First, tally up your answers for questions 1 through 6!

If you got mostly A, If you got mostly B, you're yellow-based! you're blue-based! Your skintone is warm! Your skintone is cool!

Next, tally up your answers for questions 7 through 10.

If you got mostly A, you're a yellow-based spring type!

If you got mostly B, you're a blue-based summer type!

If you got mostly C, you're a yellow-based autumn type!

If you got mostly D, you're a blue based winter type!

So what does this mean? Your base color means your skin's undertone. Certain colors compliment either warm or cool skintones differently. What suits your skin may not suit someone else at all!
