If you are a make-up wearer, you may need to know how to identify if you have warm or cool skin tones to pick shades best for you. Here are some tips on how to determine your undertone.

Take a look at the veins on the inside of your wrist. If your veins appear more blue, you’re cool-toned but if you see more green, you’re warm-toned.

The color of your jewelry is another easy way to figure out your undertones. Simply put on some gold and silver jewelry and decide which one you look better in. If you lean towards gold, you’re warm-toned, while silver means cool-toned.

Consider your clothes? If you find yourself opting for earth tones, such as yellows, oranges, red and olive-green, you’re warm-toned. If you prefer jewel-tones such as blues, emerald-greens and purples, you’re cool toned.

When you’ve spent a lengthy amount of time in the sun, how does your skin react? If you find that you tan easily, you’re warm-toned, whereas those that burn easily or turn pink are cool-toned.

While this point is the least straightforward of all, your eye and hair color can generally give an indication to your undertone. Those with blue, grey or green eyes with blonde, brown, or black hair with platinum tones are likely to be cool-tones. If you have brown, amber or hazel eyes with red, black or strawberry blonde hair, it’s likely that you’re warm-toned.

Once you know your skin tone, shopping for eye shadows and other makeup products is fun! For my favorite toxin-free products, check out Crunchi!
