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.

"Gorgeous palette. Gave it to my daughter and she loved it."

"I'm surprised at how much I like this. I do wish the lightest color were a bit less yellow-toned, but it's a really nice palette for my skin in the fall/winter. The only one I haven't used yet is the bottom left color, but I'll find a way to incorporate it eventually."
— Beth W. (4/5)

"Love the color but wish the compact had a mirror"
— April (5/5)
"Great neutral pallet. I love the shimmer golden brown. The only shade I haven't figured out how to make look good is the red-ish color on the lower left of the pallet. I may still figure it out. But overall, the product is excellent quality and long lasting, well-pigmented. Does not crease."
— Jennifer (5/5)

— Emma P. (5/5)
