A lesson in undertones ~Promise

   Hello everybody! 'Tis I, Promise! I'm here to bring you a G.L.A.M (Godly Ladies Always Modest) beauty segment. Have you ever taken the time to figure out your unique coloring? Let's take a moment, if you please, and talk about this.
  Most people fall under two categories of either warm or cool undertones. People with cool undertones usually have red, blueish, or pinkish looking skin. People with warm undertones  have yellow or greenish  tints in their skin. Looking for an easy way to tell if you're warm or cool? Take a blue shirt (like baby blue or royal blue) then take a orange-y shirt (like the color of a pumpkin or a rusty shade) and hold them up to your face, one at a time in a room with natural sunlight and a good mirror. As you hold up each shirt, take notice of which one makes your skin look healthy and bright. The wrong shade will make your skin look sallow and ashy, and enhance under eye bags and skin imperfections. If you look better with blue, then chances are you have cool undertones, if it's the orange, then you're probably warm. Still unsure? Get out side and look at the veins in your wrist. If they appear green, that means your skin has more yellow pigmentation. If they look more blue, then you have bluer or pinkish undertones to your skin. A quick rule of thumb, the fairer you are, the more likely you are to have cool undertones.
   Knowing what undertones you have can help you choose flattering make up and clothes. Some warm colors include yellow (look for this shade with a greenish tint), orange, orange-y reds and reddish or orange-y browns. Some cool colors include blue, purple, green (without a yellow tint), bubble gum pink and blue based reds. I love talking about color! How droll would our lives be without color? God could have easily made our lives black and white, but he gave us colors to lift our spirits and spark creativity! Imagine staring into the ocean without seeing the rolling waves of blue. Think of trying to enjoy a breath taking sunset without the beautiful hues of orange, pink and red! Thank God for such a blessing as color! I hope you enjoyed this post! God bless! ~Promise
