How Undertone Actually Works

Hey Gorgeous! 💖

Let’s talk about undertones—the secret ingredient that makes some colors look amazing on you and others, well, not so much. Understanding your undertone can unlock the magic of finding colors that truly make you glow. Ready to dive in? Let’s go!

What Are Undertones?

Your undertone is the subtle color underneath the surface of your skin that stays consistent, no matter how tanned or pale you are. Think of it as your skin’s vibe—it’s what makes warm golds or cool silvers look better on you. There are three main types:

1. Warm Undertones: These have a golden, peachy, or yellow hue. Warm colors like earthy reds, oranges, and olive greens tend to make you shine.

2. Cool Undertones: These lean pink, red, or bluish. Cool shades like icy blues, purples, and jewel tones are your besties.

3. Neutral Undertones: A mix of warm and cool—lucky you! You can rock a balance of both warm and cool colors. Your best colors, however, will fall right in the middle of the spectrum between warm and cold, colors that are as balanced as you are.

Why Undertones Matter

Wearing colors that match your undertone makes your skin look radiant, your eyes pop, and your overall vibe harmonious. It’s like stepping into your personal glow zone. On the flip side, wearing the wrong undertones can make your skin look dull or uneven—and we don’t want that!

Let's break down how your glow superpower works:

• Warm Colors: Packed with yellow sunshine, these hues create harmony with warm undertones. Think golden yellows, earthy reds, and olive greens—all designed to make you shine.

• Cool Colors: With a splash of blue vibes, cool shades perfectly complement cool undertones. Jewel tones, icy blues, and purples are your go-to for a radiant look.

• The Tricky Mix: When warm undertones meet cool hues (like yellow undertones mixing with blue shades), it can create a greenish tint that dulls your radiance. Sticking to colors that vibe with your undertone keeps your glow on point!

Remember, gorgeous, all colors—both your natural tones and what you wear—exist on a spectrum. Some matches will be absolutely magical, some just okay, and others might not be your vibe (and that’s okay!). It’s all about finding that sweet harmony and steering clear of the ones that don’t bring out your best glow.

Your Undertone, Your Rules

Here’s the thing, gorgeous: your undertone is a guide, not a rulebook. Love a color that’s not in your undertone zone? Wear it anyway! You can tweak shades to suit you (think warmer blues or cooler yellows) or just rock it because it makes you happy. Confidence is always the best color!

So, play around, have fun, and let your undertone be your secret weapon for feeling fabulous. You’ve got this! ✨
