Hair color for your skin tone

The short answer: find your skin undertone and choose the color in the same direction. Skin with a warm undertone suits warm colors (honey, caramel, copper); skin with a cool undertone suits cool colors (ash, cool brown, cool blonde). Below is how to find yours in a minute.

The quick undertone test

Look at the veins on your wrist in natural light:

• Green veins: warm undertone. Gold and copper colors suit you.
• Blue or purple veins: cool undertone. Ash and cool shades suit you.
• You cannot tell clearly: neutral undertone. Both suit you, and you have more freedom.

Color by skin and eyes

Skin	Suits better	Avoid
Fair with a cool undertone	Cool blonde, cool brown	Orange and strong copper
Fair with a warm undertone	Honey, caramel, soft copper	Very cool ash
Medium warm	Warm brown, chocolate, caramel	Platinum blonde
Dark	Deep brown, chestnut reflections	Very light blonde in one step

The eyes help you fine-tune the finish: green or hazel eyes go beautifully with warm reflections, blue or gray eyes with cool shades.

Why a gorgeous photo sometimes comes out different

A color in a photo shows the wish, not the result. That color was done on different skin, eyes and hair, in a different light. Besire reads your undertone and tells you openly whether the color you want brightens or dulls your face, and how to reach the version that suits precisely you.

From the wish to the plan

When the color needs lifting, the technique changes: a balayage gives natural warmth around the face, while a full coloring gives a uniform tone. If you are hesitating, send a photo of your current hair and of the tone you want, and we plan the safe route together.
