To determine your skin tone, you need to consider both your surface color and undertone. Your surface color is the shade of your skin, such as light, medium, or dark, while your undertone is the subtle hue underneath the surface, which can be cool, warm, or neutral. One way to determine your undertone is by holding a white piece of paper to your face and observing how your skin looks in contrast to the paper. If your skin appears yellowish, you have a warm undertone; if it appears pink or rosy, you have a cool undertone; and if you can't determine any cast of yellow or pink, you have a neutral undertone
. Determining your skin tone is important for choosing the right makeup, clothing, and hair colors that complement your natural complexion. It can also help you select the most flattering shades for your overall appearance
