I really cannot tell for the life of me...
My skin tone is olive/tan depending on the season. People say to use the vein trick, blue veins=cool and green veins=warm but mine are a mixture of blue and green, lol. I have a feeling I'm cool toned but I don't know...Can anyone help me out here on how to tell?

I personally look in the mirror at my chest area and there you can tell if its more pink or more yellow or if your peachy you're neutral

Hi Christine,
Most people fall into the neutral range and sometimes it's hard to tell because your surface tone can be different than your undertone. That being said, looking at your pictures, I would say you're actually in the neutral/warm range but you may have a slight cool surface tone. When it comes to makeup you always want to match it so it neutralizes both so staying within a neutral/warm range for makeup will suit you best. I hope that helps!

Lol well when I was first starting out with makeup I just about a foundation in pink and a yellow undertone and I tried them both out to see which one fit me best.

Look at your hand/arm veins.
If they look green you're warm toned.
If they look blue/purple you're cool toned. :)
