Guide To Choose A Hair Color That Compliments Your Skin Tone
Skin tone is vital in determining which hair color best compliments your features. Whether you have brown, dark, or fair skin, there is a hair color for every skin tone. Your hair color plays a crucial role in accentuating your natural beauty.
1. Hair Color For Brown Skin:
Deep, rich, vibrant shades look great on your warm complexion. Colorisma Cairo Yellow, L.A. Pink and Tokyo Purple. Additionally, caramel highlights or lowlights with L.A. Pink can add depth and volume to your hair, creating a stunning look.
2. Hair Color For Dark Skin:
From bold and vibrant to subtle and pastel hair colors, dark skin tones can rock in a wide range of hair colors. Highlights or a balayage with Colorisma Madrid Red, Moroccan Blue or Havana Tea, and other warm shades can bring out the richness of your skin tone.
3. Hair Color For Fair Skin:
Northern Neon, Valencian Orange and Cairo Yellow look phenomenal, highlighting the rosy undertones of fair skin, enhancing your naturally chic vibe.
Understanding your skin undertone is as important as knowing your skin tone. Now, what is Undertone? Undertone refers to the subtle hue beneath the surface of your skin and can be categorized as warm, cool, or neutral. Your skin tone may change due to tanning or other external factors, but your undertone never changes.
Let's find out how to determine your skin undertone:
1. Look At Your Veins:
Examining your veins is the easiest way to determine your skin undertone. If it appears green, you have a warm undertone; if your veins look blue or purple, you have a cool undertone. If you cannot distinguish between green and blue, or if your veins match your natural skin tone, then it's a neutral undertone.
2. Look Into Your Eyes:
If the color of your eyes is blue, green, gray or pale brown eyes, you know you have a cool undertone. If you have hazel, brown or amber eyes, it is probably because you have a warm undertone. For neutral undertones, the color of the eyes may be a blend of warm and cool undertones.
3. Look At How Your Skin Reacts To Sun:

When you are out in the sun, notice how your skin reacts. If your skin tends to burn easily in the sun, it means your skin has less melanin, and your skin has a cool undertone. You have a warm or neutral undertone if your skin gets tanned easily but rarely burns.
Now that you are well-versed in determining your skin undertone, let's look at the hair colors that compliment your skin undertone. As per experts, the thumb rule is that warm hair colors are ideal for warm undertones, and for cool undertones, cool hair colors are the best.
