Finding the perfect hijab color for your skin tone made simple. Shop beautiful hijabs in every color at Hijabinist - Pakistan's favorite hijab store.
Choosing the right hijab color doesn't have to be hard. We've all had that moment when someone says "That color looks so good on you!" and wondered why. The secret is simple - some colors just work better with your skin than others.
Whether you're picking a soft modal hijab for daily wear or a pretty silk hijab for special days, the right color can make you look bright, fresh, and beautiful.
In this easy guide, we'll show you exactly how to find colors that make you glow. No fancy beauty knowledge needed - just simple tips that really work.
Your Skin Has a Special Color Story
Every person's skin has two things:
- Surface color - how light or dark your skin looks
- Undertone - the hidden color beneath your skin
Think of undertones like a filter. Some people have a pink filter, some have a yellow filter, and some have both mixed together. Once you know your filter, picking great hijab colors becomes easy!
The Three Types of Undertones
Cool Undertones (Pink/Blue Filter) Your skin has hints of pink, red, or blue underneath. You probably look better in silver jewelry than gold jewelry.
Warm Undertones (Yellow/Golden Filter) Your skin has yellow, golden, or peachy hints underneath. Gold jewelry probably looks nicer on you than silver.
Neutral Undertones (Mixed Filter) Your skin has both pink and yellow mixed together. Both silver and gold jewelry look good on you.
Easy Ways to Find Your Undertone
Test 1: The White Cloth Test Hold a bright white cloth (or white hijab) next to your face in sunlight. If your skin looks good, you might have cool undertones. If cream or off-white looks better, you might have warm undertones.
Test 2: Check Your Jewelry Which looks better on you - gold or silver jewelry? Gold = warm undertones. Silver = cool undertones. Both look good = neutral undertones.
Test 3: Look at Your Wrist Look at the veins on your wrist in good light. Blue or purple veins = cool undertones. Green veins = warm undertones. Can't tell = neutral undertones.
Test 4: Notice When You Blush When you blush naturally, what color do you turn? Pink or red = cool undertones. Peachy or coral = warm undertones.
