How to Find Your Undertone

Warm, cool, or neutral? Learn the simple tests that decode your undertone and unlock perfect shade matching.

Getting this right starts with observation, not guesswork. Take your time in natural, indirect light — midday near a window works best — and avoid comparing swatches under warm indoor bulbs, which can skew every shade toward gold.

If you're using your AI Beauty Match results as a starting point, treat the recommended shade as your center point rather than a single fixed answer: skin can shift slightly with the seasons, so it's worth re-scanning every few months, especially after a summer tan fades or in the depths of winter.

When in doubt, our Beauty Match workspace can re-analyze your profile in under a minute — head back to your Beauty Profile any time for an updated read.
