Now that you know what undertones, are here is what they look like!
Cool undertones normally consist of a mix of blue, pink, or red complexion.
Warm undertones consist of the opposite, with yellow, golden, and peachier hues.

How To Determine Your Undertone
Now you know the undertones and what they consist of, it’s onto the fun part! There are a few ways to determine your undertone, try these out.
1. Observation
Look at your wrist veins, and make sure you’re in natural lighting. Take note and match it to the description of the undertones above.
2. Comparison
The second idea is to grab a white paper or tee-shirt and hold it right next to your face. If your skin looks a little yellow next to the object, you have warm undertones. If your skin looks red/rosier you have cooler undertones!
3. Tanning
Often, those with cool undertones burn easily. If you tan super easily, then it’s likely you have a warm undertone. Those who don’t tan at all may have olive undertones. Lastly, if you get burned, then tan you may have a neutral undertone.
4. Jewelry
Jewelry can help with giving you a slight indication of what your undertone is!
Silver Jewelry: If silver jewelry looks best on you, then you may have cool undertones.
Gold Jewelry: If you find that gold jewelry looks best on you, this indicates warmer undertones.
Both look good on you? Then you may have neutral undertones!
