💛 A Guide to Yellow Undertone Skin (Finding Your Perfect Warm Tone) 💛

Finding the perfect foundation can be one of the biggest challenges in makeup. You might find a shade that looks right in the bottle, but when you apply it, it looks slightly off—too pink or ashy. This common problem usually comes down to one thing: your skin's undertone.

If you have a yellow undertone skin, you have what is known as a "warm" undertone. Understanding this is the secret to unlocking your most flattering makeup and clothing colors. It is a true game-changer for your beauty routine.

This guide will provide three simple, at-home tests to help you determine if you have a warm undertone. Let's find your true hue! ✅

🤔 First, What Is a Skin Undertone?

It is important to know the difference between your skin tone and your undertone. Your skin tone is the surface color of your skin (e.g., fair, medium, deep). This can change with sun exposure. Your undertone is the permanent, subtle hue beneath your skin's surface. This never changes.

A yellow undertone skin means your skin has a natural warmth to it. The underlying color is yellow, golden, or peachy. This is the most common undertone for many people, including those with an olive complexion. It is the classic warm tone.

- How Can You Easily Find Your Undertone? (The 3 Tests)

You do not need to be a makeup artist to figure this out. These simple tests, done in natural daylight, will give you a clear answer.

1. What is The Vein Test?

This is the quickest and most popular method. Look at the veins on the inside of your wrist.

• If your veins appear predominantly green or olive, you have a warm (yellow) undertone. This is because you are seeing your blue veins through your yellow-toned skin, which makes them look green.

2. How does The Jewelry Test work?

This is another fantastic clue. Which color of metal makes your skin look most vibrant and healthy? Lay a piece of gold and a piece of silver jewelry on your arm.

• If you find that gold jewelry looks the most flattering, you have a warm (yellow) undertone.

3. What is The White T-Shirt Test?

Hold a piece of pure, stark white fabric and a piece of off-white or cream fabric up to your face (with no makeup on).

• If the off-white or cream color is more flattering and the stark white washes you out, you have a warm (yellow) undertone.

⭐ What Are the Best Makeup Colors for a Yellow Undertone?

Once you know you have a yellow undertone skin, choosing makeup becomes so much easier. Here are the best colors to look for.

Foundation: This is the most important part. Look for foundations that are specifically labeled with a "W" for Warm. The shade names will often include words like "Golden," "Honey," "Caramel," or "Beige." Avoid foundations that look pink in the bottle.

Blush: Peachy, coral, and warm terracotta shades will look the most natural and flattering.

Lipstick: Orange-reds, brick reds, corals, and warm nude shades will be your best friends.
