Q.24 Reema is a makeup artist. She has to do a CBSE Study Unit 1, 7 4
party makeup on a client and has to identify Material Section 1
the skin tone of the client to apply the right
colour make-up and lipstick. In which ways
can she determine the undertone of her
skin? Explain.

Answer: She can use either of the following
methods to identify the undertone of her
client.
1. Vein Test: Observe for the vein colours
under the wrist. If the vein appears blue in
colour, then the undertone is categorized
under warm undertone. Warm colours
should be used for makeup. If the vein
appears green, then it is to be interpreted as
a cool undertone. A makeup artist should use
cool colours for the makeup.
2. The Old Jewelry Trick: The undertone can
also be determined whether the client looks
good in gold or silver. If the client looks good
in gold ornaments, then the undertone is
warm. If silver ornaments are suitable for the
client, the undertone is cool. The colour
wheel helps in identifying the suitable colour
for the foundation, conceal, blush, eyeliner
and lipstick. The basic rule is to stick to cool
colours for cool undertone and warm colours
for warm undertone.
