The key to knowing your perfect foundation shade is through your skin undertone. Do you struggle with matching your makeup with the rest of the body? Or do you have a difficult time finding the perfect foundation for your skin? Skin undertone is the permanent underlying color of your skin tone – the first visible color in the mirror – casts, that is, warm, cool, or neutral.
Warm undertones tend to have yellow, peach, or golden underlying colors. On the other hand, cool undertones have hints of pink or blue tones under their skin, while neutral undertones have a mix of both warm and cool tones. If you have warm undertones when buying foundations, you should purchase foundations with warm tones, which applies to cool and neutral undertones.
This article reveals 3 simple ways to help you determine your skin undertone:-
Looking Through A Mirror On Natural Light
Using a mirror, stand in front of a window with natural light, and observe if your makeup-free skin oscillates a bit more yellow and peach or pink and blue.
Using Jewelry
Do you look best in silver or gold jewelry? If gold jewelry complements your skin more, then you have a warm undertone. On the other hand, if silver jewelry complements your skin, you have a cool undertone. Nonetheless, if you do not notice any difference, you have a neutral undertone.
Using Your Veins
If you look at the veins near your face in the mirror, you can tell what undertone you have. If your veins appear green in color, your undertone is warm. On the other hand, if your veins appear blue or purple, you have a cool undertone. If you have a mix of both, then you have a neutral undertone.
