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 accountSasha Plavsic founded ILIA after her mother—a pioneer of health and wellness—encouraged her to read the ingredients on the label of her favorite lip balm. She was shocked to discover that many of the ingredients weren’t safe. Sasha set out to recreate her favorite lip balm with clean, skin-centric ingredients, and the idea for ILIA was born.

"So disappointing and didn’t work on my dry skin. Ended up being super patchy"
— Lulu (3/5)
"I like this. It’s kind of hard to see that you have it on though it’s very faint color, but it’s perfect for not overdone makeup"
— Mandy K. (4/5)
"I had been using rituel de fille, and I do still love that, but this performs even better. It is so beautiful! It lays on the skin so nicely and stays. I feel like i glow with this. New favorite!"
— Amber L. (5/5)
"I needed a ton of product to get any sort of result. Plus, the results are nowhere near what the photos look like. I can barely see it even after applying loads of product. It mostly just looks like I caked something on my skin and doesn't give a very good highlighting effect. It also irritates my eyes even though it's not going in my eyes. . . I guess because it's so close to the eye area. The packaging was also bulky and annoying."
— Lauren (1/5)
"Ok for a highlighter. I don’t like the cheap packaging."
— Isa (4/5)
"I like this because it’s very natural. I’ve tried applying with a brush and also finger (think finger works best). This is very creamy and works well without looking too bright. If you’re looking for subtle, this is your product. Doesn’t smudge or wear off either!"
— Sarah H. (4/5)
"I love the feel of the product and the way it goes one. Its on the subtle side, and thought it would pop a little more when I initially bought it. Only reason I gave it a 4 and not a 5."
— Meredith K. (5/5)
"I don’t wear a lot of makeup but this highlighter has become a new daily go to, regardless of whether I have foundation underneath it or not. I love how smoothly it goes on and the subtle glow it adds. Will probably try another color next time."
— Carly W. (5/5)
"Unfortunately, I really didn't like this one. I found that it gave little to no payoff on my skin. I tried using a brush, a sponge and my fingers. I much prefer a powder to this cream. 3 stars for the clean ingredients and nice packaging."
— Sarah (3/5)
"best clean gold highlighter on the market. obsessed"
— Sam (5/5)
