What’s Your Skin Colour?
We all know our skin colour right? It’s actually a bit more complicated than what appears on the surface; it’s easy to tell if you’re brown or light-skinned - but you also need to find out your undertones. Undertones can be broken down into the following categories; cool (pink, red or blue), warm (yellow, peach, golden) and neutral (mix of warm & cool). Take a look at your veins; blue = cool undertones, green = warm undertones and if you see both colours then you have neutral undertones!
