Methods for determining skin tone a lot. You can choose the one that seems more comfortable, or to try everything.

The neutral tone is usually difficult to attribute to any kind - it usually has a beige shade, although the nature of the rare people who could be unequivocally attributed to some type.

Attach background material to the neck in daylight (but not direct sunlight) and see to what shade more prone skin. If you notice a cool blue notes, and then a cold tone. If you notice a yellow tinge, then warm tone. And if you are not sure and can not pinpoint, then most likely you have a neutral tone.
Another quick way to determine the tone - Look at the veins on the wrist. If they have a greenish tint, so the skin warm hue, and if blue - so cold.
You can also ask friends or watch yourself, what color clothes you are best suited. If you have a cool skin tone, then you are likely to fit the following colors and shades: cool pinks, fuchsia, lilac, violet, plum, blue shades, blue, turquoise, cool shades of green. Warm skin tone fit these colors: warm shades of pink (salmon), coral, red, warm shades of brown, orange, warm yellow, olive, green, warm colors (such as "protective" green). If you notice that you are almost all colors, so you have a neutral skin tone.
