Colours to avoid
Also go easy on shades too close to your blonde hair, which can flatten your natural contrast.
Your contrast
You have low contrast — your hair and skin are similar in depth — so soft, blended, tonal makeup flatters you most. A very dark lip or harsh liner can overpower your natural colouring; keep it diffused.
Working with blonde hair
Blonde hair is light and slightly warm — warm neutrals, soft corals and clear blues make it glow, while stark cool shades can wash you out.
