What Does Skin's Undertone Mean?
The flawless, natural-glowing look depends upon the skin tone and undertone. Moreover, the skin’s undertone plays a major role in choosing the right blush for you. Skin’s undertone is the subtle hue beneath the skin’s surface that influences how colours appear on a person. It remains constant even if the skin tone changes with sun exposure or seasons. There are three categories of skin’s undertones.
Cool Undertones: Hints of pink, red, or blue tones beneath the skin
Warm Undertones: Hints of yellow, golden or peachy tones beneath the skin
Neutral Undertones: A mic of both warm and cool tones.
The right blush shade enhances the facial features, giving a brighter complexion and even acts as a subtle contour when applied correctly. Here’s a guide for you to choose the perfect blush shade as per your skin tone.
