Step 1: Pick a spot to look at your skin filled with natural light 

 

Step 2: Identify your undertone by answering these 3 questions:  

    1. Do the veins in your forearm appear more purple-blue, blue-green, or green? 
          • COOL - Veins will appear purple or dark blue 
          • NEUTRAL - Veins will appear blue-green 
          • OLIVE - Veins will appear blue-green 
          • WARM - Veins will appear green or olive 

      2. What jewelry are you drawn to, or naturally look best in? 

          • COOL - Look best in silver, platinum, or rose gold 
          • NEUTRAL - Look great in all jewelry 
          • OLIVE - Look best in gold
          • WARM - Look best in gold 

      3. How does your skin react to sun exposure? 

          • COOL - Turns red or burns easily 
          • NEUTRAL – Skin tans, but can also become red 
          • OLIVE - Tans easily, but can also become red
          • WARM - Tans easily

      Still unsure? ​ 

      In natural light, take a picture of yourself wearing a pure white piece of clothing. What color in your skin is most apparent? ​ 

      If your skin looks pink or rosy by comparison, you're cool toned. ​ 

      If your face looks more yellow, your undertone is warm. If you feel you look better in off-white or creamy hues rather than stark white, that's another telltale sign of a warm undertone. ​ 

      If you can wear both stark white and off-white without feeling like you look washed out, you probably have a neutral undertone. ​ 

      Olive undertone will also look good in both colors but will see more green in their skin when wearing the stark white. ​ 

       

      Step 3: Defining your overtone: 

      Your overtone is where your skin sits on the spectrum of fair to deep. Here are some guidelines for how different skin undertones typically fall in this range: 

      • COOL - Typically light to fair skin tone 
      • NEUTRAL - Typically fair to deep skin tone 
      • OLIVE - Typically light to medium skin tone 
      • WARM - Typically light to deep skin tone 

      EXPERT TIP: If you feel between two shades, it’s best to go with a shade that’s too warm rather than too light. 

       

      Step 4: Select the type of coverage you would like: 

      • Full Coverage - Liquid Foundation 
      • Medium to Full Coverage - Pressed Powder Foundation 
      • Medium to Light Coverage - Beauty Balms 
      • Light Coverage - Sheer Tint Mineral Foundation
