It’s not always easy to determine what your undertone is, but once you know it can help you choose the right colors for your skin. Knowing your undertone will help you determine the best colors to wear for your skin type.
Skin color is determined by the amount of pigment, or melanin, in the skin. There are five different types of skin tones: fair, light olive, olive, medium brown, and dark brown. Each of these has a different level of melanin. The amount of melanin in your skin helps to determine your undertone.
So, what is a neutral undertone?
A neutral undertone has an even balance of warm and cool tones. This means that it doesn’t have a strong yellow or pink hue to it.
If you have a neutral undertone, your undertones are likely to be the same color as your natural skin tone. It’s worth noting that your undertone isn’t the same as your natural tone or the color of your bare skin before applying makeup.
People with a neutral undertone usually have skin that is somewhere between beige and olive in color. They can wear pretty much any color, but some colors will look better on them than others
If you’re not sure if you have a neutral undertone, there are a few ways to determine this. One way is to take a look at the veins on your wrist. If they appear greenish-blue, then you have cool undertones. If they appear more yellow, then you have warm undertones.
However, this isn’t always an accurate way to determine your undertone.
Another way to determine your undertones is by looking at the color of your jewelry. If you find that silver and gold jewelry both look good on you, then you have a neutral undertone. If one looks better than the other, then you likely have a warm or cool undertone.
Is neutral undertone rare?
A neutral tone is one in which both cool and warm undertones are visible or no distinct undertones exist.
Neutral undertones are rare, and the fortunate few people who possess them look fantastic in every color. Your veins on your wrist will appear green and blue if you have a cool undertone, or green and yellow if you have a warm undertone.
Victoria Beckham, Natalie Portman, Drew Barrymore, and Kerry Washington are just a few celebrities with neutral undertones.
Some other celebrities that fall into the neutral undertone skin range include Jennifer Aniston, Miranda Kerr, and Anne Hathaway.
How to tell what undertones your skin has?
Your skin’s undertone is determined by the coloring of your veins. This can be either cool, warm, or neutral.
Knowing which tone your skin has is important when it comes to selecting the right shades of foundation, blush, and other makeup products. To determine what undertones your skin has, there are a few methods you can try.
Once you know your skin tone, it becomes a lot easier to find the right shades and colors for your complexion. So, how do you determine your skin’s undertone?
One way is to look at the veins on your wrist. If they are greenish-blue, then you have cool undertones. If they are more yellow, then you have warm undertones.
A less scientific way to determine your skin tone is by experimenting with different shades of foundation and blush until you find one that matches best. Once you’ve found a shade that matches, take note of the undertone. If the color looks good on you and your veins don’t give away your undertone, then it’s likely that you have a neutral undertone.
As mentioned earlier, another way to determine undertones is by looking at the jewelry you wear. If silver and gold look equally good on you, then you have a neutral undertone. However, if one looks better than the other, then you likely have a warm or cool undertone
How can I tell what my skin type?
There are three primary skin types: dry, oily, and combination
Dry skin has a lack of oil production and often feels tight after washing. Oily skin has an overproduction of oil which leads to large pores and a shiny complexion combination skin is a mix of the two, with dry patches and an oily T-zone.
If you’re not sure what your skin type is, start by looking at your forehead, nose, and chin. These areas are typically more oily than the rest of your face. If you have large pores or an oily complexion, you likely have oily skin. If your skin feels tight after washing or if it’s common for you to experience flakiness, then you have dry skin.
And if you have a mix of both traits, then you have combination skin.
What colors look best on neutral skin?
Once you know your undertone, it becomes a lot easier to figure out which colors will flatter your complexion the most.
People with cool undertones should stick to shades that are blue-based, like navy and royal purple.
Warm undertones look great in orangey hues, like coral and apricot.
If you have a neutral undertone, then you can wear any color! You’ll look stunning in grays, browns, blacks – basically any color that isn’t too warm or too cool.
So now that you know how to determine your skin’s undertone and find the right makeup shades for you, go get shopping. And don’t forget to experiment.
