[K-BEAUTY 1] Personal Color in K-Beauty: Let’s Shake Things Up! πŸ’–✨


Alright, bestie, if you’re into K-beauty, you’ve probably heard of personal color—aka the secret sauce to looking effortlessly bomb. Traditionally, it’s all about warm vs. cool tones, based on your skin’s undertone, which supposedly dictates what hair, makeup, and fashion shades you should wear.

But hold up—do we really need to be locked into just one category forever? Nah. Instead of letting your skin tone decide everything, why not flip the script and explore makeup through warm-tone and cool-tone vibes? Trust me, it’s a total game-changer. πŸ”₯❄️

The OG Personal Color System: Warm vs. Cool

Here’s how the classic system works:

  • Warm Tone: Your skin has golden, peach, or reddish undertones. Think sun-kissed goddess energy. Colors like orange, brown, gold, and olive green make you look like a whole snack. πŸ‘✨

  • Cool Tone: Your skin has pink, blue, or neutral undertones. It’s giving icy royalty vibes. Blues, silvers, pastels, and lavender are your BFFs. ❄️πŸ‘‘

But let’s be real—this method can feel super limiting and lowkey outdated. With so many different skin tones and features out there, we need a more flexible and fun way to slay our looks!

A New Vibe: Warm-Tone vs. Cool-Tone Makeup

Instead of boxing yourself into a single category, why not experiment with warm-tone and cool-tone makeup styles?


         

  • Warm-Tone Makeup: Golden highlighter, peachy blush, warm brown eyeshadow, coral or brick-red lips. Basically, it’s giving sunkissed, radiant, “I woke up like this” energy. ☀️πŸ”₯

  • Cool-Tone Makeup: Icy pink highlighter, lilac or frosty eyeshadow, mauve blush, cool red or berry lips. Think elegant, mysterious, and just a little main character energy. πŸ’œπŸ’‹

  •   


And the best part? You don’t have to pick just one. You can do both. No gatekeeping here—switch it up based on your mood!

Why This Slaps Harder than the Old System

  1. More Inclusive: Not everyone fits neatly into warm or cool tones. Some of us are a lil’ bit of both, and that’s totally fine. 🀷‍♀️

  2. Endless Creativity: Why limit yourself? Playing around with different color schemes lets you create any aesthetic you want, whenever you want.

  3. Trendier & More Fun: K-beauty is all about pushing boundaries. Mixing warm and cool tones keeps your style fresh and exciting.

So, What’s Your Move? πŸ€”

Instead of stressing over “Am I warm or cool-toned?” ask yourself, “Do I wanna rock a warm or cool-toned look today?”

See how much more fun that sounds? This way, your beauty routine becomes an adventure, not a rulebook.

At the end of the day, makeup is all about having fun, experimenting, and showing off your unique vibe. So whether you’re serving golden-hour realness or icy queen energy, just know—you’re killing it. πŸ’„✨
