Everywhere we look we see in color, and whether we are hanging out or going out on a coveted date night, the right colors make us pop. But how do you know what colors to pair with your skin tone? Here are six steps to finding your perfect colors.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Go to your local paint store and get a color wheel.<\/h3>\n<p>Lowes or Home Depot has them, or there are paint sample cards you can pick out as well. I like the paint wheel because you have all of the shades and tones of each and every color imaginable all together.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Find your natural blush shade.<\/h3>\n<p>After washing your face find a place in your house with a lot of natural light. Go to the pink section of your color wheel and hold it up to your cheek to determine the exact color matching your natural blush. On the paint wheel you will see that color along with other colors in the same shade, take that section out of the wheel and set it aside.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"center\" title=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mops.org\/images\/cms_images\/four-steps-to-your-favorite-colors-1.jpg&quot; \/&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;3. Hair!&lt;\/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;Look at your natural shade and if you color your hair look at the color you have in your hair. This can get tricky because your hair color can be the wrong shade for your skin tone so before proceeding with this step, verify with a color expert you are rocking the right tones in your hair. Then proceed to find your hair color\/colors in the color wheel.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;center&quot; title=&quot;&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>4. Find the color or colors that make up your eyes.<\/h3>\n<p>We all have a few different colors or shades in our eyes and this might be a bit more challenging to find on your own so have someone with a good eye help you. In natural light, find your eye color in your color wheel.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"center\" title=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mops.org\/images\/cms_images\/four-steps-to-your-favorite-colors-3.jpg&quot; \/&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;5. Lips!&lt;\/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lips can be fun but also a little tricky when you wear lipstick or lip-gloss, but let\u2019s keep this simple and just find the natural shade of your lips to include in your swatches.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;    &lt;img title=&quot;&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=\" alt=\"\" width=\"309\" height=\"464\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mops.org\/images\/cms_images\/four-steps-to-your-favorite-colors-5_alt.jpg&quot; height=&quot;464&quot; width=&quot;309&quot; \/&gt;                         Wrong                                      Right&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;6. Skin!&lt;\/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;Skin tone is key in choosing any color but find the exact skin tone of your face from your color wheel.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now that you have several different swatches, hole punch and tie all of the colors together and put it in your purse. This way you will always have the perfect colors to reference while shopping. You can hold your card up to different tops and jewelry to see if the colors flatter, or if they compete with the shades you have taken from the color wheel. You can also hold something to your face (in natural light) and ask yourself how it makes you feel. Asking yourself that question can be a great indication if that color is the right one for you. Another great question to ask yourself is, will people see me in this or will they see the color? The answer to that should be - they see you because the color flatters you!&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;center&quot; title=&quot;&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Do you see Tracy Reece or the color she is wearing?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Growing up in a small northern Minnesota town, Ashley Lundgren has always had one very unique gift, helping others find great style!
