Makeup for Cool Undertone

Tired of buying makeup that somehow always makes you look orange or chalky? House Of Makeup offers you makeup products specially curated for Indian skin shades with cool undertones. 

What Is A Cool Undertone?

Undertones refer to the subtle color beneath your actual skin’s surface, which lends a tinge of yellow, pink, or neutral hue to your skin. Undertones do not change with sun exposure. This is why undertones play an important role when it comes to makeup products, especially base makeup. 

How To Identify Your Undertone?

Identifying your undertone simplifies the tedious process of buying makeup products and matching shades. This helps in picking up products that blend seamlessly into your skin tones without making you look ashy or chalky. Here are some of the simplest methods to detect your undertones. 

The Jewelry Test:  

Hold pieces of both gold and silver jewelry against your skin. If your silver jewelry complements your skin better than gold jewelry, you have a cool undertone. If gold jewellery suits you more, you likely have a warm undertone. And if both silver and gold look good on you, you have a neutral undertone.

The Vein Test:

This test requires you to look at your wrist veins under natural light. If they seem more bluish or purple, it indicates a cool undertone. Warm undertones usually have greenish-looking veins. If your veins appear greenish as well as bluish/purplish, you most likely have a neutral undertone.

White Fabric/Paper Test:

Hold up a piece of white paper or cloth against your face. If your skin appears pinkish, you mostly have a cool undertone. If your skin tone appears ivory/grey, you likely have a neutral undertone. And if your skin tone tends toward yellow/olive, you possibly have a warmer undertone.

Makeup Tips for a Flawless Base for Cool Undertone

  • Avoid golden or yellow-undertone based base products as they tend to create an unnatural contrast in comparison to your actual skin tone, and will make you look orange

  • Use a lightweight and buildable formulation to prevent patchiness

  • Use thin, well-blended layers for a seamless, skin-like finish

  • Opt for cool-toned blush and lip shades like berry, plum, and soft pink

  • Highlight with silver or white tones to enhance natural radiance

  • Always test products on your jawline in natural light for the best match

  • Prep your skin well to ensure makeup sits smoothly and lasts long.
