Your color palette


 Hold a white piece of paper up to your face. Looking in a mirror, try to see how
your skin looks in contrast to the white paper. It may appear to have a yellow cast, a
blue-red or rosy cast, or it may not appear to be either, but a gray color instead.If your
skin appears yellowish or sallow beside the white paper, you have a warm skin tone.
 If your skin appears pink, rosy, or blueish-red, then you have a cool skin tone.
 If your skin appears gray, your skin probably has an olive complexion with a neutral
undertone. The green from your complexion and the yellowish undertone combines to
create this effect.[10] You can experiment with neutral and warm tones, since you fall
somewhere in between.[11]
 If you can't determine any cast of yellow, olive, or pink, you have a neutral skin tone.
Neutral tones can look good in foundations and colors on both ends of the cool/warm
spectrum

Use gold and silver foil or jewelry to find your skin tone. Hold a sheet of gold
foil in front of your face so that it reflects light back on your skin. Note whether it
makes your face look grayish or washed out, or if it enhances your skin. Then try
with a sheet of silver foil.If the gold foil looks best, you have a warm skin tone.
 If the reflection from the silver foil makes your skin glow, you have a cool skin
tone.
 If you don't notice a difference (both silver and gold are flattering), then you
likely have a neutral skin tone.[13]
 If you don't have gold or silver foil, try laying gold and silver jewelry on your
wrist, and notice which one is more flattering
 Warm: If the base tone of your skin is yellow or gold, you have warm undertones.
 Cool: If you see hints of blue, pink or red, then you have cool undertones.
 Neutral: If there’s a mixture of both warm and cool hues, or your undertone is the
same color as your actual skin color, then you fall into the neutral category.
