Material Test : Hold two pieces of cloth, one silver and one gold, against your face. Check in the mirror which one looks better. You will find that one of the colors brightens up your face. If silver does, you belong to cool skin tone and if gold does, you belong to warm skin tone. If both the shades look good on you then, you have a neutral skin tone.
Vein Test : If the veins on your wrist are green in color, you have a warm skin tone. If the veins on your wrist are blue in color, then you have a cool skin tone.
Ear Test : You need somebody to help you with this test. If the patch behind your ear is yellow, you have a warm skin tone. If the patch is pink in color, you have a cool skin tone.
