I’m a guy, but I like to watch makeup videos from time to time. When the person is putting on foundation and they explain they are a neutral undertone, red undertone, cool undertone. What does that mean? When I watch them put the foundation on their face/hand and they show it, it looks the same to me. I don’t really understand lol.

So your undertone is the subtle natural color underneath your skin’s surface.
I found this test to tell what you have
“Grab a pure white piece of clothing or even just a piece of white paper. In bright, natural light, hold the item up to your face. If your skin looks pink or rosy by comparison, you’re cool toned. If your face looks more yellow, your undertone is warm. If you feel you look better in off-white or creamy hues rather than stark white, that’s another telltale sign that you may be warm-toned. If you can wear both colors without feeling like you look washed out, you may have a neutral undertone.”
Depending on what color your undertone is, you have to adjust the makeup you use to get your desired result. You know how certain colors look better together than others? It works the same with your skin and makeup.
