Okay, you can tell these things just by looking at yourself & running your fingers through your hair & be the judge of it. You can also go into your nearest makeup store & they can tell you whether you have warm or cool undertones.
Youtube is also a great way to learn makeup basics (my channel is Nidmajid). To help with oil try a mattifier. It absorbs the oil on your face and gives you a non-shine look. The best one I know of is Murad although you could also try the Urban Decay pressed powder one as well. For your hair, don't wash it everyday. Use a dry shampoo so that it can stay clean without you having to wash it :)

Does your skin get oily ? Is it dry all of the time or is it both ? These are all things you can tell just by looking at yourself in a mirror.
