The right wig color can brighten your complexion and look completely natural; the wrong one can wash you out. The secret is matching the wig to your skin undertone, not just your skin shade. Here is how to find your most flattering color.
First, find your undertone
Look at the veins on your inner wrist in natural light. Bluish or purple veins usually mean a cool undertone; greenish veins mean a warm undertone; if you cannot tell, you are likely neutral and can wear most shades.
Best wig colors for warm undertones
Warm undertones glow in golden and earthy shades: honey blonde, caramel highlights, warm browns, copper, and burgundy. Warm ombre blends are especially flattering.
Best wig colors for cool undertones
Cool undertones are flattered by ash and neutral shades: jet and natural black, ash blonde, cool brown, and true red. Avoid overly golden tones, which can clash.
Neutral undertones
Lucky you — most colors work. Use your wardrobe and eye color to decide, and feel free to experiment with grey or bold fashion shades.
Tips for going lighter or bolder
- Ease in with highlights or ombre before committing to an all-over light color.
- Frame the face: lighter pieces around the hairline brighten your complexion.
- Bold colors like red and burgundy read best in defined textures — see curly and wave styles.
