So are you cool or warm? Cool complexions usually have "blue, violet or gray eyes," says Los Angeles makeup artist Lucy Crawford. Warm complexions usually have brown, green or hazel eyes and tan rather than burn in the sun. But rules were made to be broken, so here's a second test: Hold a white sheet of paper to your jawline. If you see pink or blue in your skin, you're cool; yellow or orange means you're warm. Now remember your undertone and find your makeup colors:

I agree with the reviewer who said she wished the article had been arranged by skin color rather than product type. Also, a Prescriptives sales associate typed my skin color years ago as being "on the cusp of red/blue and yellow/orange", so just "cool" or "warm" recommendations don't work for me.

Great tips! I wished it was arranged by skin color and not by product type. So I can go to my skin color and not have to look through products that don't work for me.

I do not limit myself to one or two eye colors. I play with lots of colors, and I am always complimented on how it makes my eyes pop or how pretty it is. So don't be afraid to experiment a little if you like. You might be surprised to find out that colors you never expected look great on you!

I prefer to wear all colours, I feel like I can pull them all off with my skin tone and eye colour, I haven't found one I didn't like.
