How to find your undertone can be a bit tricky. Are you warm, cool or in between?
Here are 3 easy ways to find your undertone.
Are you tired of showing up and people ask you if you are feeling okay?...and you aren't feeling sick? It could be that you are wearing the wrong colors. You have those days when you walk in a room and immediately people come up to you and tell you that you are looking awesome? They ask what you've done recently because they just can't figure out what is making you radiate confidence! You want more of those days, right?
Click the photo below for a super short video that will help you determine your undertone.
Let's dive into 3 easy ways to find your undertone:
1. Check your wrists. Stand in natural lighting like an open window and turn your wrists over. Do your veins look more blue/purple, more green or you just can't tell? If they are more on the blue side, then colors with a blue undertone or cool undertone will probably look better on you. If your veins are more green and your skin looks like it has a little more yellow to it, you will probably look best in warmer colors. And if you just can't really determine, then you are lucky and can get away with wearing most colors - just make sure you stick with cool or warm that day - don't wear a cool colored outfit and warm colored makeup or cool colored lip color with warm colored eye shadows.
2. What color jewelry looks best on you? Not what colors you like to wear but which look best on you. Hold up some gold earrings next to your skin and hold up some silver earrings. Which look best on your skin? Again, silver = cool, gold = warm. Neutral? you can wear whatever you want!
3. Color Draping: If you are still struggling to find your best colors try holding up some different shades of clothing to your face. Stand in the window again. Keep track of colors that struggle/fight against your natural skin tone vs colors that just glow and blend.
I hope you found value in these tips. I want you to use color for more confidence! I want you to walk in a room and everyone notices your radiance and they come running to you.
