Undertones

Hello everyone! I am a makeup newbie and for a few days I have been trying to figure out my undertone so that I can choose the right blushes and bronzers. I'm very confused because I seem to be a mixture of both types! I recently bought NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer Mini in the color Nougatine for light skin w/yellow undertones. It blends into my skin perfectly. I figured that meant that I must be warm toned, but my veins are VERY blue. Does this mean I am neutral?

Thank you for any help!

Hi @Anonymous!

 

You might find this chart useful in finding your undertone

Re: Undertones

That actually helps a lot!! I think I am definitely neutral leaning towards warm. I do burn A TINY bit, just on my face, in the beginning of the summer and then it's a tan two days later and my veins look green-ish in some lights and blue in others.

Glad I could help!

It's hard to tell for some people just by the color of their veins.  You might have traits in multiple undertone categories.  I actually have a lot of traits in both neutral and warm categories, but I have warm/olive undertones!

@RAWRitsRED Really? That's not a bad thing! It sounds like it probably gives you even more options, right? That's cool! I think I have traits in multiple categories too. I think I am similar to you, but with yellow instead of olive undertones. I fit in the neutral categories the most, but that yellow-toned makeup has always worked the best for me I cannot deny. lol 

Re: Undertones

@Anonymous if your veins are blue tone you are cool tone and if they are green you are warm tone. If it’s hard to tell then you are neutral.

Re: Undertones

They look blue to me, but green to my friend, so I guess it is hard to tell! Thank you for your answers!
