The first step is to answer a few questions:
What color do you see when you hold a blank piece of white paper next to your face? If your skin appears more yellow, than you're probably warm. If your skin looks pink, then you're likely on the cool side.
Look at your wrists in natural light. Are your veins more blue or green? People with veins that appear blue or purple have cool skin tones, while those with warm tones have veins that look green.
Do you look better in gold or silver? We're guessing your jewelry collection probably contains a healthy mix of both, so we're going to go ahead and call out this trick for being a bit outdated. (Oh, and you can ignore that business about seasons and contrast, too. When it comes to wardrobe, wear what you like, when you like.) But if you're still unsure, try taking a look at your favorite or most-worn baubles for answers.
Still not sure? If you go both ways, don't fret. You're skin tone is probably neutral, meaning you can basically rock any color without issue—lucky you.
Now that we've narrowed in on your undertones to find a foundation that matches your skin, it's time to move on to the bigger beauty picture: a full face of makeup. Proceed to chart number two and you'll find that rosy and blue-based colors complement cool skin, while earthy makeup tones are practically made for warm shades. (Nix that part about "beautiful golden brown" tans though; no matter your coloring, you should stay out of the sun. Skin cancer isn't worth it.) And if you really, really, really still have no clue what colors are for you, take a hint from the recommendations below and play up your eye color. It's a no-fail way to make sure you're at least on the right track and highlighting what you've got.
