I have been trying to figure out if I have a warm or cool skin tone for years. I simply have no idea. Everything I read that tells you which you are seems to contradict itself or I don't fall into either category. So, if ANYONE knows how to tell if a person has warm or cool skin tone, here are my stats:

I have brown eyes and dark brown hair.

I tan easily, rarely burn (unless I am outside for a long time with no sun protection at all)

My skin is the lightest of the medium shades and I THINK I have a yellowy or olive undertone. This is where I get screwed up. How the heck do I know what my undertone is? I know my mom had olive skin and I THINK I tend toward it. Yellow based foundations work better for me than pink based ones. I think. Heh.

I have no idea what color the veins on my wrist are (They say green is one type and blue is another. I think they look blue, I dunno.)

I feel I look better wearing silver jewelery but I do wear both. I favor silver or white gold but I honestly don't know if I look better with it on.

Most colors work OK for me. I think black, brown, dark purple, light blue and aqua, and ummm....maybe red look good on me. My sister says red makes me look old (??) but I still think it looks OK on me. I can't think of a color I would NOT wear because it makes me look bad. That is, I wear whatever color I happen to like and I don't notice which look best with my skin. I am not a fan of pink though but I think that's a preference, not because it washes me out or anything. I also think light grey looks cruddy on me. Or maybe I just don't like grey.

I wear rosy blushes but also can wear peachy ones. My real blush - like when I am embarassed - is a red shade (isn't everyone's blush a red shade though?).

I think I look best in brownish lip colors and also in mauves. I never ever wear pink lipstick. Red lipstick makes me look old (again, according to my sister)

So....am I cool or warm? I need to know before I die just to have that knowledge. :)
