Am I warm or cool, please help!

[atoosagurl]

I have always thought I was warm, but recently I went to a MAC counter and they say I'm cool or NW20. I really have no idea. I have since been to a few counters and they all say NW. What do you think? I always feel 'off' when I wear cool colour things. Maybe I'm neutral? Please help!

Here is a pic:

My first instinct would be to say you're cool...(nw in mac)

I would say ur cool also. I can see some slight pink undertones in ur face

I would stick to cool toned NW foundation, but u don't have to wear a full face of cool toned makeup if u don't like how it looks. A warm gold shadow and a warm peach blush would still look nice on ur skintone IMO.

My first instinct is that you are an NW because of the pink undertones in your skin. I find that cool toned people like to wear warmer colors because it contrasts better, personally I do that.

I always got confused until this post, I thought cool is yellow undertone NC and warm is pink undertone NW

Thank you ladies!

By the way you are gorgeous!

It's possible for people to be both. I'm an NW in studio sculpt foundation but an NC in others.

I would say you are an NW though, but really its hard to tell anything if its not in person.

I would say NW as well, but like ppl said it depends on the foundation.

i heard a make up artist say that when u can tan without turning red and gettin burned ur warm.And ur cool when u go in the sun for few mins and u burn.

I heard the makeup artist also say that most ppl r warm tones but they dont know it and get confused.Cool tones would be ppl with red hair and porclean skin .

Search gossmakeupartist on youtube.He mite have a vid that might help cuz i get confused too.

All these years i was told im a nc but i found nw looks wayyy natural on me.

Thank you!! I thought I was the only one that thought that! lol!! I though the exact same thing. I have NW pressed powder but I swear it makes me look too yellow??

or at least I thought it did. I was thinking about getting an NW powder when i get xmas money to try it and see if it looks any better. The whole thing just confuses me!

NW. Although you don't look very cool I still think it leans more towards cool.

You look more NW than NC. I would say like an NW 20.
