What are the things you look for to decide what each clients undertone is? I have a hard time seeing the green, blue, pink & orange/yellow. HELP?!? Any idiot proof tricks?

I do too! I was told it takes years to master it but look at the wrist (palm side up) if their veins look green their a warm. If their blue, their a cold. This isn't the most accurate but it's a little trick I learned

Thanks amy!! Heard those tips- I guess I'm just wondering more of what olive skin tones are.

Really yellow based skin that can sometimes have a greenish tinge to it is olive.

I've noticed that the veins trick works.

The veins on the wrist trick works, if you have a cool undertone your veins look blue but if you have a warm undertone your veins look green because the yellow in your skin counteracts the blue making them appear green.
