To choose the best shade for you, it is necessary to know your skin’s undertone. Your skin tone isn’t what we’re talking about. That is what you see when you look in a mirror. Undertones is that subtle shade right underneath your skin. Knowing this will help you choose the perfect shades of makeup that is created for you and fits you.
There are three kinds of undertones — Warm, Cool and Neutral.
Once you’ve identified your tone, it’ll be easier for you to choose your hues and makeup that compliments your skin tone.
What types of undertones exist?

What is my undertone?:
To choose the makeup that blends naturally with your skin, you need to know your undertone. There three ways to do this:
1. What does true white say?
Take a white sheet of paper and hold it against your skin in the mirror in a room with bright, natural lighting. If your skin looks pinkish or bluish against the paper, your undertone is cool. If it looks golden or yellow, it is warm. If you don’t see any underlying hues, your undertone is neutral.
2. What do your veins say?
Simply take a look at your wrists and see what colour your veins are. If your veins seem green or olive green, your undertone is warm.
If your veins seem bluish or purple-ish, you have a cool undertone.
If you cannot see your veins at all, your undertone is neutral.
3. The Golden Test:
Simply put, if golden jewellery looks better on you than silver, your undertone is warmer.
If silver suits you better, your undertone is cool.
If both golden and silver jewellery looks great on you, you have a neutral undertone.
