today I'm going to demonstrate the difference between a warm and cool skin
tone plus I'm going to teach you a naughty little trick that you'll be able
to keep up your sleeve for one day when you might need it so if you'd like to
know more please keep watching hi I'm Schellea this is fabulous fifties a
lifestyle channel that explores fashion beauty and lifestyle for women over 50
and if you're a woman over 50 click subscribe and click the bell and you'll
be alerted every time there's a new video and each video will relate to
women over 50 ok let's get into it working out if you've got warm or cool
skin tone is very important because if you've got a warm undertone to your skin
and you wear warm colored clothes your face looks luminous if you've got a
cool undertone to your skin and wear cool color clothing again your face will
look luminous ok I have done a video on how to work out your colors I'll leave a
link for you to check that video out but just quickly step one is to work out if
your veins are green or blue and green veins will indicate you have a warm skin
undertone and blue veins blue to purple will mean you've got a cool undertone
and if your greeny blue that means you're neutral and I'm today talking
about warm and cool but if you fall into the neutral category that means that you
can wear a variety of all of the colors and they'll make you look good just keep
in mind for you if your neutral to keep the contrast right and you'll be perfect
the second thing that you can do is test on your skin a gold and a silver color
use some fabric gold or silver awesome jewelry that you may have at home and
compare it under your chin so you hold the fabric up underneath
your face and you can pair a gold color to a silver color and you see which
makes your face look better for me I have yellow undertone so the yellow
undertone in the fabric is making my face look luminous and if you've got
pinky blue undertones the silver will look amazing I'm I can be a little bit
neutral so I could wear both but this looks much better on me so do this test
and see what you come up with another way to do this is to use something white
a bright a true white so I use this when I'm with clients but you get a white bit
of fabric or paper and you put it up towards your neck and you look at the
difference between the skin color and the white so if you've got warm skin
undertones it'll your skin will look slightly
yellow which is what mine does and if you've got very cool skin your skin will
look pink or the blue will come out and you'll be able to easily tell when you
try this so there you go some quick tips to work out how to do your skin
undertone I'll just show you a couple of examples on me to help you get a good
feeling for this my skin my hair my eyes and my eyebrows all kind of blend in a
little bit that I'm very medium contrast someone who has very dark hair and light
skin is high contrast and somebody who is say blonde with blonde eyebrows very
light eyes and feschi and they be low contrast so for me I'm medium contrast
and that's why I want to teach you this really naughty trick because if you can
work out how to do the right thing you'll also know how to do the wrong
thing and if you're feeling like you don't want to go to work one day and
you're not sick and you just want to go and have some fun I'm sorry to all the
bosses out there I'm a boss too but if you're the boss
you'll be able to tell if someone's doing this but what you do the day
before you want to have the day off you wear some clothes to work that are the
wrong color for you so if you have a woman to turn like me I would wear a
cool color and I would wear the wrong contrast so I'm a medium contrast and
I'd wear a high contrast color for something like one of these colors
they're cool and they're very high contrast and if you can see these colors
on me they don't make me look good so this is just a demonstration how what
the difference is between a contrast this is very high contrast is lots of
pigment in these colors and against my warm undertone skin they don't make me
look good these colors I look healthy and I my skin looks radiant the reason
is because these colors match the undertone in my skin I'll give you an
example this makes me look sick if you wear a little less makeup as well ten
times better and on these if I had an ash color to my hair you can if if I was
having this check it out the difference between the warm color that's in my hair
to an ash color against my skin these are little tricks they use in the movies
to make us look old and if you had like very cool skin and put like a yellow
into the blonde in your hair it would make you look the same as this makes me
look so ash looks terrible on me and worn gold highlights don't look great on
cool skin so this is the trick if you want it if you want someone to think
that you're not feeling well you wear the wrong color just say that you've got
a pink undertone so you've got cool colored
skin and you have dark hair okay so you've got a high contrast these colors
would look great on you so you've got cool skin dark hair high contrast if you
wanted to go to work and appear to be sick you would wear these colors so
they'll past early colors warm and earthy or you'd wear this kind of color
or a or a dusty caramel color it will draw the color right out of your face so
colors with a lot of yellow in it will do the trick for you and you'll be able
to go to work and the boss will actually tell you to go home because you look
sick if you have very pale skin and bare eyebrows light eyes and blond hair and
you're very cool so you wear a deep heavy earthy color like a terra cotta or
something like that something very high contrast and very warm you will also be
sent home from work and maybe get a week off I hope this little demonstration
really helped you to work out the difference between warm and cool and I
hope that you've got something up your sleeve to use next time you feel like
just having a beautiful day to yourself and not needing to make an excuse to
anybody give it a try let me know how you can go and just quickly if you'll
notice in the movies this is what they do they will outfit one of the
characters in the wrong color for their undertone of skin and and that's how
they make their characters look older or very plain or it make them look sick
so next time you're watching a movie see if you can pick it okay please give a
thumbs up if you enjoyed this video and share it if you have a friend who would
love to know this special little trick that they can use on their boss next
time they feel like taking a day off and thank you so much
for watching I really appreciate it and have a beautiful day
