Choosing the right colour is mostly down to personal preference and what suits your skin tone best. If you are unsure, here are some golden rules:
1. Choose the right shade:
L'Oréal Paris recommends staying within 1-2 shades lighter or darker than your natural hair colour. This will harmonise with your natural skin and eye colour.
2. Respect your natural skin colouring:
Your overall natural colouring determines whether warm (golden tones) or cool (ash & pearl tones) will suit you. Take into consideration the combination of your skin, eyes and natural hair tones.
Warmer, golden skin tones or those with freckles will suit warmer shades such as honey, caramel, copper, mahogany and auburn.
Cooler skin tones, those with a slight pinkish tinge or neutral skin tones will suit ash, pearl, chocolate, violet, cool chestnut and beige.
Blue eyes will be enhanced by copper tones.
Green eyes will be enhanced by violet/burgundy tones.
Brown eyes will suit all tones as brown is considered a neutral colour, however play up your golden brown eyes with warm tones or your deep brown eyes with cooler tones.
