🌟 First, Identify Your Skin Undertone

Before selecting the ideal color, it’s important to understand your skin undertone, which can be warm, cool, or neutral.

🔸 Warm undertones: Have a golden or yellowish base. Veins on your wrist tend to appear green, and golden tones complement your complexion best.

🔹 Cool undertones: Have a pink or bluish base. Veins appear bluish, and ashy or platinum shades are more flattering.

⚖ Neutral undertones: A mix of both warm and cool, meaning both tones can work well.

Not sure about your undertone? Try this test:
✨ Gold jewelry looks better on you → Warm undertone
✨ Silver jewelry looks better on you → Cool undertone
✨ Both look great → Neutral undertone
