Determining your skin undertone can help you choose the right makeup, clothing, and skincare products. There are several ways to determine your skin undertone, including:
-
Vein Test: Look at the veins on the inside of your wrist. If they appear blue or purple, you likely have cool undertones. If they appear green, you likely have warm undertones. If they appear blue-green, you likely have neutral undertones. If they appear blue-green with a hint of olive, you likely have olive undertones.
-
Jewelry Test: Pay attention to which type of jewelry looks best on you. If you look better in gold jewelry, you likely have warm undertones. If you look better in silver jewelry, you likely have cool undertones.
-
White T-Shirt Test: Hold a pure-white t-shirt or towel up to your face. If your skin appears pinkish, you likely have cool undertones. If your skin appears yellowish, you likely have warm undertones. If your skin appears to be a mix of pink and yellow, you likely have neutral undertones.
Some people may have a combination of undertones, or their undertones may change depending on the season or other factors. Its important to note that undertones are different from skin tone, which refers to the lightness or darkness of your skin.
When looking for makeup products, its important to choose shades that complement your undertones. For example, if you have cool undertones, you may want to look for makeup products with pink or blue undertones. If you have warm undertones, you may want to look for makeup products with yellow or golden undertones. If you have neutral undertones, you may want to look for makeup products with a balance of warm and cool tones.
Its also important to pay attention to the ingredients or materials in your skincare and makeup products. Look for products that are suitable for your skin type and address your specific skin concerns. Avoid products that contain ingredients that irritate your skin or that you are allergic to. Some people may prefer to use products with natural or organic ingredients, while others may prefer products with synthetic ingredients. Its important to choose products that work well for your skin and that you feel comfortable using.
