BEAUTY · UNDERTONE

Compare the color evidence, not just a label.

Enter a representative complexion color or sample several areas from a photo. HexCheck corrects common lighting casts, measures sample consistency, compares four undertone directions, and explains how to verify the result with clothing, jewelry, and foundation families.

Complexion sample

Use unfiltered photos without makeup on the sampled area. Sample the jaw, neck, or several nearby areas under even light. Images remain in this browser.

SIDE-BY-SIDE VERIFICATION

FOUNDATION DIRECTION

Medium warm family

This narrows descriptor families only. Product shade names are not standardized, so compare the actual product at the jaw and neck under daylight before purchasing.

Treat this as a controlled comparison set, not a rule about what you may wear. Personal preference, fabric, contrast, makeup, hair color, and the full outfit can make colors outside the suggested direction work beautifully.
