Red & Copper · Level 8
Strawberry Blonde for Olive Skin Tone.
Strawberry Blonde leans warm, so on olive skin it reads as contrast rather than harmony — striking on some faces, draining on others. At level 8, Strawberry 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 olive-leaning sibling as your backup plan.
