Blondes

It’s always important to consider your skin tone as well as your hair color especially if you’re a blonde. If you’re hair color is natural, chances are your skin color has pink under tones, where as if you’re a born brunette, your skin is a probably a little more olivy. Also keep in mind, there are many shades of blond, so you definitely have to experiment with what works best.
