Am I cool? Or neutral

I've tried the eyes/ white paper thing and not sure. I'm trying to drag my 45 year old face back to life. It's sagging and meh. I thought my tone is a good place to start as I need new clothes too.

Cate! I'll take that and assume I look just like her too.
Here's an eye and non made up face. Do I read it right that I could be warm or cool from each season? I clearly haven't read nearly enough ! It's very interesting though and better than thinking about the looming school run.

Do you think you might have a peach undertone to your skin?

That's what I have and it doesn't neatly fit warm/cool which is annoying when picking a concealer. So I think of myself as neutral. I also have blue/grey eyes and suit rose/taupe make up.

100% cool to me in the latest picture OP!

Yes that's right.

GlamGiraffe · 11/04/2021 22:34

Id say cool from the last pic.

cardoon · 11/04/2021 23:07

Aren't Winter and Summer cool toned seasons and Autumn and Spring warm?

LaCerbiatta · 12/04/2021 01:46

@FreekStar

Purple/blue veins indicate cool undertone.
The veins are a myth! I have green veins and I'm very much cool!
LaCerbiatta · 12/04/2021 01:47

I has my colours done, BTW, not just me saying

@GlamGiraffe

LOL, I would say definitely warm 😀. I thought someone with redish / strawberry blonde hair would always be warm?

The definitive test for me was between pink and orange and the difference was huge! Orange looked dreadful!

FreekStar · 12/04/2021 07:29

Red hair doesn't indicate warmth- lots of redheads, especially those that are very fair have cool toned skin and eyes. It's more about Shintone and eyes than hair.

Mummaofboys93 · 12/04/2021 08:25

I'd still read you as a warm/neutral in your second pic?!

Polkadotpjs · 12/04/2021 08:35

Pink v orange? Is this which you suit? I'll drag some items out and check. I have pink undertones I think for make up as Clarins didn't have a shade for me several years ago and they said it was too yellow for me yet when I see true cool I recognise it and don't see me as icy cool. I'm a mystery and look a bit shit in most stuff Grin

Can you get hold of a peachy and a fuchsia lipstick? If peach makes you look like death and fuchsia doesn't you'll be cool toned.

WrinklesShminkles · 12/04/2021 11:47

I think you're cool toned BTW.

Polkadotpjs · 12/04/2021 14:31

I've tried a (horrible ) peachy orange lip and my current fave pink and happy to be told what you think. Bloody Trump face still lurking though so may throw things off Grin

I have virtually identical colouring OP, and I think I’m cool because of pinky skin and greyish eyes.
However, some websites say that warm hair trumps everything else, so it’s not clear cut.

Polkadotpjs · 12/04/2021 14:36

I look like a bloody hamster too. Damned lockdown weight

The only sure fire way of knowing is to go & get your colours done,if it’s still possible. Lots of people turn out to be completely wrong about what they’ve assumed. I was convinced I’d be a summer but turns out I’m a spring, very pale skin, white blonde hair, turquoise eyes.

Horehound · 12/04/2021 14:39

Ohhh do me do me. What am I?!

Polkadotpjs · 12/04/2021 14:40

I'd say cool for sure to you!

OP posts:
JaneJeffer · 12/04/2021 14:44

I think the peach makes you look younger!

Polkadotpjs · 12/04/2021 15:35

I only hate it because it's super orange. Looks more peach than orange on photo. I'd love to have colours done. I'll have to see how much it costs.

OP posts:
WrinklesShminkles · 12/04/2021 15:40

I think the purple lipstick is more flattering on you, but the peach doesn't seem too bad either.
Maybe... you're NEUTRAL?! 😆😂

Boood · 12/04/2021 15:43

OP your skin and eyes are definitely cool-toned. I’d guess you’re a cool or soft summer.

GlamGiraffe · 12/04/2021 20:17

Maybe try these?
