Take a look at your neck, chest and arms. Choose the word on the below spectrum that best describes your overall complexion.
The skin on your face can be a much different color than your body! You'll get a more natural match by choosing the following based on your overall chest and arm color, instead of face or neck.
Just think in terms of deepness - we'll get to undertones in a second!
There are three categories of undertones:
Pink to Red Undertones: This means your skin has tones of pink or red underneath. Your veins might appear more blue and you most likely gravitate towards wearing silver jewelry.
Yellow to Orange Undertones: This means your skin has tones of yellow, gold or orange underneath. Your veins might appear more green and you most likely gravitate towards wearing gold jewelry.
Neutral Undertones: You have a balanced undertone that is not too pink/red or yellow/gold. Your veins might appear blue-green and you can most likely pull off wearing silver or gold jewelry.
Which selection is more true to your skin tone range?
Imagine you forgot to reapply your SPF (it happens!), and picture how your skin would react. Read through all of the choices before you decide.
Select the photo that shows a representation of your progressing tan, even if you don't get to the lightest or deepest of shades within that selection.
Again, think about your chest, arms and body. If you have more than one shade you're looking for (for example, if you use a different shade on the perimeter of your face), then just answer for the area you'd like to match. Limit to two for the best results!
*Note these are not necessarily grouped by undertone but from lightest to deepest. Pick more than one if you are not quite sure.
