HOW TO DETERMINE YOUR SKIN UNDERTONES
While you may have light, medium, or dark skin, it’s really all about the colors that peek through from underneath the surface of your skin—a.k.a. your skin undertones. This is an array of warm, cool, and neutral undertones, skin. Wondering what undertone you have? Here’s what you need to know.
Warm undertones: you’ll notice hints of yellow, peachy, or golden hues.
Cool undertones: your skin leans on the pink, red, and bluish side.
Neutral undertones: look for an even mixture of warm and cool tones that balance each other out and make your skin’s natural shade more obvious.
When you find a perfect hue and are finding the perfect makeup that makes it a breeze. Now that you’re armed with everything you need to know about undertones, it’s time to stock up on face makeup.
HOW TO FIND THE BEST FOUNDATION AND CONCEALER FOR YOUR UNDERTONE
To determine which foundation and concealer will pair best with your undertones, simply dab a little on your neck. This way you’ll be able to match your undertones and ensure that you won’t have an intense line of demarcation.
While you might feel like you’ve hit the jackpot on the first swatch, be sure to try a few on for size so that you can compare to find the truest match—you’ll be amazed by just how natural your coverage will look.
HOW TO FIND THE BEST BLUSH AND HIGHLIGHTER FOR YOUR UNDERTONE
Along with concealer and foundation, you may sometimes apply highlighter and blush. And you should decide on shades for both products based on your undertones. Bronze, rust, and orange shades work best with warm undertones, while pearlescent silvery finishes and cool pinks are gorgeous on cool skin tones.
HOW TO FIND THE BEST EYESHADOW FOR YOUR UNDERTONE
Beyond face makeup, you can choose eye makeup shades based on your undertones as well. Choose eye shadows that have the same undertones as your complexion. So, if you have warm skin, use bronze shades reminiscent of sunsets, and if you have cool skin, opt for pink, mauve, navy blue, white, and gray.
HOW TO FIND THE BEST LIP COLOR FOR YOUR UNDERTONE
Last but not least, let’s talk about lipstick! Your makeup routine wouldn’t be complete without some lip color, but which one should you choose? Here are some guidelines: For warm undertones, oranges and orange-based reds will be stunning. For warm undertones, blue-based reds, fuchsias, and blue-based berries will look beautiful.
Now that you know how to tailor your makeup to your undertones, why not try it soon!
