That classification is all fine and well - it's not inaccurate, but it's definitely not complete, because this literature makes the implicit assumption that the audience is Caucasian, because Asians in general don't have Caucasian-pink skintones, even if we are cool-toned.
#TAKE PINK TONES OUT OF FOUNDATION REDDIT SKIN#
The reason why people often assume so stems from a conception of cool-toned skin as being 'pink', as in Caucasian-skin-pink, and this conception in turn is due to traditional literature on colour theory classifying people as either pink, or yellow. As a result, people tend to assume that you're warm just because your skin is yellow. Chinese people, like me, are the most obvious examples, although I've noticed some Indians have surface yellowness too. A large proportion of Asians have surface yellowness in their skin.In fact, for some Asian girls, these techniques tend to bring about more confusion than anything else.

Most literature out there right now on discerning undertones still assumes a Caucasian reader (e.g.But why write a post specifically dedicated to Asian undertones, as opposed to undertones for everyone in general? There are two reasons for this: So I decided to write a post on Asian skintones, or more specifically Asian undertones, because I think that as an Asian, sometimes it's harder to tell if you're warm, cool, neutral or olive than if you were Caucasian.
