COOL-TONED BASES (In order from light to dark)
In color-coding, people who have cool undertones are referred to as Winter or Summer because of the underlying blue tone to skin, hair, eyes, teeth, etc. Winters and Summers usually tan easily, although Summers will have more sun-damage because they tend to have fairer complexions.
Use the guide below, as a guide only. Many times, Winters have olive or strong yellow tones to their skins - Asians, for example. They are much better wearing a yellow base so that makeup doesn't look like a mask. However, they should still use cool blush, eye shadows and lipsticks to enhance their features.

WARM-TONED BASES (In order from light to dark)
In color-coding, people who have warm undertones are referred to as Spring or Autumn because of the underlying yellow tone to skin,
hair, eyes, teeth, etc. Springs and Autumns do not tan easily. They may tan eventually but usually burn first. Sun protection is important for all skin types, but it is essential for Springs and Autumns. Also included in this
section are our darker bases, all of which have yellow/gold undertones. If being worn by a woman of color, they should be combined with cool blushes, eye and lip
colors.
