Etnia Barcelona's collections are a true visual fireworks display: classic tortoiseshells mixed with vibrant neon, translucent acetates, reinvented Havana patterns... Faced with such richness, many hesitate for fear of making the wrong choice. Yet, daring to wear color is the best way to light up your face! Here is our practical guide to finding the perfect match between your frame, your skin tone, and your eyes.
1. Key step: Determine your skin undertone
The secret to wearing color without mistakes is knowing your skin tone. Look at the veins on the inside of your wrists in natural light:
- Warm undertone: Your veins look green and gold generally suits you better than silver. Your skin has golden, yellow, or peach reflections.
- Cool undertone: Your veins look blue or purple and silver illuminates your complexion. Your skin has pink, bluish, or red reflections.
2. The best Etnia colors for warm skin tones
If you have a warm skin tone, the rich and earthy shades of Etnia Barcelona will look wonderful on you. The brand excels in these palettes!
Go for Etnia's famous Havana patterns (tortoiseshell), enhanced with touches of honey, orange, brick red, or olive green. Avoid icy blues or very cool pastels that could dull your face.
3. Ideal shades for cool skin tones
Cool skin tones are enhanced by deep and bright colors based on blue or pink.
At Etnia Barcelona, look for tortoiseshells inlaid with cobalt blue, emerald green, purple, or raspberry pink. Black models with neon details (very prominent in the latest collections) will also suit you perfectly, just like translucent gray acetate frames.
4. Matching the frame to your eye color
To make your eyes pop, play with complementarity:
- Blue eyes: Dare to use warm tones (copper, orange, honey tortoiseshell) to create a vibrant contrast.
- Green eyes: Burgundy, plum, and red-leaning tortoiseshell (dark Havana) will bring out the green of your irises.
- Brown eyes: Everything suits you! The deep blues or intense greens of Etnia will wonderfully illuminate your gaze.
