Understanding Skin Tones

Before diving into specific shades, it’s essential to understand your skin tone. Skin tones are generally categorized into three groups:

Each category can have warm, cool, or neutral undertones. Here’s a quick way to determine your undertone:

• Warm undertones: Your skin has a yellow, golden, or peach hue. Veins appear greenish.
• Cool undertones: Your skin has a pink, red, or blue hue. Veins appear bluish or purple.
• Neutral undertones: A mix of warm and cool hues. Veins are not distinctly green or blue.
