Try MeFrequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about undertones, color matching, and how the photo analysis tool works.- How does the tool recommend makeup products?
The tool analyzes your undertone, skin depth (lightness), and contrast level to suggest foundation, blush, eyeshadow, and lip colors that will look most flattering. It also considers lighting quality in the photo so the advice isn’t skewed by poor conditions.
- Do I need professional studio lighting for accurate results?
No. Natural daylight is best, but the tool adjusts for exposure, warmth, and shadows. If your lighting is too warm, cool, or uneven, it will warn you and adjust the recommendations accordingly.
- Can it tell me my exact foundation shade?
Not exactly. It gives you a range (like “medium-warm” or “light neutral”) and advice on whether to go slightly lighter or deeper with concealer. It’s meant as a guide, not a substitute for testing brands in person.
- Does it also suggest lipstick and eyeshadow colors?
Yes. It suggests flattering nude and bold lip shades, eyeshadow families (like copper, taupe, plum), and even eyeliner/mascara tones. The recommendations are matched to your undertone and contrast profile.
- How does undertone affect makeup recommendations?
Cool undertones look best in rosy, berry, jewel tones. Warm undertones glow with peach, coral, golden, and earthy shades. Neutral undertones can wear both, but extremes (icy or neon) are avoided. Olive undertones suit earthy greens, bronzes, and muted warm shades.
- Why does it mention metals like gold or silver?
Jewelry tones (gold, silver, rose gold) often influence makeup finishes like highlighter or eyeshadow shimmer. The tool tells you which metallic tones harmonize with your undertone so your look feels cohesive.
- Can it give skincare or product brand advice?
No, it doesn’t evaluate specific brands or skincare. It focuses on color direction — what tones to aim for or avoid. You can then explore products in that color family.
- How reliable are the results?
The tool is a guide, not a replacement for personal testing. Factors like lighting, camera quality, and skin conditions (e.g., redness, tanning) can shift results. It’s best used as a starting point when exploring makeup looks.
