Types of Undertones: Identify Yours for Radiant, Balanced Skin

Understanding Undertones and Their Role in Skincare

When selecting skincare or makeup products, recognizing your skin’s undertone is essential. Undertones are the subtle hues beneath your skin’s surface that influence how products like foundation or toner interact with your complexion. Common undertones include red/pink, yellow/gold, olive/green, and neutral, each affecting how your skin appears and responds to different formulations. Identifying your undertone can be simplified by observing your skin in natural light against a white background, focusing on areas like your jawline and neck. This awareness helps in choosing products that enhance your natural glow and avoid ashy or mismatched results.
