Know Your Undertone
Look at the veins on your wrist. Blue/purple = cool, green = warm, both = neutral. This helps narrow down your best shades.
Check in Natural Light
Screens display colors differently. Use this tool as a starting guide, then check your chosen shade in daylight for the truest match.
Contrast is Key
Fair skin pops with bold or muted tones. Darker skin stuns with vibrant brights and rich deeps. Medium skin is versatile with almost everything!
