Warm and golden undertone

A warm undertone is the broad family, and a golden undertone is a warm undertone with a visible shimmer of yellow. Both do best with colors that echo the warmth in your skin instead of fighting it.

Colors that suit yellow undertones

  • Clothing: camel, olive, rust, coral, mustard, warm teal and cream.
  • Metals: yellow gold and copper.
  • Makeup: peach and coral blushes, warm nude and brick lipsticks, bronze eyeshadows.

Colors to be careful with

Icy pastels, stark optical white and blue-based pinks can make yellow undertones look washed out or sallow. Wear them away from the face or choose softer, warmer versions.
