The eyes have it
Q: What are the hair colour rules when it comes to eye colour and skin tone? I’m desperate for a colour change
A: Broadly speaking, green or brown eyes and a creamy or olive complexion suit creamy, honeyed, chestnut tones, while lighter eyes and paler skins tend to suit ashy, beige shades, says Sibi Bolan, head colourist at Daniel Hersheson.
‘The further you go away from your natural colour, the less likely it is to suit you unless you are one of those rare people, like Linda Evangelista or Gwen Stefani, who can take pretty much anything.’
‘Dramatically lightening very dark hair can bring out yellow tones which are not great if you also have pale skin,’ adds Trevor Sorbie. ‘While dark hair can wash you out if you have light eyes and are naturally fair. Changing your colour very slowly one way of moving from one look to another without ending with a colour you hate.’
