How do I find my skin’s actual undertone… I think I am warm since the girl at the counter matched an NW foundation for me but I am still unsure… 
Re: Undertone
Look at your wrist (in natural light)
Green veins = warm undertones
Blue veins = cool undertones
MAC NW is for cool/pink undertones and NC is for warm/yellow..

I knew this trick but was always confused cuz I seem to have both green and blue ones, but I just read somewhere whichever one's are more and then I noticed I had more green ones. Finally. Thank you so much :)
Re: Undertone
^ i guess its neutral undertone if you have both blue & green

Re: Undertone
Mine look purplish blue with a touch of pink in it :/ whats my undertone...i don't get it...
Re: Undertone
At the risk of sounding stupid, what does undertone have to do with foundation? confused
Re: Undertone
maybe this could help in determining your undertone color,
the undertones need to be balanced or neutralized otherwise you may appear too ashy or too pinky after wearing a foundation.
Re: Undertone
Desi's are nearly always NC or C when it comes to MAC. I would not let them match you though, they mostly get it wrong.
Re: Undertone
I don't know about the vein trick, but desi's are usually NC...and even if you're not, a yellowish foundation will look fine especially after you've applied your blush.
Re: Undertone
Oh ok, thanks
