How to figure out your skin tone.
To find a foundation that suites your skin is very hard without professional help so drug store foundations and concealers can be quite hit and miss. However by understanding your skins undertone you can make a more accurate decision.
The skins undertone is the warm, cool or neutral hue that shows through the surface colour of skin.
To help you work out what undertone you have you can follow these simple steps :
If you tan easily and do not burn.
You have a warm undertone and will most likely have yellow-to-olive skin.
Go for foundation and concealers with words like warm or medium.
If you burn or tan minimally.
You have a cooler undertone and probably have pink undertones.
I suggest going for foundations and concealers with words like faire, light, ivory, cool ,light.
Another way to determine your skin tone is by the colour of your veins in your wrist.
Look at the inside of your wrist, if your veins are ;
Blue/Purple = cool toned.
Green = Warm toned
Green/Blue = neutral undertones.
Cool tones ;
- Bold colours
Warm tones;
- Neutral colours
I hope this helped you figure out your skin tone and next time you purchase a foundation or concealer it is the right shade for your skin.
