Think about your eye and hair colorĪlthough you might play with different hair dye colors and eyeshadows, your natural eye and hair color may provide some insights into your undertones. Like jewelry, if you have neutral undertones, you can wear all colors without affecting your overall look. Warm undertones also tend to complement brown hues, while cooler tones look better in black. True white tends to favor cooler undertones, while warm undertones look better in off-white. Neutral-colored clothing can also indicate your undertones. You may have neutral undertones if you tend to look good in both silver and gold and base your choice more on your outfit than your skin color. Silver, platinum, and rose gold tend to flatter cooler undertones. If you like the way traditional yellow gold looks on your skin, you’re more likely to have warm or olive undertones. Many people are more attracted to silver or gold jewelry because of how it looks against their skin. If you have neutral undertones, then your veins may appear colorless or match the color of your skin. People with blue or purplish-looking veins usually have cooler undertones.

If you can see your veins, you may be able to use their color to identify your undertone.įor example, if your veins look greenish, then you may have warm undertones.

They can help you identify your undertone and may even be able to swatch different product shades until you find your ideal match. You can make this determination using any one of the tests we outline below.īut if you’re still stuck, visit your medical aesthetician or consult with a beauty expert at a beauty counter like Ulta or Clinique.
