Your glasses aren’t just an accessory—they’re the spotlight. The right frames amplify your features, elevate your style, and give your confidence an instant boost. To choose glasses that complement your skin tone, start by identifying whether your skin has warm, cool, or neutral undertones and then select frame colors that harmonize well.
In this guide, we’ll help you understand your skin tone, recommend frame colors tailored for warm, cool, and neutral skin tones, and also touch on lens color and face shape considerations to make your eyewear selection effortless and flattering.
Understanding Your Skin Tone
.Before you pick frames, know your undertone—it’s the secret to finding glasses that don’t just fit, they glow with you. Most people fall into one of three categories: warm, cool, or neutral.
- Warm undertones typically have yellow, golden, or peachy hues. Your veins may appear greenish, and you usually look best in gold jewelry.
- Cool undertones often have pink, red, or blue hues. Your veins might look blue or purple, and silver jewelry tends to complement your skin better.
- Neutral undertones are a balanced mix of warm and cool. You might find that both gold and silver jewelry suit you.
To find your undertone, look at the veins on your wrist under natural light, or consider which jewelry looks better on you.
At CHROMA, we carry seven exclusive collections, each crafted for individuality and bold style. Whether you’re drawn to the avant-garde of L.A. Eyeworks, the Parisian artistry of Lafont, or the minimalist luxury of Lindberg, we have a line that elevates both your look and your expression.
Picking Frame Colors for Warm Skin Tones
Warm undertones radiate golden energy. Choose frames that match your glow and turn up the heat.
Best Colors
Think rich earth tones—brown, honey, tortoiseshell, olive. These shades don’t just flatter, they heat up your look. Warm metallics such as gold, copper, and bronze also work well.
Frame Lines for Warm Undertones
- Lafont – Parisian artistry with rich, warm palettes.
- Kirk & Kirk – Vibrant acrylic frames that amplify golden tones.
- Etnia Barcelona – Bold, colorful designs that celebrate warmth and individuality.
Colors to Avoid
Cool shades like icy blues, silver, or stark black can sometimes create a harsh contrast against warm skin and may wash you out.
Warm skin tones pair especially well with classic tortoiseshell frames, which blend warmth and versatility.
Picking Frame Colors for Cool Skin Tones
Cool undertones shine brightest in icy, jewel-inspired shades. Frames that make your features pop with confidence.
Best Colors
Cool undertones sparkle in jewel tones. Sapphire, emerald, plum—frames that make your features pop with effortless polish.
Frame Lines for Cool Undertones
- Blackfin – Sleek titanium frames with clean, cool sophistication.
- Lindberg – Minimalist Danish luxury that pairs perfectly with cooler hues.
- Tom Ford – Timeless glamour in black, silver, and jewel-inspired tones.
Colors to Avoid
Avoid overly warm colors like orange, bright yellow, or tomato red, as they can clash with your cooler complexion.
Frames with cool tones can make your eyes pop and balance your natural coloring.
Choosing Frame Colors for Neutral Skin Tones
Neutral undertones? You’re the wild card. Almost every shade works, so let your personality lead the way.
Best Colors
With neutral undertones you get the best of both worlds. From rose gold to soft pinks, muted blues to bold black, your palette is wide open.
Frame Lines for Neutral Undertones
- L.A. Eyeworks – Bold, avant-garde shapes that work across all palettes.
- Tom Ford – Classic, versatile designs that flatter any undertone.
- Etnia Barcelona – Eclectic, playful colors that let your personality shine.
Experiment With Style
Neutral skin tones offer flexibility to try bold or pastel colors depending on your style preferences.
Since neutral undertones allow for versatility, you can let your personality shine through your frame choice.
How Do I Choose My Lens Color for My Skin Tone?
Lens tint isn’t just a style choice—it’s your secret weapon. The right shade sharpens your vision, boosts comfort, and completes your look, especially when it comes to sunglasses or blue-light filtering glasses.
- Warm skin tones: Brown or amber tinted lenses complement warm complexions and enhance contrast in bright light.
- Cool skin tones: Gray or green lenses work well for cool undertones, providing true color perception. They’re also great for reducing glare.
- Neutral skin tones: Neutral tones can comfortably wear most lens colors, so consider your lifestyle needs like sun exposure or screen time.
Consult with your optician to select lens tints that not only suit your skin tone but also your daily activities.
How Do You Know What Glasses Match Your Face Shape?
Color sets the tone, but shape defines your style. Here’s how to match frames to your face and flatter every angle:
- Round faces: Go angular. Square or rectangular frames sharpen soft curves and bring instant definition.
- Square faces: Balance bold jawlines with round or oval frames that soften edges while keeping your look polished.
- Oval faces: Lucky you—almost every shape works. Play it safe with classics or go daring with oversized or geometric frames for extra flair.
- Heart-shaped faces: Choose frames that are wider at the bottom or with low-set temples to balance a broad forehead and highlight your cheekbones.
Pairing the right shape with colors that suit your skin tone creates eyewear that doesn’t just fit—it flatters, frames, and elevates.
