How do you check an undertone with a phone camera? - Ameliajago - 28-09-2026
I am new to checking undertones without an appointment but my results change more than I expected. Beside a bright window my face reads almost neutral while warm indoor bulbs make it look noticeably golden. My phone also applies automatic white balance even when I keep the same position and background. I kept my face bare and wore a medium-gray shirt so clothing should not be adding much reflected color. I am comparing the photos with a simple skin undertone test camera rather than trusting one image. Should I disable portrait mode and lock white balance before taking a short series of photos? I could place a white sheet and a gray reference beside my face if that makes the comparison more useful. If you have repeated this kind of test, which lighting conditions were consistent, and which clues did you ignore? I would especially appreciate a routine I can repeat on another day before I start choosing hair or clothing colors from the result.
