How to Determine Your Skin's Undertones

Do you have trouble finding the perfect shade of foundation, eye makeup, and hair color to suit you best? That may be because you have not nailed down your skin's undertone yet. Just knowing your undertone can help you with so many decisions for your look!   

Do you have warm, cool, or neutral undertones? Once you determine your skin undertone, all will fall into place. Here is a little secret - take a look at the veins on your wrist. If they are blue or purple, you have a cool undertone - if green, you have a warm undertone - and if neither, you are neutral.

Also pay attention to how your skin reacts in the sun. Do you burn easily and then go right back to pale? You most likely have a cool undertone. Do you tan easily? You most likely have a warm undertone. 

If you need help determining, that is what the professionals at Aveda Institute are there for! Book an appointment today!
