Which colours suit me? Skin tone, undertone and colour analysis
The shades that suit your skin, the haircut that suits your face, and how Kween finds both from one selfie.

Which colours suit my skin tone?
Your undertone matters more than how light or dark your skin is. Warm undertones (golden, peachy) glow in earthy, yellow-based colours: olive, rust, mustard, camel, terracotta, cream and warm teal. Cool undertones (pink, rosy) suit blue-based colours: emerald, sapphire, berry, fuchsia, pure white and icy pastels. Neutral undertones can wear most of both. Check a colour in daylight, held right under your chin: if your skin looks clearer and your eyes brighter, it suits you. Fluntr does this from one selfie: Kween reads your undertone, then uses your colours in every outfit she picks and everything she shops for.

How do I find my skin undertone?
Four quick tests, in daylight, without make-up. Look at the veins on your wrist: greener means warm, bluer or purple means cool, both means neutral. Hold gold and then silver jewellery near your face: whichever looks more natural points to warm or cool. Compare a pure white and an off-white fabric under your chin: cool tones suit pure white, warm tones suit cream. And think about the sun: if you tan easily and rarely burn, you are more likely warm or neutral. Many Indian skin tones are warm, or neutral with an olive cast.

What colours suit dusky or dark skin?
Rich, saturated colours and clean contrast: emerald, cobalt, fuchsia, mustard, tangerine, maroon, and crisp white or cream. Metallics, especially gold and copper, look great. Colours very close to your own skin tone (some beiges, taupes and muddy browns) can blend in near the face, so break them up with a brighter layer or accessory.

Which colours should I avoid wearing near my face?
The ones that make your skin look grey, sallow or tired in daylight. For warm undertones that is often icy grey, cool lilac and stark blue-pinks; for cool undertones, orange-browns, mustard and khaki. Neon is hard on most people. You do not have to give these up: wear them below the waist (trousers, skirts, shoes) and keep a flattering colour near your face.

Does colour analysis actually work?
As a guide, yes. Seasonal systems (spring, summer, autumn, winter and their sub-types) are one way of grouping colours by warmth, depth and brightness; the useful part is simply checking colours next to your face in good light and keeping the ones that work. The real payoff is a wardrobe that combines: when most of what you own sits in the same family of colours, almost everything goes with everything.

Which hairstyle suits my face shape?
Work out the shape first: compare the length of your face with its width, then look at the jaw and forehead. Oval faces suit almost anything. Round faces look longer with height on top and a bit of angle: a quiff, a side part, or long layers that fall below the chin. Square faces soften with texture, side parts and waves around the jaw. Heart-shaped faces suit chin-length cuts, side-swept fringes and fullness lower down. Oblong faces look best with width at the sides and a fringe rather than extra height. Work with your hair texture: a style that fights wavy or curly hair needs daily effort. In Fluntr, Kween reads your face shape from one selfie, suggests three styles with exactly what to ask your barber or salon for, and can show one on your own photo before the haircut.

Can Fluntr tell my face shape?
Yes. Take one selfie facing the camera in daylight, hair off your face, no sunglasses. Kween tells you your face shape and why, three hairstyles that suit it and your hair texture with what to ask for, the styles to skip, a beard and grooming guide if you wear one, and the frames and necklines that flatter your face. The selfie is read once and deleted; only the result is kept, and only if you keep a style profile. You can also see a hairstyle drawn on your own photo before you cut it.

Can an app tell which colours suit me from a selfie?
Yes, roughly, if the photo is good: daylight, no filter, no heavy make-up, facing a window. Phone cameras adjust white balance, so a selfie under a yellow bulb reads warmer than you are. In Fluntr, Kween reads your skin tone and undertone from one selfie, only after you say yes, and from then on uses those colours for your daily outfit, your event outfits and anything she shops for.
