If you're viewing this post, you have yellow undertoned skin! This means your skintone is warm. You may be a spring-type or an autumn-type, or a combination of both!
Keep reading to see more details about what suits you most!

Yellow-Based Spring Type
Spring-types have a bubbly, youthful aura and often look younger than their actual age! Spring-types are generally brighter and more vivid than Autumn types.
Colors That Suit You
Spring-types look best in vivid, warm colors! Yellow suits their skin nicely. Ideally your color palette should resemble a gorgeous flower garden with blooming buds and soft leaves. You should choose colors with greater brightness, such as a feather grey instead of a charcoal grey. Off-white and milky white are great choices. Warm colors you should include are coral pink, bright candy apple red, honey yellow, and apricot! If you do wear cool colors, you should constrict them to bottoms. Cool color options are apple green, aquamarine, turquoise, and light navy. You should also choose lighter color neutrals like caramel brown and reddish grey!

Colors to Avoid Cool and dark colors typically don't suit the yellow-based Spring-type. Putting too cool of colors in your makeup will make you look sad and plain. You should wear gorgeous, bright colors near the face, and black or dark navy for contrast for your bottoms.
Yellow-based Autumn Type
Autumn types are characterized by mature, cool, and elegant ladies. They tend to look beautiful and collected, especially when wearing warm neutral colors.
Colors That Suit You
Deep colors like autumn leaves, ripe fruits, and nuts are best. Ideally you want to give a warm, open impression. Signature colors are moss green, olive green, and ash grey because they are reminiscent of leaves in the mountains! Autumn-types are chic and gorgeous without being drab when wearing dark colors. Yellowish and warm tones are recommended, as they make you look glowy. You may also want to try yellow-tinted and lighter shades of your favorite color, such as vanilla white, mustard yellow, turqouise, copper red, and salmon pink.

Colors to Avoid
Avoid too vivid of colors, as they may make your face look drab. Incorporate bright colors in accessories, and wear neutral clothing and makeup. Strong blue tones and pastels are advised against, since they will make your skin look dull and pale.
