Determine your undertone by observing the veins on your wrist: if they appear blue or purple, you have cool undertones; if they look green, you have warm undertones. For a neutral undertone, veins will be a mix of both colors. Additionally, consider how your skin reacts to the sun – those who burn easily typically have cool undertones, while those who tan easily have warm undertones.
