MATCHING YOUR SKIN TONE

Selecting the wrong hair color can add years to your real age, so it's important that you find a good colorist to help you select the color that is best for your skin tone and eye color.

Hair colors are usually either warm or cool, and you need to match the hair color with your skin's undertone color. One way to determine your skin's undertone color is to look at the veins in your wrist in sunlight or quartz lighting, which give a truer color rendition.

This are the hair color that can match your skin tone

Neutral or cream-color skin tones:

- For the people people with dark eyes stick with medium brown colors or medium reds. If you have hazel, blue, or green eyes.

Warm skin tones::

- If your eyes are dark brown, black, or hazel color, Surratt suggests that you go with black, medium brown, or golden brown hair. A wine or auburn color would enhance your natural color. If your eyes are hazel, blue, or green and your natural hair color is light brown to medium blonde, add light or golden highlights or choose a medium brunette color on the warm side. If your eyes are blue or green and you have naturally blonde hair, stay with golden blondes and very light brunette shades. Vivid red tones and warm reds will work well for you also.

Yellow tint or sallow skin tones:

- If you have dark or hazel eyes, you will look great with shades from black to medium brown. Auburn, wine, or aubergine also will accentuate your own natural coloring. If you have hazel, blue, or green eyes, light browns and medium blondes will look good. Keep the blondes on the ashy or sandy side and stay away from gold colors. If your eyes are blue or green and your hair is naturally blonde, go with a neutral or sandy blonde or opt for light brunette without a lot of warmth. And if your hair is naturally on the red side, keep the red subdued and don't go too vibrant.

The wrong hair color can make you look tired, older, or even unhealthy. But the right cut and color can make you look younger and slimmer and can even appear to alter the shape of your face. - Everyday Healthy
