I am buying somemake up that asks you to define if you have a yellow= warm undertone, or a pink= cool undertone.
This is a pic of me . Anyone know ???!! I just cant see.
Sorry about my neck, but at 58 its had a good life 🤣

I’d say cool although it is hard to tell on very pale skin. Your skin reads pink to me, not yellow/sallow.

Red suits you I wouldn’t have known it wasn’t natural. I think the idea is if you’re blonde and cool toned you go for cool ashy colours like platinum.

I'm sticking with cool.

RosesAndHellebores · 05/10/2022 20:20

I'd say warm. Spring not Autumn. Do the kettlewell colour quiz.

PunishmentRoundupWithJoon · 05/10/2022 20:49

You have lovely skin - gorgeous colouring whether warm or cool!

I believe I'm in between warm and cool too. Like you, white suits me, gives a fresh look.

The colour you are wearing in the first pic looks great on you.

You look gorgeous! I'd say you have cool colouring.
What colours would you say suit you best?

wfrances · 05/10/2022 22:50

I feel your pain
I've recently been to 2 makeup counters (Dior / Chanel )
I have very dark hair , dark eyes / brows
Very Pale skin with pink cheeks
The best match for me was Dior forever skin glow 1cr ( cool rosey glow )
I also had white /ash hair until I was 5 and then it just got darker and darker

Cool heading to neutral skin - eyes are definitely cool x

Looking at your photographs again, even though all your answers suggest you are a cool, I wonder whether you actually are a warm (your undertone is warm) and a "spring" according to color analysis. I say this as your red hair does suit you, as does your coral toned lip-stick. And your eyes are that bright blue that some springs have, rather than the more grey-blue of a summer. Even though you are pale, you may well have warm undertones. I can imagine you in some splashy spring colors, like coral and turquoise. Would these suit you, do you think?

Alltheseasonsaregood · 06/10/2022 09:30

Ruthietuthie yes i really suit rose red, deep r
Coral, turq, sea greens. Deep lime, mid blue.
Look awful in black only, burgandy only, mud colours.
I think i am a spring too and buy those t shirts from kettlewell. Its the not knowing my skin tone and make up artists at counters often put me in a yellow tone foundation, coral lips .and i often look dirty when they do that somwthing is wrong. They assume as i havw the res hair ans some fre kles i am warm ?
Thanks for saying i havw niçe skin folks. That was really kind . I am approching 60 and its so nice ro be told that
