- Your Guide to Skin Undertones: Warm & Cool
Skin with Warm Undertones
Warm toned skin has a yellow undertone. Women with warm toned skin often prefer to wear deep autumnal colours like oranges, browns, navy blues, and warm greens. They also suit spring colours like creams, corals, soft yellows and deep ruby red.
Words that may describe your skin if you have a warm undertone:
Golden
Olive
Peachy
Skin with Cool Undertones
Cool toned skin has a pink or blue undertone. Women with cool toned skin often prefer to wear fresh, crisp or jewel colours like fuchsia, pure white, icy or cornflower blue, black, purple and bright cherry red.
Words that may describe your skin if you have a cool undertone:
Rosy
Ash
Pinky
*If your skin doesn't fall particularly into either category, you may have neutral skin undertones. See our page about neutral skin here:
To begin with, it's important to note that your skin shade and your skin undertone are two different things. Your skin shade will fall on the spectrum between pale, fair, light, medium, tan, dark and deep.
Whichever shade you are, your skin will still have either a cool, warm or neutral undertone. You can have tanned skin and still be cool! And similarly, you can be very pale but still have a warm yellow undertone.
So how do you know whether you are cool, warm or neutral? There are a few useful ways to gain an idea of what undertone you have. For example, the hue of your jewellery, the shades you see most in your wardrobe, and even the colour that the veins in your wrists appear can all indicate whether you are warm, cool or neutral.
Take our Colour Quiz below to answer a few short questions and find out which undertone your skin has!
Take a look at these galleries of warm toned and cool toned women. When seen together like this, it can be easier to get a sense of the shared undertone of each group.
All makeup on the Look Fabulous Forever website is divided into cool and warm tones to help our customers shop for colours which they will love (if you're neutral, you can choose from either!)
