What Are The Matching Makeup Tones For Warm Undertones?

When analyzing skin undertones, many people make the mistake of assuming that what is being talked about is the tone of their skin but how wrong they are. Your skin tone is different from your skin’ undertone hence they mean different things. The undertone of your skin is the color beneath the surface of your skin. As a matter of fact, two people may have the same skin color but different undertones. Attempting to use the same fashion material colors used by someone you know who has the same skin tone may leave you disappointed with the final result you’re looking for. For clarity of purpose, undertones are broken down into 3 categories.

1. Cool Undertones
2. Warm Undertones  
3. Neutral Undertones
