What is a neutral undertone?
I have read that a neutral undertone show no signs of either pink or yellow tones. I'm a cool-neutral and I have pink to my skin but most foundations are either too pink or yellow. My veins are blue and purple. Some say that neutral undertones = olive. Which confuses me because I cannot tan as I am quite pale.
So what is a neutral undertone?

I'm not much of a makeup guru, since I don't really wear it... but here's what I know...
There are three kinds of neutral undertone...
Warm - which has a yellow tint
Cool - which has a pale pink tint
Olive - which is, of course, greenish
If you're super crazy pale, like I am, you're a Cool. Means you have mostly bluish veins, too. There are, of course, varying shades of cool neutral...
If you're having problems finding an undertone that matches you correctly, you should go to a makeup desk at... a Macy's... or Dillards... or Ulta... and have the people there show you the choices for your skin tone. You'd be impressed.

This can be a bit tricky especially because a neutral undertone is right in the middle if cool and warm. The great thing about having a neutral undertone is that you can pretty much get away with wearing any color (make up as well) and get away with it. Because your veins are more blue and purple, it seems like you have a cool/neutral undertone. Since I can't see how you look like, I would recommend 3 things when choosing the right foundation. For one, you can take this simple quiz that'll help you understand your undertone better and what foundation would work. I'll provide the link down below. Secondly, you can visit a MAC store or go to maccosmetics.com and speak to a live person through chat. They ask you several questions and match you with a foundation/concealer shade based on your undertone.
Good luck!
