How to determine your Undertone? Cool / Warm / Neutral

The most battling topic with each and everyone of us, choosing the right Foundation and Concealer! It can get frustrating and out of the head if not understood the basics of it. Well I didn't get pro at it in 2 days, it takes some time of-course.

Types of Undertones (Warm/Cool/Neutral)

Warm, cool or Neutral? Its not Rocket Science guys, just as simple as ABC.

COOL:Skin Colour:  blue, pink skin undertones Eye Colour: blue, violet, grey Hair Colour: blonde, brunette

NEUTRAL:Skin Colour:  fair or light pink, olive, yellow skin undertones Eye Colour: all Hair Colour: all

WARM:Skin Colour:  yellow, orange skin undertones Eye Colour: brown, green, hazel Hair Colour: brunette, red, blonde

How to Determine your Undertone?

Vein test - in a natural light, look at the inside of your wrist; if the veins appear greenish this indicates you have yellow undertones and thus would have a warm skin tone. Veins that appear to be more bluish indicate a cool skin tone. And if its a mixture of both like turquoise/aqua then you're a Neutral my lady.

The white fabric test - You need to tie a ponytail, freshly wash your face and pat dry, stand in front of the mirror in good lighting ( Natural sun lighting recommended) and tie the white fabric around your neck. If your face appears to have red/pink tones, you have a cool undertone. If your face appears to have yellow/golden tones, you have a warm undertone. If your face appears to have both pink and yellow tones or it doesn't appear to have any tones, you have a neutral undertone.

Silver/Gold test - If you think you look better in gold than silver, this indicates a warm skin tone. People with cool skin tones usually look better in silver. Try the same with silver/gold fabric, what do you see?
