Is pink undertones warm or cool?

Question

I am asian with relatively pale skin, but contrary to the idea that asians have yellow undertones, I seem to have pink/blue-ish undertones. The SA at MAC gave me NW20 for concealer (the tube one)...which is supposed to be for warm undertones. Yet I feel that my skin is more on the cool side. The concealer seems to work fine for undereye circles. Am I cool or warm? If I'm going to get a drugstore foundation, should I choose porclain, ivory etc?

Answers about MAC makeup selections would be especially helpful!

Answer 1

you have a cool complexion. and what she gave you was, a neutral warm, which is actually correct. your make-up is cool, trust me. I have a cool complexion, and I wear the studio fix in NW20.
MAC goes with the way colors look on the color wheel like they teach you in art class. and that means that they consider colors like pink, blue, rose, etc. warm colors. and they consider oranges and yellows to be cool colors. I know that sounds confusing, but if you ever took art in school, that's the way it was on the color chart.
I know other make-up counters show the colors to be just the opposite of what MAC does.
the best way to keep yourself from getting confused at the MAC counter is to remember, warm means cool, and cool means warm!
Best Wishes!

Answer 2

It depends on the shade of pink. The basic pink is cool.

Answer 3

Warm colors are based on yellows, oranges, browns, yellowish greens, orangish reds, and the like.

Cool colors are based on blues, greens, pinks, purples, blue-greens, magentas, and blue-based reds.

A warm toned foundation powder is more yellow based. A cool toned one is more pink
Cool: Eyes are typically blue or grey. Haircolor typically blonde, brown or black. Skin has definite blue and pinkish undertones. Cool-toned people look best in colors such as blue, red, pink and purple, or "gem-tones". Usually look best in silver jewelry. In natural light, the color of the veins on the underside of your wrist are bluish. You can wear a white shirt and it is flattering on you.

Neutral: Eyes may be any color. Hair may be any color. Skin has unspecifiable undertones, such as pink, olive or yellow. Those with neutral coloring can wear just about any color clothing and look good. Can wear gold or silver jewelry (no preference as to which looks better)

Warm: Eyes are typically brown, green or hazel. Haircolor typically brown, black, red, auburn, blonde or strawberry blonde. Skin has yellow/orange or olive undertones. Warm-toned people look best in earthy-toned clothing, such as browns, yellows, oranges, yellowish green and ecru. Look best in gold jewelry. In natural light, the color of the veins on the underside of your wrist are greenish. You are most flattered by an off-white, cream or ecru shirt (i.e. pure white makes you look washed out)
