Butter Blonde for Neutral Skin Tone.

Butter Blonde is a direct match for neutral skin: it leans warm and neutral, so it harmonizes instead of fighting your complexion. At level 9, Butter Blonde brings serious brightness — it lights up the face when the undertone agrees.

Practical check: if you can wear both gold and silver — this shade should settle in immediately. Confirm on your own photo before booking.
