Finding the perfect blonde shade depends on your skin's undertone. The right blonde will enhance your natural beauty, making your complexion radiant.
Determining Your Undertone
Before choosing a blonde shade, identify your skin's undertone:
- Cool Undertone: Your skin has pink, red, or blue undertones. Veins appear blue or purple. Jewelry that complements you best is silver.
- Warm Undertone: Your skin has yellow, golden, or peach undertones. Veins appear green. Gold jewelry looks better on you.
- Neutral Undertone: You possess a mix of both cool and warm undertones. Both gold and silver jewelry can look good.
Blonde Shade Recommendations Based on Undertone
-
Cool Undertone: You'll likely look best in cool-toned blondes. These include:
- Ash Blonde: A muted, gray-toned blonde.
- Beige Blonde: A soft, neutral blonde.
- Baby Blonde: A very light, almost platinum blonde. These shades complement the pink and blue undertones of your skin. As stated in reference material: Generally speaking, paler, pinky skin tones suit cool, delicate blondes; think ash, beige or baby-blonde.
-
Warm Undertone: Warmer blonde shades will enhance your natural coloring. Consider these options:
- Golden Blonde: A classic, sunny blonde.
- Honey Blonde: A rich, amber-toned blonde.
- Caramel Blonde: A deeper, richer blonde with brown undertones. These shades complement yellow and golden undertones; again, the reference notes: Darker or more yellow / golden-toned skins suit golden or honey hues; think butter, golden, caramel tones.
-
Neutral Undertone: You're fortunate! You can experiment with a wider range of blonde shades, from cool to warm tones.
