dark goth hair

mindless1 · 06-08-2007, 07:25 AM

Any advice on a color that would be dark or "goth" and good for dark features and pale skin? It's very short above my ears. Maybe a shade of red, or purple? I have really blonde right now, but i bleached it too much and now it looks crazy, and i need to fix it...plus i dont want to look cheeky.

Depends on the colour of your eyes, and whether your skin tends to turn red, like mine... If you've got the problem of reddish skin (like many pale- skinned people tend to have), don't go for any colour with a red undertone (or pure red), use cool colours.

From what you describe, I guess you're an Autumn...

Quote:

The autumn type
Autumn women and men have a warm, bronze, golden-olive skin undertone, light to olive-green, steel- or petrol-blue or golden-brown eyes and auburn, medium- or dark-brown or reddish-dark hair. Their personality and appeal are most strongly emphasised by warm,
muted colours with a golden undertone. This golden undertones creates a motley effect like leaves in October. Autumn types should go for warm golden and earth hues.

Is this a correct assumption, or do you think one of the other types apply more to you? (Feel free to ignore the glasses thing, it's the best site I could find)
