How Can I Determine My Skins Undertone?

Here’s what you need to know…

• Skin tones are often confused for undertones, but they are not the same thing 
• An undertone is a colour that lies beneath the skin. It is almost like a shadow below your skin color. While your skin tone can change, the undertone never does. 
• You can have a cool, warm, or neutral undertone. 

Here’s how to find your undertone…

• One way to find your undertone is to think about which colours look best on you – if you tend to look better in cool colours, like blue and white, it’s probably because of your cool undertone. If you gravitate toward oranges or pinks, chances are you have a warm undertone. 
• Study your veins: If they are blue, your undertones are cool. If your veins have a greener tint, it is because your warm undertone makes the color look warmer. Do you have both colors, or veins that appear in between? You may have a neutral undertone. 
• There are other ways of finding your undertone, like trying on jewelry to see what really makes your skin glow – if silver is your go-to, you likely have a cool undertone, and if gold looks best, it could be a result of having a warm undertone
