Understanding skin undertones

Skin undertone represents the color found beneath the surface layer of the skin. While surface tone can change due to sun exposure or redness, the underlying hue remains consistent. The most common categories for these undertones include cool, warm, neutral, and olive.

Finding the right match

Identifying your specific undertone helps consumers select appropriate foundations and concealers without looking orange or gray. Daniel Martin, a global director of artistry at Tatcha, notes that matching is often difficult for people with neutral tones. Proper identification prevents common mistakes made when choosing complexion products.
