Cool vs Warm
Which shade suits me?
Identifying whether you have cool or warm skin will help you determine what colour cosmetics will match your skin colour.
I find its easiest to do this by looking at the under-side of your forearm. Turn over your arm and look at your skin, if it looks like it has a pink undertone you have cool skin, if it looks like it has more of a yellow undertone you have warm skin!
If you’re still not sure, people with cool skin often blush easily and have a tendency to show redness or get red cheeks. Warm skins are often olive and tan fairly easily.
Cool skin types please note: Sometimes when you have very pink or red skin (Rosacea) it pays to counteract that redness with a warm foundation. For this reason, we have more warm and neutral shades of foundation than we do cool.
Still not sure? Stick with shades from the “neutral” column below. We also recommend you complete the Boss course! https://makeitlookeasy.com.au/
