What is an undertone?

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.

"It’s a good creamy bronzer."

ZTS (4/5)

THE BROWNS I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR

"I have a light-medium brown skin tone and I bought the shades medium, dark, and deep to use as lipsticks. I LOVE each and every single shade. The texture is smooth and creamy and the pigment is strong- no patchiness! The finish is semi-matte on lips and a light dusting of cornstarch gets it beautifully and perfectly matte. Thanks for creating non toxic, zero waste makeup!"

Anike (5/5)

So glad I found this.

"So glad I found this. Goes on smooth and the color is perfect. I love their other crayons and like that I have a contour stick from them now. Lasts forever. Love the earth friendly wrapping."

Maris F. (5/5)

Axiology, please don't ever change or sell out the brand!

"My skin is really light, with pinkish undertones. I purchased the lightest shade in this product. I am neurodivergent, diagnosed on the autistic spectrum, and I'm sensitive to synthetic chemicals and other synthetic ingredients. It took me about a year to wrap my head around the changes to paper at Axiology, but I recently switched everything to this brand, and I'm thrilled!! I'm especially thrilled with this Shape Stick. It's the perfect product to blend away redness and warm up my skin. I love the intentions behind this brand. I definitely recommend this product!"

Chloe (5/5)

Lurve it.

"This is my first time doing any kind of contour and I love this stick. I got the medium even though I'm on the paler end of the spectrum and it looks great. I use it around the edge of my forehead, right under the high points of my cheeks, and at my jaw line. After I blend, the color is natural but I look more glowy and vivacious."

Georgia (5/5)

Fantastic Contouring Solution

"Absolutely enamored with this shape stick! The perfect partner for adding contour and definition to your face. The hue is ideally suited. Exceptional product!"

Jan (5/5)
