Decoding the ways of understanding the undertone

Decoding the ways of understanding the undertone

You must have noticed that some shade of a face compact powder makes you look like a radiant goddess and some shade leaves you look like a mismatched patch quilt. What could be the reason behind that? Your undertones, the hues beneath your skin surface, play an important role in determining which shade of compact powder or foundation is suitable for your skin. 

Cool Undertone: If your skin has a color of rosy or red tint and your wrist’s vein has a bluish or purple color then you have a cool undertone. Often called a winter wonderland as it has the hues of electric snowy winter’s day. You are rocking the cold as an icy winter wonderland. 

Warm Undertone: If your skin has yellow, golden, or peach color and the veins of your wrist exhibit a hint of more green color then you have a warm undertone. Also called the golden glow of summer sunset. You have the warmth of sunshine running through your veins. 

Neutral Undertone: If you have a mix of golden and rosy hues in your complexion and the veins of your wrist showcase the blue-ish and green-ish party or it has the same color as your skin then congratulations! You’ve hit the threshold of balance and versatility. The beautiful harmony of blue and green.
