Neutral Undertones
You have the most versatile undertone of all — almost every shade will work for you with the right guidance.
What is a neutral undertone?
Neutral undertones sit between cool and warm — you don't have a strong blue-pink cast or a golden-yellow one. Your skin has a mix of both, which gives you incredible flexibility when it comes to makeup.
Most shades will work for you, but there are still certain tones that will make your skin look its most radiant. Understanding your neutrality helps you choose with confidence rather than guesswork.
Your biggest advantage
Because you sit in the middle, you can wear both warm and cool shades — which means more of the Pearl Beauty range will suit you than any other undertone. You can shift your look from warm and golden to cool and frosty depending on your mood.
How to identify neutral undertones
- Veins appear blue-green — not clearly one or the other
- Both gold and silver jewellery suits you equally well
- You can tan but also sometimes burn
- Both bright white and ivory look good on you
- Your skin doesn't look too pink or too yellow
- You find it hard to identify as clearly warm or cool

Pearl Beauty tip for neutral tones
Your golden rule: avoid the extremes. Very icy or ashy shades can look harsh, and very orange or heavily bronzed shades can overpower you. Your sweet spot is anything balanced — champagne over silver, soft nude over stark nude, dusty mauve over bright fuchsia. But don't be afraid to experiment — your neutral undertone means you have more freedom than almost anyone else.
