Frequently Asked Questions
What is skin undertone?
Skin undertone is the subtle color beneath the surface of your skin. Unlike your skin tone (which can change with sun exposure), your undertone stays constant. There are three main undertones: warm (yellow, golden, peachy), cool (pink, red, blue), and neutral (a mix of both). Some people also have olive undertones, which have a greenish tinge.
Why does knowing my undertone matter?
Your undertone determines which foundation shades match you best, which clothing colors flatter you, and even which hair colors complement your complexion. Choosing the wrong undertone in foundation can make your face look gray, orange, or mismatched with your neck.
What is the Fitzpatrick skin type?
The Fitzpatrick scale (Types I-VI) classifies skin based on how it responds to UV exposure. Type I burns very easily and never tans, while Type VI never burns and tans very deeply. It's widely used in dermatology to assess sun sensitivity and recommend sun protection.
Can my skin tone change over time?
Your skin shade can darken or lighten with sun exposure, but your underlying undertone stays the same throughout your life. Seasonal changes are normal — you might need a slightly different foundation shade in summer vs winter, but the undertone should remain consistent.
