Choosing your hair colour according to your complexion

To enhance your features, your chosen hair colour must complement your complexion. Blonde, brown or red, find the ideal shade to get a completely new look without going wrong!

A vibrant or extreme colour to enhance a pale complexion

To get a radiant complexion, opt for a colour packed full of light which will warm up your pale skin tone: from golden hazelnut brown and coppery strawberry blonde to flaming red. For a more distinct style, go for ash blonde whose silvery shades tone down reddish complexions, or ultra-light platinum, which is in perfect harmony with your skin tone. If you love darker shades, opt for a black-brown which will create a striking contrast with porcelain skin tones.

A warm colour to enhance a golden complexion

Your hair colour should ideally have the same warm tones as your skin, so as not to dull your complexion. To give it a radiant glow instead, you cannot beat bronde or a coppery brunette whose blonde or red shades enhance your complexion. Alternatively, Californian blonde with golden highlights complements your skin tone to perfection. To give your hairstyle more character, choose a chocolate brown or a flaming red which will go wonderfully well with your complexion.

A deliciously rich shade for a dark complexion

With a tanned or dark skin tone, opt for a deep rich shade. Coffee browns, ice brown or liquorice will enhance your complexion and soften your features to perfection. Want to go blonde? Opt for caramel shades which will not clash with your dark complexion. As for red, opt for auburn shades, mahogany or burgundy to light up your base colour.
