Start with one simple question

Do warm colors or cool colors make you look more alive? That question is the essence of undertone.

Beginner test in 5 minutes

  1. Look at your wrist veins in daylight.
  2. Compare gold vs silver jewelry near your face.
  3. Hold white and cream fabrics side by side.

If two of the three tests agree, that's your undertone.
