UNDER YOUR SKIN AND HOW TO APPLY MAKEUP
A successful makeup primarily depends on the right choice of shades. Not all colors know how to enhance us.
Skin undertone, what is it exactly?
Determining the skin undertone
There are several methods to determine your skin undertone. Like the vein test. The color of your visible veins, such as on your wrist, defines the undertone. If you have veins that lean towards green, then the undertone is warm. Conversely, blue or purple veins mean the undertone is cool. Neutral undertone? You would have both blue and green veins.
The metal jewelry method. If gold or rose gold jewelry highlights you more, your undertone is warm. Silver jewelry is much more flattering on cool skin. Do both types of jewelry suit you equally well? Then your undertone is neutral.
Which palette will highlight me?
Palettes with pink and lavender shades are the ones that will best enhance you if you have cool undertones. Like ROMAND Peony Nude Garden or Dusty Cat from the ETUDE brand. Shades for cool undertones lack any orange or copper color notes.
If you have warm undertones, we recommend the Play Eye Colors Leather Shop palette with its brick and brown shades. The small palette by MISSHA Morning Bakery will also highlight your beautiful eyes!
Knowing your undertone is also essential for choosing your foundation as well as your clothes. The brands ETUDE and LANEIGE offer shades for each undertone with the letters: N (neutral), W (warm), and C (cold).
