Step 2: What's Your Skin Tone? Warm, cool, and neutral are the terms generally used to describe the undertone or tint of skin. There are a few ways to figure out your undertone.
-The Vein Test: Flip your wrist over. If you've got bluish-purple veins, you're cool. If your veins are green-ish, you're warm. If you're having difficulty deciding if they're blue or green, you're probably neutral.
-The Jewelry Test: Hold a piece of silver jewelry and a piece of gold jewelry against your skin in natural light. If you look better in silver, you're cool. If you look better in gold, you're warm.
-The Color Test: Your hair and eye color can help determine your skin tone. Think back to when you were a child. Did your hair have hues of orange, yellow, red or gold? Are your eyes amber, dark brown, hazel, or green? If you answered yes, you have warm skin that is usually golden or apricot. If your hair had tones of blue, violet, silver, or ash and your eyes are light blue, gray-green, blue-green, turquoise, gray, black, or cool-brown, you have cool skin with a pink or rosy undertone.
