How To Tell Skin Undertones!

Knowing your skin undertone is very important when purchasing makeup, specifically foundation. If you are wondering what and undertone is, an undertone is the color that's just beneath the skin. Your skin tone can change due to sunlight exposure etc., the undertone does not. Foundations usually come recommended for one of three undertone types: “cool,” “neutral,” or “warm.” It’s also possible to fall somewhere in between such as “neutral-warm”.

Finding your skin undertone can sometimes be confusing or hard to figure out but don't worry because all you have to do is look at your veins on your wrist.

You have a “cool” undertone if:
• If the veins on your wrist are blue or purple
• If silver jewelry flatters your skin more than gold
• When you look at your skin in the sun, it appears blue-ish
• Skin has a pink, red, or blue tinge to it

You have a “neutral” undertone if:
• The veins on your wrist are blue-green
• Both gold and silver jewelry flatter your skin
• When you look at your skin in the sun, it appears greenish
• Skin is neither pink/red/blue nor yellow/gold/peach, but somewhere in between

 

You have a “warm” undertone if:

• The veins on your wrist are slightly green or olive
