I am trying to work out my undertone at home but my results change more than I expected. In indirect morning light my skin seems neutral to cool while warm indoor bulbs make it look noticeably golden. Automatic processing seems to shift the image even when I keep the same position and background. I tested with no makeup and a neutral top so clothing should not be adding much reflected color. As a second opinion I am trying a 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. For anyone who has compared camera tests with an in-person result, which lighting conditions were consistent, and which clues did you ignore? A repeatable checklist would help more than a single verdict before I start choosing hair or clothing colors from the result.
