Skin Tones The skin's undertone is made up of warm, cool, or neutral tones that shows through the surface colour of skin. Although the surface colour of skin changes depending on sun exposure and other skin conditions like rosacea and acne, the skin s undertone remains consistent. Knowing whether your undertone is warm, cool or neutral is the key to ensuring that your foundation matches your skin and colour products look natural, not contrived. When foundation doesn t properly match skin s undertone, the colour stands out as orange to copper, pink to rose, or ashen. If makeup looks like the right colour in the package but looks odd once applied, you ve likely purchased makeup with the incorrect undertone for your skin. There are several ways to determine your skin tone, but here are some quick methods to keep in mind: If you tan easily and do not burn, your skin's natural melanin (the pigment that gives skin its colour) level is higher, and you most likely have a yellow-to-olive, warm undertone. This is true for most African-American and women of Indian descent. Some African-American women with deep ebony skin tones may actually have a cool (bluish) undertone, so dark copper shades look off but espresso-type shades match perfectly. Those who burn and either tan minimally or not at all have significantly less melanin, which results in a pink, bluishred, or ruddy cooler undertone. In addition, look for tell tale signs: a ruddy skin tone has obvious signs of redness or is one that tends to flush easily. Some neutral skin tones fall into this category, particularly if rosacea is a factor, so experiment with cool to neutral tones to see what works best for you.
Skin Tones Olive skin tones tend to look somewhat ashen or grey, from the combination of the natural yellow undertone everyone has and the greenish hue that s unique to olive skin of any depth. Neutral tones tend to work best, but experiment with warm tones as well, as you may fall somewhere in between. Neutral skin tones are those with no obvious overtones of olive, sallow, or pink. People with this skin tone tend to have the easiest time finding foundation, concealer, and powders that are just right for them. In fact, those with neutral skin tones may find they can easily wear more than one shade in any given foundation line up. The shortcut test: Some people like to rely on the colour of their veins: Look at the veins on the inside of your wrist. If your veins appear blue/purple you are in the cool-toned (bluish) spectrum. If your veins appear green, you are in the warm-toned (yellow) spectrum. Those with neutral undertones will have difficulty discerning the blue/green.
Choosing the right tones: Redheads with fair to medium skin tones like Susan Sarandon, Nicole Kidman, and Julianne Moore tend to wear corals, salmon, browns, ambers, bronze, and other earth tones. Blondes with fair skin to medium skin tones like Gwyneth Paltrow, Emma Stone, and Kirsten Dunst favour a range of pink shades. Brunettes with fair to medium skin tones like Julia Roberts and Jennifer Garner are often seen in light rose and soft red shades. Dark brown hair and fair to medium skin tones like Demi Moore, Sandra Bullock, and Penelope Cruz wear more vivid shades of rose and cherry. Black hair and deeper skin tones such as Halle Berry and Zoe Saldana or Oprah Winfrey wear soft natural tones such as nude pinks, soft browns, and corals.
