- How do I know my skintone and which undertone color foundation is for me?
The “silver or gold” trick … Hold up a silver necklace next to your skin, and then a gold one. Which complements your skin better? If you look better in silver jewelry you have a cool skin tone, and if you look better in gold then you have a warm skin tone.
Look at the veins in your arm. If your veins appear greenish, that could indicate a yellow undertone, which means that your tone is warm. Veins that appear to be bluish, indicate blue undertone, which means your tone is cool. If you are unsure which color your veins are, sometimes it is easier to compare yours with someone elses. It really makes the color stand out.
You have cool undertones if … you have pale or fair, rosy skin, skin with a dark-red cast, or tend to flush easily. If you are very fair, burn easily, and your skin has pink or porcelain undertones instead of peach, you have “cool”undertones. Celebrities with cool undertones: Scarlett Johansson, Meg Ryan, Courtney Cox, Cameron Diaz.
You have warm undertones if …you have a yellow or golden undertone and you tan easily. You look more peach than pink. Warm undertones are the most common. Celebrities with warm undertones ... Mila Kunis, Lindsey Lohan, Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce.
You probably have olive skin if you have green and gold undertones; olive skin has a warm undertone. Celebrities with warm olive undertones … Eva Mendez, Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Alba
You have a neutral undertone if …you have either a mix of cool and warm undertones or no distinguishable undertones at all. Celebrities with a neutral undertone: Sandra Bullock, Megan Fox, Cindy Crawford.
