Hey friends! I'm somewhat new to all this color theory stuff and trying to understand my skin undertone without spending a heap of money or visiting a pro color consultant. I've tried a number of things I found online, like checking the vein color on my wrist and seeing which jewelry matches me better—silver or gold—but I'm not totally sure if those are the most accurate at-home methods. Sometimes my veins look kind of blue-green based on the light, which just adds to the confusion. I also did the white paper test where you hold a sheet of white paper next to your face to see if your skin looks more yellowish or pinkish, but it's challenging since lighting really changes how I see it. I stumbled across this blog post that breaks down some practical ways to test your undertone at home in simple steps, and it seemed pretty useful soft winter color palette . I am curious about how trustworthy these informal methods really are since everyone's skin can look different under various lighting or with different cameras. Has anyone here had luck with easy DIY undertone tests that don't rely on special tools? Maybe something that can be done just with things you have at home like jewelry, clothes, or natural light tricks? I'm hoping to get a more solid idea before I dive into picking colors for clothes or makeup, so any tips or personal experiences on what actually helped would be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance, and sorry if this is a bit basic—I'm just starting out and want to get it right without making costly mistakes.
