1. What is Undertone?
Undertone is the tone of the skin, is the color that lies under the skin and is not related to the color of the skin is skintone.

Contrary to skintone, undertone is often more difficult to determine because it is determined by the pigment melanin under the skin and is not changed by any other factors. At the same time, everyone's undertone will not be the same.

Just like skintone, knowing what your undertone is will be like you raising your cosmetic sensibility, beautifying to a higher level, helping yourself to shine in a subtle and trendy way through jewelry, cosmetics...

Undertone has 3 basic types:

Cool Undertone – Red, pink, or bluish undertones (cool undertones).
Warm Undertone (Warm) – Brown, yellow skin tones (warm tones).
Neutral Undertone – A blend of yellow and pink tones or without both.
​

And in Neutral is also divided into 2 types:

Neutral Cool Undertone: Neutral tone but leans more towards cooler tones.
Neutral Warm Undertone: Neutral tone but leans more towards warm tones.
And the vast majority of Asians' Undertones tend to be more in favor of Warm Undertone and Neutral Undertone.

2. How to determine the "standard" undertone you need to know
2.1 Based on the color of blood vessels under the wrist

This is the most common way to determine undertone, if your blood vessels are colored:

Green: you have a warm undertone.
Blue/purple: you have a cool undertone.
Or you can have both: green and blue or purple – you have a neutral undertone.
2.2  Relying on jewelry

Have you ever had a case of wearing silver jewelry that makes you look more luxurious, more appropriate than gold jewelry? Or conversely, you are good with gold items, but silver makes you look less luxurious?

That is the expression of undertone.

If you are more suitable for silver jewelry, then it's Cool Undertone
If you are more suitable for gold jewelry then you belong to Warm Undertone
If you match both types of jewelry, then congratulations, you are Neutral Undertone.

2.3 Based on the change of skin when under the sun for a long time

If you have the opportunity to go to the beach or have to go somewhere in the sun for a long time, please pay attention to how your skin is at that time, because thanks to that change you will determine your undertone.

If your skin is red and burning, you belong to Cool Undertone, just like you see Westerners when traveling to Vietnam, it is as if their skin will be completely red (Because the vast majority of All whites belong to Cool Undertone)
If your skin is only darkened, your skin is Warm Undertone
Or if your skin is sometimes red and sometimes darkens, you are Neutral Undertone
