I'm really confused on how to tell whether I'm cool, warm, or neutral. I look better in gold but then again I look good in silver. My eyes are hazel & my hair is brown & have a gold color to it at the top. My veins look blue & green but then again I'm not sure, they look more green in some spots than others & then they look more blue in other places . I'm so confused. Would I be fair or fair-medium? Sorry I'm asking so many new questions I'm new. Ughhh help :) I appreciate it

Don't apologize! We're here to help each other out. Do you tan or sunburn in the sun? If you tan, you are more likely warm-toned. If you burn, you are more likely Cool-toned. I am unsure of how to tell if you are neutral though!

Thats a good question
I have always been told I'm cool but I can pull off wearing warm colors

If your veins look more green, you are warm toned, and if they looked more blue, you're cool. I found out that I'm neutral actually by using the Loreal True Match foundation. I always thought I was warm, but when I bought the warm toned foundation it wasn't an exact match, so I went back and got the neutral and bingo. ;)

@Tonita I tan if I have on sunscreen but if I don't I burn sometimes. It just depends. If I don't have on sunscreen I sometimes tan & get burned. @Kaysey I've heard the Loreal True Match foundation was really good. I may go try out the neutral & warm
