Cool undertone

Cool skin undertone: how to identify it

Your undertone is the hue beneath the surface of your skin, and it stays the same in summer and winter. Your skin tone, on the other hand, is how light or dark your skin is. A cool undertone has a pink, reddish or bluish hue. Look at the veins on the inside of your wrist in daylight: if they look bluish and silver suits you better than gold, you probably have a cool undertone. If your veins look greenish, see warm undertone, and if you see both blue and green veins, see neutral undertone.
