How do you find your skins undertone and match foundation? I know there is cool tones, neutral tones, and warm tones but my problem is matching it to my skin.

I honestly can't tell you how to find your undertone. but I'm sure a Sephora or store like that would easily be able to help you.
as for matching foundation, test the colour not on the back of your hand, but on your chest. just a small amount. if the colour blends into your chest & there's no colour difference then it's perfect! you can also test by seeing how you look in natural light; it doesn't lie ;D hahaha.

Don't take this to heart I'm just guessing by your picture but you look fair and cool. Most likely the fairest foundations in the collection (to the farthest left of the displays) will work. Just guessing though so its best to get checked by a pro. I'm fair and warm so its really hard for me to find foundations because usually the lightest color is in a collection is cool/pink and the next shade up might be warm toned but then it is too dark for me. If I ever find a foundation that matches my skin perfectly ill be throwing a huge party to celebrate my findings. But if your fair and COOL like it seems to me, lucky you :)

You can find your undertone just by looking at your eyes and veins :)

Thanks for all the responses! I did a vein test and I'm cool toned :) I usually just go with a bb cream or the 3 shade in from the lightest foundation but I'm actually going to take my time and match it to my skin.

A quick way to check is what looks better on you- silver or gold. Gold is warm and silver is cool :)
