hey ladies,can someone please help me identify my complexion? i am really confused. here's a photo for reference. im not wearing foundation on this picture
I've seen the terms "tan" and "medium" apply to the same skin type. I'd go for medium, but it's a toss up for some products. As for undertones, I tried the vein thing, but it's easier to think of what colors look good on you. If you look better in blue, green, and purple you are cool undertoned. If you look better in red, orange, and earthy colors you are warm undertoned. If you look equal in those you are neutral. I wish I was better looking at the colors of veins for that undertone, but it's easier for me this way :)

As for my UNDERTONES,I've read that you should check your veins if they are green or purple or both. Here's a photo too.
