Undertone refers to the natural colors underneath the surface of your skin, and knowing your undertone can help you choose foundation or color palettes that best suit your hue. There are three traditional undertones: warm, cool, and neutral. Here are some ways to identify your undertone:
-
Look at your veins: If your veins appear blue or purple, you likely have cool undertones. If they appear green, you probably have warm undertones. If you cant tell if they're blue or green, you may have neutral undertones.
-
Consider how your skin reacts to the sun: If you burn easily and don't tan, you may have cool undertones. If you tan easily, you may have warm undertones.
-
Think about the colors that flatter you: If you look best in gold jewelry and earth tones, you may have warm undertones. If you look best in silver jewelry and jewel tones, you may have cool undertones. If you look good in both, you may have neutral undertones.
-
Take an online quiz: There are many online quizzes that can help you determine your undertone based on a series of questions about your skin and preferences.
It's important to note that undertone is not the same as skin tone, and that people of all skin tones can have warm, cool, or neutral undertones.
