How to find your skin undertone

                            Hi peeps,

Something I've struggles for a while to understand and figuring out is my skin's undertone. Choosing certain make up products like foundation and blusher. Its pretty important if you want totally coverage as will blend naturally with your skin tones, who doesn't want that lol!!!
              But actually finding a simple way to this was surprisingly hard online as there are many ways but just really not clear still what category your in!! But good news Ive crack the code and by the end of this post im sure can find out what your skin tone is too.

Before getting started finding your skin's undertone thought it might be helpful knowing what it all means.
Your skin undertones are the colours that are underneath the skin surface and cast a shadow on your shin colour. The next test will help you figure out what tone you are.

Test 1
Make sure your in good light preferably natural light. Turn over your arm and look at your vein. If they seem more green then you have yellow undertones and your skin tone is warm. If they appear more blue then you have blue undertones and your skin tone is cool.

Test 2
Another easy way is to look at the natural colour of your hair and eyes. Most likely if you have green, blue or grey eyes with black, brown or blonde hair you have a cool skin tone. So if you have black, brown or hazel eyes with black, brown, blonde or red hair you have warm skin tones.

  Love to know what skin tone yours turned out to be!! Comment below and tell me :) 

Hope this helps and tomorrow I will post abut what colours, make up and hair colour compliment both warm and cool toned skin so look out for that!             
                                                              
                                                        Love Always MizPinkeliciouS
