Are Yellow and Golden Undertones the Same?

There are three traditional undertones: warm, cool, and neutral. Warm undertones range from peach to yellow and golden.

Do I have yellow or golden undertones?

Warm: If the base tone of your skin is yellow or gold, you have warm undertones. Cool: If you see hints of blue, pink or red, then you have cool undertones. Neutral: If there's a mixture of both warm and cool hues, or your undertone is the same color as your actual skin color, then you fall into the neutral category.

What is a golden undertone?

Usually golden means yellow but how the company defines "golden" is up to them, really. Sometimes golden can refer to yellow toned skin with a little bit of pink AKA warm yellow making a sort of peach (for lighter skin) or honey (for darker skins which can look orange due to the added pink/red)
