what is my undertone? ✨

the beauty community has got me trying to figure out what my undertone is.

for reference:

- i prefer silver jewelry

- i always thought my veins were blue but now im not so sure and that’s honestly why i’m here 🥲

- last two pics of me are makeup free

- last pic are my go-to shades of concealer

- i typically wear a ruby red shade of blush

like if anyone could give me a good discription of what my shade/color is in general it would be appreciated!

thank u 🫶🏾

Understanding your skin undertone is essential for choosing the right makeup and enhancing your natural beauty. There are typically three undertone categories: cool, warm, and neutral. Cool undertones usually suit silver jewelry and often have veins that appear blue or purple. Warm undertones, on the other hand, look great in gold jewelry with veins that appear greenish. Meanwhile, neutral undertones can wear both silver and gold. To accurately determine your undertone, consider taking a few steps: 1. Examine your natural skin tone in various lighting. Natural light is the best for this. 2. Try on different shades of blush, foundation, or concealer to see which complements your complexion. 3. Take note of your preferred jewelry; if you prefer silver, you might lean towards cool tones, while those who favor gold may have warmer undertones. For makeup enthusiasts, brands like Maybelline offer a wide range of shades designed to match various undertones. If you're still unsure about your undertone, don't hesitate to ask friends or visit a beauty store for a consultation. Embracing your unique undertone will not only enhance your makeup looks but boost your confidence as well!
