What is Pink Skin Tone?
If you have this beautiful skin tone and you are not happy about it, let me remind you there are millions of people dying to have this calm skin tone. Many famous brand foundations are available, that can make a natural blush in your skin tone by using a pink foundation, no matter what your actual skin tone is.
Wearing the right makeup and colors that accentuate your skin tone is essential for you to attain an attractive look. Though I have met some of my clients who do not like having this skin tone, explaining to them usually helps increase their confidence a lot.
The fastest method to know your skin tone, which I usually use on my clients, as a dermatologist, is to look at the veins on your wrist. If the color of the veins on your wrist are blue, you have a pink skin tone. And, if the color of veins is green, you are yellow skin tone.
On the other hand, if you get tan easily instead, then you are a yellow skin tone. And, if you are still not sure, then another way is to apply a stripe of pink foundation on one cheek and yellow stripe on the other cheek and comparing it. Also, make sure to have make up free face while applying a line of foundation.
Ethnicities of Pink Skin Tone
Usually, these people have blue, grey, or green eye colors. As for hair, blonde, red, or brown hair color are common among them. Even though it is quite a rare skin tone, it is quite common among Irish and English. As most of them naturally have blonde hair too.
But you don’t have to depend upon your genes if you want to have pink shade in your skin. Using pink tone foundation and proper makeup can give you this look too. But, in case you do have natural pink skin color and you want to cancel it, then you can use a yellow foundation with the mixture of shade you want.

If colors are matched, according to occasion and skin complexion, it can make the person looks extremely attractive.

Disadvantages of pink skin tone
Even with the number of advantages, this skin color also has some problems, which can not be overlooked. Some of these disadvantages are given below:
Sunburn:
It is really easy to get a sunburn, if stayed under the sun for a long time. Hence, it is necessary to avoid the sun, and staying under it for a long time should also be avoided. Plus, wearing sunscreen is a must.
Difficult to tan:
Another disadvantage is that it is tough to get tan, unlike yellow skin tone. And, people often love tan because it makes you look healthy. But, contrary to the belief that only brown skin is healthy. Rosy complexion also gives a healthy look to the face.
Skin problems:
People also have sensitive skin, which is prone to getting acne and other skin problems. This is one of the reasons that they quickly get sunburn.
Less melanin:
Having pale skin, undoubtedly, means that you have a lesser amount of pigment, known as melanin. As this pigment, melanin is in more amount in brown skin tones. Hence, it is strictly advised to use more fresh vegetables and fruits to keep your skin healthy and also to avoid the sun. Lesser melanin is the reason for sunburns. Another example of this is the olive skin tone.
Skin cancer:
According to researches, people with pink skin tone have a higher risk of skin cancer. But it is also due to the reason that people try to get an artificial tan. And, everyone knows that artificial tan, even if it does not give you tan, it does give you skin cancer. So, keep that in mind and take precautions.
How to take care of your pink skin tone?
As mentioned above, taking extra care of a pink skin tone is necessary. Now, the question arises, how do we do it? No worries, I am not going to complicate it at all. Just do the basic but necessary things of taking care of the skin.
Make sure to wash your face twice a day and exfoliating it from time to time. Also, moisturizing your skin after exfoliation is the key. Plus, never go out under the sun without wearing sunscreen. It is a must! Otherwise, those horrible sunburns, take days to disappear.

It is necessary to be aware of the colors, which go with this skin complexion. I have briefly explained below about the colors which complement rosy skin tones:
Clothes:
Blue, grey, violet, pink, and purple are your colors if you are pink skin toned. You can look at the celebrities mentioned above and note these are the colors they wear the most. These cool shade colors go natural with your skin while giving you this clean, bold look.

Wearing silver or white gold jewelry make your pink skin tone shine more. It accentuates your eye and hair color as well. That’s why even among celebrities’ silver jewelry is much more popular than gold. Especially among celebrities who have this skin tone. You can even get green skin from wearing jewelry.
