Step #1 of Color Analysis - What's Your Undertone? Find out your skin undertone - are you cool or warm?
Your skin undertone is the coloring underneath the surface of your skin and does not change during your lifetime. Knowing whether you have a cool or a warm skin undertone is a key piece of information about yourself to take with you makeup shopping and when choosing a hair color at the hair salon.
If you choose a makeup or hair color that does not match your skin undertone, you could be making yourself look dull, washed out, older and if you have any skin imperfections such as acne or scarring these imperfections may be magnified.
The best way to find out your skin undertone is by having a color analysis. However, if you are unable to have a color analysis done, I share with you two tests you can do on your own to assess whether you have a cool or a warm skin undertone in the video above.
I hope this video inspires you to wear your authenticity!

Hey everyone! Are you still having trouble figuring out your skin undertone? Your comments on here inspired me to put together the simpliest way I know -- look at your eye pattern - so easy and accurate. Check out this video to find out more - ua-cam.com/video/BXsWCIN5nQM/v-deo.html
Please help? If I am cool skin what color so I pick? Cool or warm? This is confusing. Do you pick cool colors like your skin or opposite like warm? Thanks and enjoy your tutorials
@@blackwidowotilia hi, if you're cool then you pick cool toned things to wear and vice versa.
I find it so confusing :(

Your eye pattern method finally put my confusion to rest. Neutral leaning warm.
OMG! you nailed it! So much conflicting information out there. I loved how simple and clear you made it.
it also helps that the light is coming in from the right your left side,changes everything.
Exactly!!
Way too excited for this YAY!!! 😍also you look so fresh and GLOWING!! 😘❤❤
Thanks for sharing this Carol... I always wanted to understand this basic thing about silver vs gold and now I get that it has to do with skin undertone. Thank you! Looking forward to learning more from your videos!

this is soooo much better than checking ur vien colour theory.
according to wat u said
gold suits me more
so m a warm undertone
sg bhatti Glad you enjoyed the video! You may also enjoy my new free phone app on the App store and Google Play called Shopping My Colors (shoppingmycolors.com). I find the vein test to be a bit tricky and what I can tell you is many people have blue veins (who are warm) around their wrist area which even makes it trickier. That's exactly why I did this video to give you some alternatives. So glad you found it helpful!
I'm a neutral, but I lean pink. I can pull off soft autumn and soft summer. I have to be careful of saturated color, but the right orange looks amazing on me.
This stuff has been around forever. Wear what makes you feel beautiful
Thank You So Much Carol for your Insightful Analysis! Take Good Care! 💖 OM MANI PADME HUM!
This was really helpful!
I enjoyed the video but I think that both the gold and the silver would look equally good with your skin tone. The side where you placed the silver fabric is where the light is hitting your eye in the video, making your eye look brighter. The other side has a shadow and your eye looks dull and you can't really appreciate it's color. Any color of fabric on that side (left hand side of the viewer) would make you look more washed out because the lighting on the right hand side of the viewer reflects upon your eye and we can see the color of your eye better. I would want to see this same test done in really excellent lighting that doesn't favor one side of your face. I think we would find that you look beautiful regardless because it's not what color you wear that counts, but how it's worn.
Nomada Sin Rumbo Definitely lighting in this video - check out this video where I explain in much more detail and lighting is more natural - ua-cam.com/video/hkur0YJY0-w/v-deo.html
those PowerPoint slide transitions though
I'm still a little confused as to what undertone I have. I'm tend to tan easily and rarely ever burn, I have dark brown eyes and black hair as well. Gold seems to blend in with my skin tone a lot, but I personally feel that silver looks better on me as well as a crisp white color.
+Carol Brailey Image Consulting your other video helped so much, thank you! Turns out I have cool undertones!
I saw the silver suited you better, it looked as if the gold gave you a bit of dark circles under your eye. Good vid.
Thanks for watching! Glad you saw the benefits of the silver in the video!

If you watch this video without the audio it looks like a woman dressed up as a nun pretending to have fabric ears
Hi! I think I'm a cool undertone! I was wondering, could I get away with a cool metallic gold, compared to a more yellow gold. Is that a thing?
I am soooo confused. I seem to have cool toned skin but my hair has always had gold and red in it so that indicates warm hair color.
You have a warm undertone and cool color eyes
Eva R Definitely a lighting issue in this video. Check out this video where I explain further and there is much more natural light - ua-cam.com/video/hkur0YJY0-w/v-deo.html
The word "undertone" sounds confusing. If undertone is under the skin and we can't see it why does it make a difference if it's cool or warm? I am struggling with finding my undertone. I had my colour analysis done back in the '80's and was told that I am a Spring. I also went to Carol Baker Visage and was told that I am a Sunrise. A sunrise has many more colours and some colours are warm and some are cool. My confusion is that I think I can wear both silver and gold jewellery but that may not be correct. Wondering if I may be a neutral.
Actually Iike quite a lot of the other comments I thought the warm tones suited you better
Definitely silver
I need a woman like you..
❤
Hi. Do you have a video dedicated to neutral undertone?
Could you please do a vedio on what makeup colors to ware with cool skin tones and gray hair
Thanks for watching! Your best makeup choices have to do with what your seasonal colour analysis results are - these videos cover off my makeup colour recommendations for each seasonal colour palette - ua-cam.com/play/PLMywYwW43xgug112bogXGAXpEc5Q-NRhR.html. Your hair colour really doesn't come into the mix for your best makeup colour choices - see this video of mine on why ua-cam.com/video/p6VchYYfnEg/v-deo.html OR this one as well ua-cam.com/video/PoqKIv4V_x8/v-deo.html. Hope these videos help! Thanks again for watching!
debbie greer You may also be interested in my new free phone app - Shopping My Colors at www.shoppingmycolors.com. This app gives recommended makeup colors (and how to test) for each color palette.
A question I have is that I have naturally jet blue black hair, but my skin tone is slightly warm. I have both blue and yellow undertones, but I lean slightly more yellow and have been analyzed as a Deep Autumn. (My hair has been lightened to dark brown with caramel highlights). I look slightly better with cream vs. optic white. If my hair is naturally jet blue/black, does that mean I have naturally just looked “off” all my life with the mismatched cool black hair and slightly warm skin tone? I am trying to make sense out of it. Thank you!
these tests are pretty good. the one thing i will disagree with you on is the undertone of the skin not changing over time. i came into some health issues a couple years ago that lead me to develop Gilbert's disease on two separate occasions. my skin was never as pink/cool toned afterwards. growing up i was always cool toned with blue viens. now i'm neutral. i look good in either colour of jewelry. this also makes it hard to find a bronzer shade that is not too orange or too muddy or grey. thank you for posting this video.
Undertone is based on the amount of hemoglobin and carotene in your blood. Hemoglobin is amount of cool and carotene is amount of warm -- hence why your undertone doesn't change in your lifetime. What can change is skin tone.
maryratti I have Gilbert's Syndrome too! My skin is really really yellow and the veins on my wrist are purple while all the rest are really green so I have absolutely no idea what my skin tone or undertone is 😳
I am confused I am a natural redhead/strawberry blonde now that I am older. I have light eyes blue/green and I always burn never tan. I was guessing I was cool but then when you said if you have strawberry blonde hair you are warm. Which one is it? I am so confused.
I thought the gold and warm white looked better on you
i agree
truth
My latest video may help - ua-cam.com/video/sNA_6KpSpzw/v-deo.html
Could be the lighting coming across in this video. My latest video gives you things to look out for.
I totally agree. I was a mix of everything she demonstrated!
+Carol Brailey जींस की पैंट शर्ट जेंस पैंट शर्ट
what if its both gold and silver
Iam confused I can tan easily never burned and gold suits more but burgundy also suits more than red does eye colour from far away is black from nearby its brown natural hair with black+ brown which confuses me am I warm undertone or cool undertone
Lady, you are warm tone
+PrettyPurpleful definitely a lighting thing in this video. In person in natural light I'm cool. Whole point of video though is to share these tests with you to try out on your own in natural daylight. Thanks for watching!
It would be helpful if you told us what exactly to look for. Often when doing different colors my face seems to reflect a color like it soaks it up. Is that indicative of "my" color? Honestly I've tried to figure this for decades with no success. I have also had two drapings done at different times with completely opposing outcomes. Help!
My latest video may help - ua-cam.com/video/sNA_6KpSpzw/v-deo.html
Are you saying your cool? I thought you were warrm. 🙂
I need a lot of help.😄
Appreciated
I'm pretty neutral. What crazy colors would work for me?
Nicole Knight Thanks for watching! You will likely still lean cool or warm (ua-cam.com/video/V-qX9pejGmo/v-deo.html). Determining your skin undertone is just the first step in a color analysis - next steps would be to determine your primary color season and flow of color season -- then ultimately you will know your best hair, makeup, clothing and accessory colors. Check out my free app (shoppingmycolors.com) or a few of my other videos -- they may help. Thanks again for watching!
Again. If I am cool tone does that mean I pick a cool color or warm? No one specifies it? Anyone know?
There are 3 aspects to every colour -- undertone, value, intensity -- if cool, you pick cool... But that's only one of the 3 aspects of colour. I would recommend finding out all that are in harmony with you thru seasonal colour analysis. More details in several of my other videos.
well explained
Would you please post a results video of after doing the 3 steps (undertone, eye pattern,..)? Because i feel like having warm undertone but my eye color is cool?
I have a whole playlist on this at this link - Virtual Color Analysis / Online Color Analysis Walkthroughs: ua-cam.com/play/PLMywYwW43xgsxT5HIIhUTljB64GDzbbyb.html
Hope this helps! Thanks for watching! 💖🙏 I also recommend checking out my in person analysis videos I've done recently of True Summer and True Winter in this playlist Featured Uploads: ua-cam.com/play/PLMywYwW43xgvn2jrboo4VWgnJ_gcFkHpR.html
This seemed too subjective. Plus the lighting is poor. You need decent lighting, or at least face the lighting to avoid shadows. The left side of your face [our right] is lit, while the other side is darker. Not sure how one proceeds without having basic lighting addressed. IMO. But thanks. Watched your eye pattern qualities vid. Interesting.
👍
I change between colors easily. Eh.
You look as though you have warm tones but the lighting is deceiving. Your hair seems to be reddish, again warm. Thanks for video.
Definitely a lighting thing in this video!!! Check out some of my more recent videos... Better lighting and better content. Thanks for watching and commenting!!! PS my natural hair colour is ash brown 🌟💖🙏
I get it. I never believed I looked good blonde but I listened to other people saying I need to go lighter as I reach 48, NOT. Miss my dark healthy curly. Ugh blonde looks ugly on me
My face and legs are lighter than my arms and hands and I don't know what to do when wearing makeup or certain colors in clothing
All bets are off when one's freakishly pale and olive-toned, though...
Why? You definitely will either lean cool or warm still and finding your best colors will make you sparkle! This online color draping video may help you as well - ua-cam.com/video/XvPXCcCRLhA/v-deo.html
Hmm. Well, having tried this experiment, I've come to the conclusion that I look absolutely hideous in anything but black, charcoal, burgundy, and deep violet/purple. Being a (nearly lifelong) g*th has its advantages! ;D
Yay! Glad this got you experimenting! :-)
Thanks, Carol! :)

I have blue veins and darkish green eyes with gold flecks in them. I keep my hair a golden blonde becuz I don't like drab grey ashy tones. But I want a haircolor that can maybe tone down my Ruddy complexion. What should I do?!
i’ll wear whatever i want to wear 🙄
Acne is a skin imperfection? Yeah no, I'm not watching this.
