Determining your skin tone and undertones is crucial for selecting eyeshadow colors that complement your complexion and enhance your natural features. Here’s how you can identify your skin tone and undertones to create a custom eyeshadow palette:

1. Skin Tone

• Fair/Light: Your skin appears pale or porcelain with hints of pink or peach undertones. You may burn easily in the sun and have visible veins that appear blue or purple.
• Medium: Your skin has a warm, golden, or olive tone. You may tan easily and have a mixture of pink and golden undertones.
• Tan/Olive: Your skin has a deeper, sun-kissed tone with warm, golden, or olive undertones. You may have more melanin and tan easily without burning.
• Deep/Dark: Your skin is richly pigmented with deep brown or ebony tones. You may have warm, cool, or neutral undertones.

2. Undertones

• Warm Undertones: Your skin has golden, peachy, or yellow undertones. Warm undertones are complemented by shades like gold, bronze, warm browns, and peachy-pinks.
• Cool Undertones: Your skin has pink, red, or blue undertones. Cool undertones are complemented by shades like silver, cool blues, purples, and mauves.
• Neutral Undertones: Your skin has a balanced mix of warm and cool undertones, or your undertones are less pronounced. Neutral undertones can wear a wide range of shades but may lean towards one side or the other.

How to Determine Your Skin Tone and Undertones:

1. Vein Test: Look at the veins on the inside of your wrist or forearm under natural light.
   • Blue/Purple Veins: Cool undertones
   • Green Veins: Warm undertones
   • Mix of Blue and Green Veins: Neutral undertones
2. Jewelry Test:
   • Gold Jewelry: Often complements warm undertones
   • Silver Jewelry: Often complements cool undertones
   • Both Gold and Silver Jewelry: Neutral undertones
3. White vs. Off-White Test: Hold a piece of white paper and a piece of off-white paper near your face.
   • White Paper: If your face looks brighter and healthier against white, you likely have warm undertones.
   • Off-White Paper: If your face looks brighter against off-white, you likely have cool undertones.
4. Sun Exposure Test:
   • Sunburn vs. Tan: If you tend to burn easily and have difficulty tanning, you likely have cool undertones.
   • Tan Without Burning: If you tan easily without burning, you likely have warm undertones.

Custom Eyeshadow Palette Selection:

• Warm Undertones: Opt for warm shades like gold, bronze, copper, peach, warm browns, and coral.
• Cool Undertones: Choose cool shades like silver, cool blues, purples, mauves, cool greys, and pinks.
• Neutral Undertones: You have the flexibility to wear both warm and cool shades. Experiment with a variety of colors to find what complements your skin best.

When creating your custom eyeshadow palette, consider selecting a mix of shades that complement your skin tone and undertones. Include versatile shades for transition, highlighting, and defining the eyes, as well as statement colors that enhance your natural beauty and personal style. You can learn more here
