How Do I Know My Skin Undertone

Check the skin just behind your ears.

Undertones are essentially the shade within the color. If your undertone is warm then the foundation shade should have a subtle yellow or golden tone and we mean very very subtle. A mix of the two means that you re neutral. Finding your undertone requires more than eyeballing your skin but it doesn t have to.

And if it glows against silver foil you have a cool undertone. Check the reflection of the foils on your skin. If you have cool undertones the foundation should look slightly and we mean slightly pinkish in the bottle.

If your skin looks good against both the foils you have a neutral undertone. If your undertones are neutral you re not too ruddy or too sallow.

Olive skin has both. If your skin tans to peach golden caramel or olive undertones instead of rosy or reddish you likely have a warm undertone. If your skin appears more ashen or gray then you could have a natural olive tone. You never want your foundation to be too pink or too yellow or too ashen.
