The Perfect Pink Lipsticks for Your Skin Tone
August 11, 2020How to Find Your Undertones
One trick for determining your undertones is to look at the veins on the underside of your wrist. If your veins appear blue, you likely have pink or cool undertones. If they appear green, it’s a sign of yellow or warm undertones. If your veins are a blue-green combo, you’re likely neutral. You can also identify your undertones by looking at your jewelry collection. If you gravitate towards silver jewelry, there’s a good chance you’re cool and if you’re a gold jewelry fan, you might have warm undertones.Maybelline New York Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick in Pathfinder
