イエベ is the abbreviated form of イエローベース (yellow base) and refers to people whose skin has warm, golden undertones. In the パーソナルカラー system, イエベ is further divided into Spring (イエベ春) and Autumn (イエベ秋) subtypes. This classification influences which makeup shades, clothing colors, and hair colors are considered most flattering. The イエベ/ブルベ distinction has become fundamental to Japanese beauty culture and commerce.
