UNDER SKIN TONE AND HOW TO USE MAKEUP

A successful make-up depends above all on the right choice of shades. Not all colors know how to highlight us. Whether in makeup, or with our clothes. Knowing the undertone of your skin is therefore essential to better guide your choice.

Beneath your skin, what is it?

There are two important things to know about your skin. It has a color and an undertone. The color of your skin corresponds to the tint of the surface of the epidermis. It changes with exposure to the sun and is influenced by melanin level.
The undertone is written in your DNA and deeper in your skin. Like your skin type, it will never change. Each skin has its own undertone. It is divided into three categories: cold, warm and neutral..
The cool undertone brings together shades of pink, red and blue. The warm undertone composed of shades of yellow, gold and copper. The neutral undertone mixes the first two categories.

 Determine the undertone of the skin

There are several methods to determine the undertone of your skin. Like the vein test. The color of your visible veins, like that of the wrist, defines the undertone. If you have the green veins then the undertone is warm. On the contrary, the blue or purple veins mean that the undertone is cold. Underneath your neutral? You would have both blue and green veins.

The metal jewelry method. If the gold or rose gold jewelry makes you look better, your undertone is warm. Silver jewelry looks much better on cool skin. Do both types of jewelry suit you equally well? So your undertone is neutral.

What palette to highlight me?

The palettes with shades of pink, lavender are the ones that will best highlight you if you have the under your cold. As ROMAND Peony Nude Garden or Dusty Cat of the ETUDE brand. The shades for cold undertones are devoid of an orange or coppery color note.

If you have it under your hot, we recommend the palette Play Eye Colors Leather Shop with its brick and brown hues. The small palette signed MISSHA Morning Bakery will also highlight your beautiful eyes!

Knowing your undertone is also essential for choosing your foundation and your clothes. The ETUDE and LANEIGE brand offer shades for each undertone with the letters: N (neutral), W (warm) and C (cold).
