Is my skin tone cool or warm ? Pics

[coldcuptea]

Sorry for the rubbish close up picture but either I'm colour blind or it's really hard to figure out . Am starting to believe it's all subjective . Can anyone tell me if I'm cool or warm by the following pic ? Not wearing any makeup at all apart from eye pencil

I am a neutral with a tendency to the warm. I have been house of coloured and she spent AGES trying to work out that first bit because frankly I look awful in both white and ivory. And black and navy for that matter.

I have twin daughters, one warm as honey (my mums colouring) and one icy Hitchcock blonde (mil). I spend ages looking at their veins and skin tone in conjunction with those guidelines to work out which one I'm closest to but I am definitely mousey and neutral in the middle.

From a make up perspective I think it's a case of kissing a lot of frogs. I have had the MAC lady and the Space NK lady try to find something but ultimately Bourgeois works best which is slightly yellow. Boots have me as a cool with their little machine.

Is there a machine at boots ?
Interesting about your twins
Although I'm no good at discerning between cool and warm in general , it's clear to me that my dad who is blond and blue eyed with no warmth or yellow , is a cool, and my mum who has black hair and dark brown eyes with deep tan skin , looks very warm . Maybe I've inherited a bit of both !

I'd say neutral too. Someone cool or warm can answer more definitely WRT jewellery, etc. whilst neutrals are usually able to wear either without it looking or feeling odd. Mixed race usually come in different to the warm/cool definition of pink and yellow anyhow due to the variation of undertones. So you might have the green undertones like most olive skinned people do but not the darker complexion. I think undertones are harder to tell on digital images but if I were to guess I'd say you may have slightly golden undertones which would account for the perceived warmth but you'd officially be neutral. Time of year (and geography) will impact it too, I'm neutral but definitely lean towards cool in winter and go warmer in summer without actually tanning, it's just down to the stance of the sun.

Boots do a foundation and lipstick match thing. Not great for me but the assistant did find me a good 'my lips but better' neutral lipstick of the back of it.

Yes if your parents' colouring are very different it's likely that you're neutral; my mum's a cool toned, freckle blonde with blue eyes, my Dad was Mediterranean so dark eyes, black hair, olive skin.

I'm just pale not at all fair as no pink undertone but you could hardly describe me as olive as I'm paler than those freckly, fair skinned people.

Somebody really needs to look in to the best colours for us neutral tones, I spy a gap in the market 😉

Try different coloured towels or if you have them, scarves, around your neck. See what colours suit you.

The only way I managed to figure this out was to go and get foundation at the same colour level in cool/neutral/warm and try it on my skin - just in little samples).
I could not tell from this look at your veins business or which jewelry suits you better.

You don't look warm at all!! I would bet good money on you being cool.

And most Mediterranean and middle eastern women are cool and veins are no indication whatsoever. I'm Mediterranean, have green veins, olive skin and I'm most definitely cool (have done all the analysis)

And black / blue is not a test for cool / warm. Both colours suit both. The best test is orange / pink for example

Not an expert either but I was under the impression that if you have reddish complexion, you have 'cool' skin and if it has yellow tones to it, like mediterranean skin, it's warm.

Happy to be corrected.

I had the same dilemma, I went to No7, and was read on their little foundation finding machine as , cool Ivory, so I'm satisfied I'm cool skin toned.

Yeah, the white/cream test is no good for me either. I look terrible in both but marginally better in white, however my skin is definitely warm toned.

I dont think you are sallow and have much too much pink in your skin tone. I would say you are cool not warm.

Warm.

In a natural lighted room with no make up on hold a red or yellow A4 sheet of card or paper up to your face.
Then try a blue, white or green sheet up to your face.
If the red or yellow makes your face look better you are warm.
If the blue green or white suits you better you are cool.

You look 100% cool to me! Of course you can be a close to neutral cool. But still cool. I would bet that you look more alive in black and white than in brown. You could post pics with diff coloured tops so we could judge better.

I would deffo say cool but everyone else seems to be saying warm... my theory is if classic red lipstick (with a blue undertone) suits you = cool. If a pillar box red lipstick (more orangey red) suits you = warm.
