Don't know which hairstyle to choose? We can help.
Finding the right hair color for your skin tone can be the difference between a bright, bold shade and one that fades or contrasts with your natural color. However, if your end goal is to get hair that perfectly matches your skin tone, you'll want to be more strategic about your next hairstyle. Don't know where to start? We asked colorists to share their favorite blonde hair colors based on skin tone, so read on for some inspiration.
For olive tones, beige sandblast
People with olive skin have a golden or green color to their skin. This dark blonde shade is a beautiful mix between a neutral brown tone and a sandy blonde. In Aniston's case, the colorist painted honey-colored spots on her face to make her glow.
"It gives him this warm, natural glow," says Bradley Lake, author of Celebrity. "The depth of this color works well with olive skin because it doesn't compete with warm natural tones."
For olive tones, go for caramel blues
Beyoncé's iconic Caramel Blonde is one of those golden to olive shades. "Olive hues look best on golden hair and light blondes because they match a neutral skin tone and help brighten facial features," explains Taylor Johnson, founder of Nous Hair Care.
This shade of yellow is perfect for dark complexions because it doesn't require your colorist to go overboard with the grafting process and allows for a smooth build-up.
Platinum blade for cool tones
Cool colors can be pink, red and maybe a little blue. One way to identify a soft shade is to look at the veins on the wrist. If it looks blue or purple, you probably have fair skin.
Platinum blonde is one of the most sought-after hairstyles out there, but when it works, it works. This shade is best suited for cold tones, although the appropriate treatment will look good on other skin tones.
"It's basically a blank, colorless surface when you're exposed to the right light," says Tiffany Richards, lead colorist at Louise O'Connor Salon. "Any eye color will pop and sit happily next to the treatment you choose to apply." creates.
For bright color: soft, light yellow
This soft baby hair has dark roots and a multi-faceted mix of black and bright shades. The bright layers that cover the face also create a beautiful look in front of the sun. Spill notes, "This look works especially well with skin, which often has a pink undertone." "The dark undertones keep fair skin from dulling, and in the evenings, skin and hair tones are even more visible."
For warm tones, buttermilk
Warm skin tends to be peach or orange and has a natural, honey-like appearance. If you look at your wrist and your veins look green, your skin may be warm.
True to its name, this blonde has a warm, salty undertone. At the same time, it has some great colors that blend together to create a beautiful look and movement. "This look is great for fair-skinned skin, with warm undertones, creating depth and beautiful movement in the hair, without looking harsh or washed out like snowy hair," says Johnson.
For warm colors, ash yellow
If you like the idea of cool blonde for your warm skin tone, go for ash hair like Khloe Kardashian here. "Adding a darker shade to an already dyed blonde will add dimension and depth to the hair," she says. Cool tones also flatter your naturally warm complexion and create a nice contrast.
For any skin tone: neutral hair
When in doubt, you can always choose the hair color that suits each skin tone. Neutral brown color is easily combined in different colors, which makes it a very beautiful shade for every color. "It's one of my favorite colors because it's not a strong color, but it still offers softness to highlight features," says Johnson. He adds, "Neutral hair is one of the most versatile hair styles and looks great on any skin tone because it's between golden and cool tones."
For which shade: snow dust
For trendy hair that works with any skin tone, opt for a frosty one like Ciara's. Back-to-back lamination and toner developed to eliminate yellowing. Snowy white can work well on pale pink skin, Warner says, but it also provides a nice contrast for people with darker skin tones and warm undertones. "If you have warm skin, try platinum with yellow to best complement your skin tone," he adds.
