Introductory Course, Part IV YELLOW UNDERTONES

In the previous segment, I introduced RED UNDERTONES; undertones, which reflect by all in our blushes pertaining to individual base colors. The final installment is that of the YELLOW UNDERTONE. Unlike the lessons beforehand, this should be short and sweet in the showcasing of warm hues within strictly indigenous humans.

I left off with a glimpse of my multiethnic theory, in that, THOSE WITH DIVERSE ETHNIC BACKGROUNDS POSSESS A MIX-MATCH OF BASE COLORS AND UNDERTONES; UNLIKE THOSE WHO ARE STRICTLY INDIGENOUS, WHOSE UNDERTONES MATCH IN INTENSITY [DEGREE OF PIGMENTATION] TO THEIR BASE COLORING. Grace Mahary, is of warm hue, and while her base is that of TL, does she have the undertone of tW. She, is another case of a multicultural woman.

{NOTE: Undertones are not flattering to the wearer, but almost look as if a "peeling of skin". It makes one appear quite dull.}

[EPILOGUE: Think of these three sets of colors introduced, as if a palette of oil paints. The mixing of such colors can produce interesting results. Mix blue with white, and it becomes a fairer blue shade. Now, if there is already a fair blue shade by the name of BABY BLUE, is the mixed product of the deep blue and white of the same INTENSITY? Could this color also be called BABY BLUE? Or, is it a different shade altogether? I wish for you to examine mixed persons as if this combination, and the full-blooded as the initial baby blue. This will assist in understanding the next segment of my introductory course: REFLECTIVE (BASE) COLOR.]
