In this video I’ll be discussing skin undertones – how skin can appear cool pink, warm yellow or blue black and I’ll show which shades to mix to create these common colors.

I will show you a highlight colour, a mid-tone colour and a shadow colour for four different skin types: cool red fair (red heads), yellow based fair (olive skin), medium warm and also very dark.

The colours we’ll be using are: Pyrrole Red, Cadmium Red Light, Yellow Ochre, Burnt Umber, Raw Umber and Prussian Blue.
