just so i get this right cause i was confused with mac for a long time.. : Mac would actually describe Jennifer Lopez Skintone as a cold tone since its more yellow than pink? isn't that kind of stupid ._. .. to me yellow tones always were the warm ones and pink ones the cold ones..

@x3SkylineSouvenir It is a bit confusing until you look at an artists colour wheel. Red/pink is warm and Yellow is Neutral, so it does make sense in that respect. But of course it helps to look at a colour wheel! x

i'm a neautral who leans towards yellow.. tho i dont tan. I burn. i've tried pink tones and my face looks sooooooo pink. like i have viva glam gaga on my face. T____T I cant find a yellow toned that doesnt make me look like bigbird tho

@kasai0494 Neutrals will probably work on you!

I am new to makeup.I did not know how to choose a foundation. I checked out your blog on this topic. It was sooo helpful. Thank you so much.

Thank you. This made more sense to me than anything I have seen or heard about determining skin tone.

It would be better to describe people by the tone of their skin rather than by "black skin" because it's so varied within the so-called race. I mean to say, you go by the undertone as well as top color...and it's usually some shade of brown anyway..not "black." So, obviously, there are "black" people who are light in shade as well as all the way to jet black. It's not all the same.

@x3SkylineSouvenir its because yellow is sonsidered a  "cooler" color than pink

Thats what helped me understand. hope that helps
