CONSIDERING YOUR SKIN TONE + EYE COLOR when selecting a new HAIRCOLOR
When looking for inspiration for your hair to show your stylist at your next appointment it is a great idea to look at celebrities and models who have similar features as you. For example if you have fair skin and blue eyes some celebrities you may want to look at are Margogt Robbie or Cameron Diaz. Whereas if you have a dark skin tone and darker eye color maybe take a look at Mila Kunis or some Kardashians for your inspiration. This will help in finding the right inspiration for you and avoid washing out your natural beauty. On the other hand however if you do find the right color it can really accentuate your features.
So you may ask yourself where do I start with picking out my best hair color for me? First understand there are three different types of skin tones : warm, cool, and neutral. To decide your skin tone, hold the colors blue or green beside your face and then yellow and red. If you look good next to the green and blue color you are cool toned and if you look good next to the red and yellow colors you are warm toned. If you look great next to both you are neutral and can wear any color.
If you have a cool skin complexion you may not want to go too dark due to the fact that it may wash you out. Some hair colors that would look good on a cool skin tone would be anything that has a blue or purple base to it such as icy blonde or a raven black. Whereas warm skin tones may look better with hair colors with a yellow or red base such as a rich bronde or mocha brown. To ensure you find the perfect hair color for you, schedule a consultation with a professional stylist at Salon Norrell.
