UNDERTONE GUIDE
⚖️ Neutral Undertone
A balance of warm and cool — neither dominates
Signs you have a neutral undertone
- ✓Your wrist veins look blue-green, or you honestly can't tell
- ✓Both gold AND silver jewellery look good on you
- ✓You tan gradually and burn only with real overexposure
- ✓Both white and cream work near your face
Your best colors
Dusty rose
Teal
Mauve
Jade
Soft white
Toffee
Foundation, colors & metals
Foundation: Look for shades labeled N (neutral) or buff, nude, natural beige. You have the widest match range — the shade's depth matters more than its lean.
Clothing colors: Softened versions of almost anything: dusty rose, teal, soft white, mauve, jade — very saturated warm OR cool extremes can overwhelm.
Metals: Both — mixed metals were made for you.
