The most flattering bikinis to wear usually perform well in three categories: fit, style, and color. Showing off your bikini-ready body is already one task, and the key to all these elements requires balance. Many of the largest make-up companies will refer to beige, ebony, ivory, and skin tones. Knowing how to match the different shades of color will ensure you find the best color bikini that suits you.
Before we get into the choice of color, let’s just get the other two categories out of the way,

In the fit category, ensure that our most flattering curves and that beach booty are emphasized. Knowing your body is part of recognizing which fit is best. Be body confident!

Find the color that matches your skin tone
When it comes to the color of your bikini, this brings a whole new dimension of fun. The color is often the first element you think of when shopping for the perfect bikini. Finding the best color bikini that suits you starts with understanding one of the most beautiful parts of our body; your skin honey!
Every color ever imagined encompasses a world of shades. And getting to know your ideal shade is part of the process of discovering which colors and their shades suit you.
We all know the colors of the rainbow but do you know about ROY G. BIV? It’s the easiest way to remember your color options.

Truth be told some of these colors will mix well and fuse with your skin tone. When matching the perfect shade of color to your skin tone, remember there’s a color that’s most suitable for you. You can always refer to the Colour Wheel when you’re looking for more options.
The color wheel is designed to match different colors together (from across the wheel) that complement and further enhance each other. It’s a balanced symphony of colors that reveals combinations that are super pleasant to the eyes.
Identify your undertone
The tone of your skin is not the only element that comes into play when determining the best color of bikini you choose to wear. You need to identify the undertone of your skin to truly make the best match.
Most people have one of three undertones: warm, cool, and neutral. The undertone of your skin is something that never changes whereas the tone of your skin can change especially when exposed to different levels of UV or sun exposure.
Categorize your veins
How do you know what your undertone is? One way is to categorize your veins. Yes, it sounds weird but if you have green veins, you have warm undertones. If they’re blue you have cool undertones. If you have both-guess what? You’re neutral!
Do you have the golden touch?
Do you look better in gold or silver? This can be another way to identify your undertone because it’s said that gold can bring out the warmth in you if you have warm undertones and silver is considered to influence cool undertones.
Choose your colors from the warm or cool spectrum
Once you know what your undertone is you can choose colors that accentuate your natural radiance. People with warm undertones can choose from the warmer side of the color spectrum.
You can then choose the color based on your skin tone.
