But which shade of brown to choose? Better a warm color in shades of honey or caramel, a coppery or smokey, colder and more intense? It’s all very simple: just look at the type of complexion that you have. If the color of the eyes can be a good thing to keep in mind when choosing the hair dye, it is in fact first of all the skin, and its gradation, to represent the decisive element in order not to make mistakes.

In general, it can be said that if you have a dark complexion, olive or, on the contrary, very clear, the ideal choice will be a dark brown, tending to dark. On the other hand, if you have light skin with peach , amber or golden undertone, you will need to stay warm-honey, bronze or coppery reflections, thus avoiding cold shades. But let’s look specifically at the various types of skin and the shades of brown that are best suited for each. If you are blond instead, keep an eye on trends for you!

Olive complexion: dark chocolate and reflections on the plum

Golden complexion: brown in shades of honey and bronze

If you have a golden complexion, and therefore warm tones, you should stay away from the cold shades. Forget therefore smokey, dark chocolate and too dark brown, which harden the features on and off the complexion – rather excellent for dark skins and Olivastre – and as you prefer the medium to light brown, with golden highlights, from honey to bronze, to caramel. It is one of the best  Brown hair colors.

Amber complexion: light brown, caramel or copper-colored reflections

As for the previous one, we are talking about a warm undertone, so better to avoid cold and decisive colors and stay on warm and bright shades.

Choose honey shades, if you have a light brown base, better the golden and caramel colors if the base is darker, if it is slightly reddish, accentuate the warm undertones with copper or bronze reflections. Avoid in any case the cold shades of blond ash, or even platinum, which does not enhance your skin tone amber definitely hot.

Porcelain cranium: dark brown and broux

Contrary to what one might think, the ideal brown for women with a pale complexion is the dark one. The very light skin-dark hair mix is in fact among the most perfect and successful. Better to avoid the warm tones of copper, mahogany or caramel: it is the dark colors that best enhance a cold complexion. If you want to create movement, choose nuances on cool shades, staying away from warm golden and coppery hues.

A perfect shade for women with porcelain skin is broux ( find out what it is), an intense brown with reflections in shades of red, but declined more in the cool shades of chestnut than in those warmer than copper. It is one of the best  Brown hair colors.
