Pick The Right One For Your Undertone
But pay close attention to your skin’s undertone. There are three types of possible skin undertones – cool, warm, and neutral. Our first step is to determine the correct undertone. For this step, look at your inner wrists closely. If you spot your veins, notice their colour. If they seem to have a blue-ish hue, you have cool undertones, but if your veins appear to be green, you have warm undertones. Now if you think that your veins are a mix of blue and green veins, you have neutral undertones. This test can also be performed by observing the inner side of your elbow.
Just Double Checkin’
The next step is to double-check your skin’s undertone. Take your favourite jewellery pieces out, and notice which kind of jewellery goes better with your skin’s complexion – gold or silver. you can also take the help of your friends and family to determine the same. If gold complements your skin the best, you have warm undertones, but if silver complements your skin the best, you have cool undertones. If both types of jewellery look good on you, you have neutral undertones.
