Examine your veins: Finding out your skin’s undertone is a lot easier than you think. Firstly, under the sunlight examine your veins on the back of your wrist, right under where your palm starts. The skin on your wrist is very thin, under the sunlight you can have a better idea of which kind of undertone you are.

• If your veins have blueish or purplish color then you are a cool undertone.
• If your veins have greenish or olive color then you are a warm undertone.
• If your veins have a mix of both colors or if you can’t really tell then you are a neutral undertone.

 

Which looks great on you silver or gold?

Under good natural lighting, check out how your skin appears against each color of jewelry.  Which metal makes your skin healthier and brighter;

• If gold jewelry suits you more then you have a warm undertone,
• If silver jewelry suits you better then you have a cool undertone and If both gold and silver jewelry looks good on you then you have probably neutral undertone.

 

Consider, how does your skin react while stepping out in the sun?

Don’t overexpose your skin to the sun just to check out whether your skin burns or tans. Remember your past experiences when you were out in sunlight. In summer if your skin easily burns even after applying sunscreen then you are a cool-toned person.  If your skin effortlessly getting tan, then chances are you fall into a warm-toned category.
