Find the Best Hair Colour for Your Skin Tone & Eye Colour

With endless shades to choose from, it can be very confusing to know what really suits you. The right hair colour can brighten your features, elevate your style and also boost your confidence. Considering eye colour is just as important as skin tone when choosing the best hair colour. 

And at Springs, you can find a curated range of professional hair colours, making it easy for you to choose the right shade that enhances your natural beauty. In this article, you will find a comprehensive guide to understanding your skin and eye colour, which will help you pick the right colour for your hair. 

Step 1: Identify your Skin Undertone 

We usually label our skin tone as light, medium or dark, not realising that undertones play a bigger role in selecting the right colour. Once you understand your skin undertone, finding the right hair colour becomes easier. The three basic undertones are neutral, cool and warm. 

1- Neutral Undertones

Individuals with a neutral undertone have a mix of both warm and cool hues. Signs that tell you have a neutral undertone are: 

1. Bluish-green appearance of veins

2. Skin doesn't tan or burn super fast 

3. Both silver and gold jewellery suits you
   

2. Cool Undertones 

Individuals with cool undertones have pink, red and blue hues. Signs that tell you have a cool undertone are: 

1. The appearance of veins is either purple or bluish 

2. Skin may burn easily in the sun 

3. Silver jewellery suits better

3. Warm Undertones 

Individuals with warm undertone skin show hints of peach, yellow and golden hues. Signs that tell you have a warm undertone are: 

1. The appearance of the veins is greenish 

2. Skin may tan easily 

3. Gold jewellery is more flattering on the skin 

Step 2: Choosing the hair colour that matches your skin undertone 

1- Hair Colour for Neutral Undertones 

Individuals with neutral undertones have a slight advantage compared to individuals with cool and warm undertones. Both warm and cool tones look amazing on them. Neutral shades give a balanced, effortless look without overpowering your features. 

Our top picks of shades are: 

1. Mocha Brown 

2. Dark Brown

3. Soft Black 

4. Neutral Balayage 

 2. Hair Colour for Cool Undertones 

Individuals with cool undertones should look for shades that balance the natural coolness of their skin and tones that shape their features. Cool undertones have hues of red; hence, looking for shades that soften that redness and complement the natural coolness of the skin is a must. 

Our top picks of shades are: 

1. Ash Brown 

2. Ash Blonde

3. Cool Espresso

4. Burgundy 

3. Hair Colour for Warm Undertones 

Individuals with warm undertones should go for shades that enhance the warmth and brighten the skin. They should pick shades that are rich and warm as they help to bring out the natural glow, and add richness to your look. 

Our top picks of shades are: 

1. Caramel Brown 

2. Golden Brown 

3. Honey Blonde 

4. Chocolate Brown 

Step 3: Match your Hair Colour with your Eye Colour 

We generally don’t realise how important eye colour is when it comes to choosing the right shade for your hair dye. Often, it is neglected due to less awareness of its importance. Eye colour helps in popping the hair shade even more. 

1- Brown Eyes 

Brown eye colour is the most popular colour in the world,  found in almost 70-79% of the global population. And this colour is universally versatile, hence can handle both cool and warm tones. Even if your eyes are light honey or deep espresso, the following shades can easily add depth to your look. 

Best Matches: 

1. Dark Chocolate 

2. Hazelnut Brown 

3. Espresso 

4. Burgundy 

2. Hazel Eyes 

Even though hazel eyes are less common in Pakistan, we are still here to help you out if you decide to wear hazel lenses. Hazel eyes usually shine beautifully with warm colours because of flecks of gold, green and brown in them. The following shades help bring out the green and gold tones in individuals with this eye colour. 

Best Matches: 

1. Caramel Highlights 

2. Honey Blonde 

3. Warm Aubrun 

4. Golden Brown 

3. Green Eyes 

One of the rarest eye colours is green. These individuals look best with red-based shades and contrasting cool tones. To boost the natural vibrancy of green eyes and make them look brighter, the following shades can be a good pick. 

Best Matches: 

1. Deep Auburn 

2. Mahogany 

3. Cool Brown 

4. Chestnut Brown 

Step 4: Natural Hair Colour and Maintenance Level 

Your natural hair colour is one of the best colours you have been gifted by God. And one of the best approaches is to always pick a shade that is closer to your natural hair colour, but you can also always experiment if you are daring. 

Along with that, you should also see how much maintenance your hair requires. Some people have to dye once in 3 months, while some have to dye every 3 weeks. It all depends on how much maintenance you're comfortable with. 

Low Maintenance Options: 

1. Chocolate Brown 

2. Caramel Balayage 

3. Dark Blonde 

4. Soft Black
