There's been a lot of buzz on TikTok regarding the quest to identify your undertone. Are you inclined toward warm or cool undertones?

Beauty enthusiasts and content creators have stressed the importance of knowing your undertone to determine which makeup colors and shades suit you best. Cool tones tend to have pinkish hues, while warm tones lean toward yellowish tones.

Want to determine whether you possess warm, cool, or neutral undertones? Here are some widely shared tests on the internet that can help you find the answer.

1. Vein test

Check the veins on your wrist, especially in natural light. If they appear more blue, you likely have cool undertones. If your veins appear more greenish, you may have warm undertones. If both blue and greenish veins appear on your wrist, you may have a neutral undertone.

2. White paper or white cloth test

Hold a white piece of paper or cloth next to your face in natural light. If your skin appears more rosy or pink against the white, you probably have cool undertones. If your skin looks more yellow or peachy, you likely have warm undertones. If it's not distinctly one or the other, you may have neutral undertones.

3. Jewelry test

Consider whether silver or gold jewelry looks better on you. If silver enhances your features, you might have cool undertones. If gold is more flattering, you might have warm undertones. If they both look good on you, you may have a neutral undertone.

4. Sun test

Reflect on how your skin reacts to sun exposure. If you tend to burn easily, your cheeks turn rosy, and you have difficulty tanning, you may have cool undertones. If you tan more easily and rarely burn, you may have warm undertones. If your skin's reaction is in between, you may have neutral undertones.

5. Color test

Assess how you look in different colored clothing. If cool colors (blues, purples, and greens) complement your skin, you likely have cool undertones. If warm colors (reds, yellows, and oranges) enhance your appearance, you likely have warm undertones. If both cool and warm colors suit you, you may have neutral undertones.

6. "Reveal Your Undertone" filter on TikTok

There is a trending filter on TikTok called "Reveal Your Undertone," created by the clean beauty brand Kosas, which you may use to identify your undertone. For optimal results, it is recommended to use this filter in natural light.

With six sets of skin shades, the filter displays swatches labeled neutral, cool, warm, and olive tone foundation on your cheeks. You can easily move these swatches around your face to identify which one blends seamlessly with your skin.
