An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:
Pink/Cool
I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.
Neutral
I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.
Yellow/Warm
I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.

create accountLaura and Connie started Three Ships in 2017 from a humble apartment kitchen and only $4,000. We were frustrated with the state of the beauty industry - overpriced products, green-washing, misleading claims and millions of tons of plastic waste created every year. We knew there had to be a better way, so we set out to create the world’s most transparent, effective, and sustainable natural skincare. We believe you don’t need a fortune or a 12-step skincare routine to have happy, healthy skin. So all of our award-winning products are under $40 USD, certified cruelty-free and vegan, made with 100% natural ingredients, and formulated by world-class chemists that solve real customer skin problems. Our products prove that great discoveries can be made with limited resources, and that a convoy of complicated products isn’t necessary when you use naturally-effective ones.

"I think it's good. I think my eye bags look better. I have no complaints."

"I have been using this eye cream for about a week now and can already see a difference in the hydration of my undeyes! The product feels nice on the skin and absorbes beautifully. Knocking one star off because of the packaging. I'm not sure if a just got a dud or something, but the cap is VERY hard to get off - like requires more than a normal amount of force, which is unfortante since it mean to get a better grip I end up needing to squeeze slightly on the tube, which dispenses way too much product, ultimatly leading to product loss."
— Erin (4/5)
"I’ve been struggling with dark circles as a result of fatigue and a busy schedule. After a few weeks of use I can notice the darkness improving. Now that I’m used to the dispenser I like it a lot and actually Look forward to putting it on! It feels cool and relaxing on my skin."
— Meagan H. (5/5)
"First light sinks in quickly and does not irritate my eyes. My dark circles are diminished ! Love this eye treatment."
— Sabina A. (5/5)
"I bought this First Light under eye cream a few times. It was hydrating, but I never saw any improvement in dark circles. I would've probably continued to purchase until I found something better - just for the hydration - but honestly, I couldn't deal with the packaging anymore. These tubes are soft and flexible, so when they get even halfway empty, it's really hard to get product to come out. They aren't like a toothpaste tube, where you can push the product all to the top. I got tired of squeezing, twisting, and bending it over on itself and still struggling to get the product out the top, even though I knew there was a lot left in the tube. It's just not worth my time anymore."
— Jae (3/5)

— Jaclyn T. (5/5)

— Meg (4/5)
"I bought this product to help lighten my under eyes and after only a few weeks I see a noticeable difference! The applicator is cooling as well which provides a very enjoyable experience when using!"
— Thea J. (5/5)
"I like the way this feels on my skin and I can't wait to see what under my eyes look like after a month of use. Already, I feel like it's absorbing well helping with some puffiness"
