    • What Are Undertones?

    How to Find Your Undertone

    • Look at any visible veins on your body. If they look more blue or purple, you likely have cool undertones, but if they look more green, you likely have warm undertones. If you see a little bit of both, you’re likely neutral.
    • Put on a white T-shirt and look in the mirror. If your skin looks more yellow or peachy against the white, you’re likely warm. If your skin looks more pink-ish or blue-toned, you’re likely cool.
    • Check how you look in gold and silver jewelry. If the gold jewelry looks more flattering, you’re most likely warm-toned. If the silver looks better, you’re probably cool-toned. If you look equally good in both, this is a sign you’re neutral.
    • Take a look in your closet. Certain colors look best with each undertone, so the clothes you gravitate toward may give you a clue about which one you are. If you tend to look best in cooler colors like pinks, blues, purples, and greys, this could be a sign you have cool undertones. If you shine in warmer hues like yellows, oranges, greens, and browns, this could mean you have warm undertones.
