if you're pale and have light eyes?
my eyes are grey with yellow in it, although it can look bluer/greener depending what i wear.
anyway my natural is blonde but i get it highlighted to look even blonder. i stopped wearing make-up cause my eyelashes are already dark that any eye makeup looks overdone and i'm sensitive to a lot of products i put on my face. so i still need a colour that'll make me look alive at least :( i did hav a temp light brown but imo it just made me look boring.


so for experience does a darker colour or lighter colour look best? idk what kind of brown to go for :/

im no expert on hair colour but i do think that a nice shade of reddish brown looks gorjus with pale skin and light eyes. not full on ginger mind.
seen a girl working in asdas with blue eye, pale skin, reddish brown hair and black framed glasses and thought she looked stunning.

the only risk I think you'd have jen is if you go too dark you may look quite pale.

I prefer brunettes but after seeing Lexie off Grey's Anatomy going blonde I was like woah but that might just be because she is fit so won't affect you but idk if you're pale don't go too dark unless you want to look like a *REMOVED*

Yeah deffo don't go too dark. There's this girl in my year who was sort of light brown and went dark brown and her skin which was pretty pale almost looks like greenish now. not cool. plus if you go darker it's much harder to go light again. I liked you blonde, but maybe a more honeyish blonde?

Stawberry blonde could be nice as its a warmer colour that can be quite striking.

tried a honey/golden blonde. made my skin look yellow :(
im eventually gonna go bak to my natural blonde anyway
just wanted to try brown for a change, least i'm cutting it quite short, my hair grows inredibly fast when in summer so i'll be blonde soon again. just wanted a change.
i luv my hairdresser, she'll probably point me in the right direction. she said to look up cool browns and see what i like

ginger

i really don't want any shade of blonde! lol. especially not WARM as that'll make me look ill would it not? considering i'm light skinned and light eyed.

also @ the guy who said bout redbrown im unsure. my friend got hers done and it looks really nice. she has more colour in her skin than i do. i don't have like any except SOMETIMES i get a little pink. not much :@
thx anyways xo

There is a lot about it on the internet I think, would be best to go to your hairdressers and they can advise you and its like you said about your eyes, it also depends what colour skin has most of it in i.e. red, yellow etc.

But maybe something like that, its sort of almost ginger but brunette and a bit of something else.

Yes sorry you are right - I read it as green eyes. Grey eyes = cool tones.
This might help.

I'd say not too dark, yet at the same time not too late. So somewhere in the Brunette sphere would probably suit you well.
