Cool Undertones

Your skin has a beautiful natural coolness — here's everything you need to make it shine.

What is a cool undertone?

Cool undertones have a natural blue, pink, or red base beneath the surface of your skin. This is distinct from your actual skin shade — you can have fair, medium, or deep skin and still have cool undertones.

When you wear the right shades, your complexion looks bright, clear, and refreshed. The wrong shades can make you look washed out or overly yellow — so finding your match makes a real difference.

How to identify cool undertones

  • Veins on your inner wrist appear blue or purple
  • Silver jewellery flatters you more than gold
  • You burn more easily in the sun than tan
  • Bright whites look better on you than ivory or cream
  • Pinks, berries, and plums suit you naturally
  • Your skin can look rosy or have a slight reddish flush

Pearl Beauty tip for cool tones

When choosing foundation, avoid anything with a yellow or orange base — look for shades described as "pink", "rose", or "cool". For blush and lips, berry, mauve, and dusty rose shades will always enhance your natural colouring. Steer clear of bronze and gold highlighters — silver and champagne will suit you much better.
