🌟 Why matching your hair colour to your eyes makes all the difference
Changing your hair shade isn’t just a style update — it’s a powerful way to highlight your eyes and elevate your presence. Your eyes are one of the first things people notice, so why not make them shine with the right hair colour?
Taking your eye colour into account (and not just your skin) allows you to create elegant contrast or soft harmony, depending on your goals. The right shade will make your iris sparkle, soften your features and instantly brighten your whole face.
Benefits of choosing the right colour:
- Brightens your complexion and makes you glow
- Enhances your eye colour
- Softens or sculpts your facial features
- Boosts your confidence and wellbeing
- Gives a more natural and flattering result
The risks of the wrong shade:
- Dull or greyish complexion
- Unnatural, wig-like appearance
- Emphasises flaws like dark circles or redness
- High cost to fix (colour removal, correction…)
- Disappointment and lack of confidence

How to choose the right hair colour based on your eyes
Which hair dye will make your eyes pop? Whether your eyes are blue, green, brown, hazel or black, some hair shades will highlight them better than others. And yet, this important detail is often overlooked!
Hair colours for light eyes
If you’ve got beautiful light eyes (blue or green), some hair tones will be more flattering than others. For those with fair skin, golden, copper or red-based shades are great choices. If your skin is olive or medium-toned, richer browns or burgundy hues will complement your gaze.
Hair colours for dark eyes
To make the most of darker eyes (hazel, brown, black), you’ll want tones that bring depth and shine. For fair skin, try radiant chestnut or light brown shades. If you have olive skin, go for warm colours like dark chestnut, iced brown, caramel or auburn. For deeper skin tones, rich hues like deep chocolate, espresso brown or jet black will illuminate your gaze.
How to pick the right hair colour
Here are 3 practical tips to help you find the shade that truly suits you.
1. Your natural hair colour
Start with your base colour. Try to stay within two shades lighter or darker to maintain a natural look. This helps you achieve a result that enhances your features without being too harsh.
A drastic shift — like going from black to platinum blonde — can accentuate under-eye circles or wash you out.

2. Your skin tone
Your complexion plays a major role. A common mistake? Picking a colour that blends in too much or clashes too sharply with your skin. What you want is a soft contrast — something that stands out gently and brings balance.
For example:
- On fair skin, overly pale golden tones might make you look tired.
- On dark skin, very light blonde often lacks harmony and looks unnatural.

3. Your eyes
They’re your secret weapon — the soul of your expression. Some shades make them sparkle, others drain the life out of them.
Examples:
- Green eyes? Glowing with copper undertones.
- Hazel eyes? Shimmer with golden tones.
- Dark eyes? Enhanced by deep shades like espresso or auburn.
