"HOW DO I DETERMINE MY UNDERTONE?" ...
First you need to figure out if you have a "warm" or "cool" skin tone. All skin has yellow in it, but the degree of yellow present in the skin will push someone into warm or cool. Take a look in the mirror and decide if you see more yellow to green in your coloring. If you do, then you have a warm undertone or also referred to as "olive". If you see more pink, purple or blue, then you have a cool undertone or referred to as "ruddy". If you have trouble figuring this out, you can always check the the veins on your inner wrist. This means, green veins equals warm undertone and blue veins mean cool undertone! Yes, some people can be both and can wear mostly any colors! Once you determine your correct undertone, you will have a much easier time picking out complimentary shades of blush, eyeshadow and base formulas best suited for you.
"WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A "CONCEALER" AND A "NEUTRALIZER"
Concealers are flesh colored. Pick 2-3 shades lighter than your base color. Apply concealers after your base. If you apply before your base color the product will be wiped away and you will be lose most of your concealer. We use concealers because we want to highlight the face. Always set with a powder afterwards for maximum staying power!
Neutralizers come in lots of different colors and most people stray from buying them because they look kind of scary. If used properly, you can get great results.
Think of a neutralizer as "canceling" out any unwanted tones in the skin. You apply your neutralizing color before your base color. Most people buy these products to help correct dark circles under the eyes, blemishes or age spots/sunspots. If you know anything about the color wheel, then you can figure out how to neutralize.
- Blue (under the eyes) is neutralized by Orange
- Brown (around the eye area, age spots or sun spots) is neutralized by Pink
- Yellow is thought as "special yellow" and since all skin possesses yellow it can be used on everyone. Yellow can neutralize purple tones too!
