1. Warm Skin Tones
People Magazine pubished an article called, "What are my Skin's Undertones and How do I Find Them?" which offers some great insight. To find out if you have warm undertones, turn your wrist over and look at the veins at the base of your hand. It helps to get a white piece of paper or surface to compare to. If the veins in your wrist appear to be greenish, you probably have warm undertones!
2. Cool Skin Tones
On the opposite end of the spectrum, we have the cool skin-tones. To see if you have cool undertones, use the same wrist-vein check, but instead look for hints of blue or red in your skin. If these colors are present, you are probably "cool."
Cool skin tones should gravitate toward silver jewelry, which will make you shine. Gold jewelry could clash with your natural coloring. Try Oval Huggie Hoops in Silver or a Silver Twisted Necklace.
3. Neutral Skin Tones
