How To Find Your Skin Tone?
You need to understand your skin tone and skin undertone. The first one is the surface color that is usually divided into fair, medium, and dark. The latter one is the hue underneath the surface. It can be cool, neutral, and warm. People find it difficult to identify their undertone. It is simple. If your skin is pink, red, or bluish, you have cool undertones, if it is yellow, orange, or gold, you have warm undertones. The mixture of both will be the neutral undertone.

Test with a white Paper
Stand Infront of a mirror and hold a piece of paper next to your face. If your face looks pink as compared to the white paper, you have a cool undertone. If you look yellow, your undertone is warm. Not yellow, nor pink is the indication of a neutral undertone.
Choose Your Foundation & Concealer
Once you understand your skin tone and skin undertone, it becomes easier to choose the right foundation shade. Always test a foundation shade on your jawline. Never go for a shade that is too far from your neck color. Examine your foundation in natural light or indoors. It should fully blend into your skin. Choose a concealer that is a half shade lighter than your foundation.
Go for Translucent Powder
Finding the right shade of compressed powder is as difficult as finding the right foundation shade. The translucent powder is the ultimate solution. It goes with every skin tone and the undertone.
Right Shades for Your Cheeks and Lips
A simple trick to choose the right shade of blush is to go with your natural undertone. If you have a warm undertone, go for warmer shades of peach, coral, or tangerine. Fuchsia, pink, and berry complement the cool undertone. Mauve shade blush looks perfect on a neutral undertone.
Your blush and lip color needs to complement each other to enhance your looks. The bright red or soft pink lip colors look best on a cool undertone. Orange-hued shades are perfect for a fair and warm undertone. If you have a medium skin tone, you can try a variety of nudes, pinks, and reds. Purple and berry shades are for darker skin tones.
