Hello
I have quite pale skin which has only just started to tan in my early 50s on my face and arms but the rest of me is milk white .
I have strong blue eyes and dark blond / pale brown eyelashes and blonde brows which I dye .
Make up consultants struggle to say if I am warm or cool clouring .
Bobbi brown say definitely cool and but brown eyeliner and a coral lip to show me what wArm wd look like and I looked as if my face was muddy .
So I go to the hairdressers for colour full head as now salt and pepper .
As child I was white blond till I was 6 , then gold , then dark blonde - pale brown .
The hairdresser says I'm cool tone and if people are cool tone they need a warm colour hair shades to warm them up .is this correct ?
I once had ash blonde and was stopped in the street to ask what was wrong as I looked ill . But I yearn for posh blonde highlights !! My current colour is Celtic copper which is a 743 base with lighter copper in it achieved by highlights washed over with cooper .at 52 I'm feeling a bit silly as a sort of red head which i have looked good I think for many years and it does suit my skin tone , but cannot now mimic a natural redhead as they have their own lovely faded red which a bottle cannot match !!
Help if possible wd be approciated !!
I mean I like the red but I'm not sure I can get away with it anymore and am looking for alternative ideas please ! A paler copper ? Eek ! Don't know !!!
