Brown hair: golden, bronze or copper? Here's how to choose the shade that's right for you!
Brown, as we know, is one of the most common and appreciated colors by Italian women, but often it can be a bit dull and dull, especially at certain times of the year, and for this reason we use shatush, strokes of sun and other bleaching techniques, in an attempt to revive it and give brightness to the face.
But which shade of brown to choose? Better a warm color in shades of honey or caramel, a copper or a smokey, colder and more intense? It's all very simple: just look at the type of complexion you have. If the color of the eyes can be a good fact to keep in mind in the choice of 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.
Generally speaking, it can be said that if you have a dark, olive or, on the contrary, very light complexion, the ideal choice will be a dark brown, tending to dark brown. If, on the other hand, you have a light skin with a peach, amber or golden undertone, you will need to stay on the warm tones of honey, bronze or coppery reflections, thus avoiding cold shades.
But let's see specifically the various types of skin and the most suitable shades of brown for each.

Olive complexion: dark chocolate and reflections on the plum
In most cases, women with olive complexions also have black or dark brown eyes; it is therefore essential to support these tones with an equally dark brown, tending towards dark brown. The ideal would be an intense chocolate, which can be enlivened by nuances in shades of coffee or plum.
Golden complexion: chestnut in shades of honey and bronze
If you have a golden complexion, and therefore on warm tones, you should stay away from cold shades. Forget therefore smokey, dark chocolate and too dark browns, which harden the features and turn off the complexion - excellent instead for dark and olive skin - and prefer medium-light brown, with golden reflections, from honey, to bronze, to caramel.
Amber complexion: light brown, caramel or copper reflections
As for the previous one, we are talking about a warm undertone, so it is better to avoid cold and decisive colors and stay on warm and bright shades. No dark browns tending to dark nor blacks, instead prefer light browns on golden or coppery tones, based on your base. Choose the shades of honey, 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 undertone with coppery or bronze reflections. In any case, avoid the cold shades of ash blonde, or even platinum, which do not enhance your decidedly warm amber skin tone.

Porcelain skull: dark brown and broux
Contrary to what one might think, the ideal brown for women with a diaphanous complexion is the dark one. The very light skin-dark hair mix is in fact one of 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 shades on cold shades, staying away from warm golden and copper shades.
A perfect color for porcelain-skinned women is broux (find out what it is here), an intense brown with reflections in shades of red, but declined more in the cold shades of chestnut than in the warmer shades of copper.
