Blonde · Level 9

Ash Blonde for Warm Skin Tone.

Ash Blonde leans cool, so on warm skin it reads as contrast rather than harmony — striking on some faces, draining on others. At level 9, Ash Blonde brings serious brightness — it lights up the face when the undertone agrees.

Don't rule it out, but don't book blind either: try it on your photo first, and keep a warm-leaning sibling as your backup plan.
