How to Find Your Undertone (and Finally Nail Your Foundation Match)
How to Find Your Undertone (and Finally Nail Your Foundation Match)
We’ve all been there- standing in front of the mirror, wondering why our foundation looks too pink, too yellow, or just off. The secret to finding your perfect shade isn’t just about how light or deep your skin tone is- it’s about your undertone.
In this guide, we’ll help you work out your undertone and show you how to get your flawless match with the Lust Minerals Colour Match Service.
What Is an Undertone?
Your undertone is the subtle hue beneath the surface of your skin that affects how colours look on you. While your skin tone can change with sun exposure or seasons, your undertone always stays the same.
There are three main categories:
-
Cool undertones → hints of pink, red, or blue beneath the skin.
-
Warm undertones → golden, peachy, or yellow tones.
-
Neutral undertones → a balance of both warm and cool.
Quick Ways to Find Your Undertone
Still unsure where you sit? Try these at-home tricks:
-The Vein Test: Look at the veins on your wrist. If they appear blue or purple, you likely have cool undertones. If they look greenish, you’re probably warm. Can’t decide? You’re likely neutral.
-Jewellery Test: Do you suit silver or gold better? Silver tends to flatter cool undertones, while gold pops on warm undertones. If both work, you’re neutral.
-White vs Cream Test: Hold a pure white fabric next to your face, then cream. If white looks best, you’re cool-toned. If cream is more flattering, you’re warm. Both? Neutral again.
Why Undertone Matters for Foundation
The wrong undertone can make your foundation look unnatural- either too ashy, too orange, or simply mismatched. Once you know your undertone, it becomes much easier to find your perfect Lust Minerals foundation shade that blends seamlessly with your skin.
