Here’s all You Need to Know about Under-tones

First, let us define what an under-tone is. It is extremely important to correctly judge your under-tone so that you can match the make-up with your natural color, so it doesn’t look unnatural or out of place. While skin tone can change due to Factors like sun exposure, an under-tone never changes. The color below the surface of your skin, which forms your overall complexion, is called under-tone.
