- Types of undertones: there are three types of undertones: warm, cool, and neutral. Warm includes golden, yellow, or peachy undertones. Cool includes pink, red, or blueish undertones. Neutral includes them both.
- Learning your undertones: checking the color of your veins is a great way to determine your undertones in a pinch, but we recommend looking at the veins in and around your face and neck to truly identify. You have cool undertones if you can see blue veins in your skin. If your veins appear green on the skin (olive), you're warm. Neutral is a mixture of both warm and cool undertones.
- Complimenting your undertones: as a general rule, gold jewellery tends to flatter warm undertones more whereas white metals such as silver platinum and white gold look better on paler skin with a cool undertone. Rose gold straddles the line somewhere between the two and so looks equally as good on those with warm or cool undertones. However, you might want to avoid it if your skin has a pinkish tint to it as it will accentuate it.
