tans deeply. It is
difficult to gauge an injury to dark skins because any redness may not
show up until it is severe. Also, these tones are highly prone to
scarring that looks like a dark lesion, also known as keliods.
Finding The Beauty Within
All of these groups have a special radiance all their own, and each is
enhanced with a carefully chosen makeup palette. Knowing your skin
tone's special features can help you define your look when selecting
your foundation and color.
Light ivory skin tones enjoy a broad degree of color selection, but be
careful of intensity when applying. Too strong an application can
result in a hard looking appearance, so make sure any edges are
blended well. Light brown tones look great in both clear and muted
neutral colors to play up the radiance of this group, and lip colors
can be a bit more dramatic. Blending well is most important to achieve
an overall balance in the look, especially if you are using a stronger
lip color. Medium brown tones wear drama in color quite well. Rich
deep colors such as wine, plum, deep browns, and blue-gray are
excellent contrasts for this skin tone, and can add a touch of the
exotic in look. Deep browns can wear the most intense and vibrant of
colors, especially the blue-red undertones. Metallic colors also play
well on this skin tone. |
