Choose your skin tone!
I’ll suggest the most flattering shades to enhance your green eyes.
What hair colour suits green or light eyes and very fair skin?
If you have porcelain skin, light green or blue eyes, and naturally light blonde or light brown hair, you have a soft, delicate profile. To enhance it, go for gentle lightening and avoid harsh contrasts.
Hair colours to choose:
- Baby blonde or champagne
- Light golden or copper brown
- Soft reds like Venetian blonde or golden red
- Golden or copper highlights
Recommended examples

Avoid:
- Cool or ashy tones
- Shades that are too dark or saturated
- Deep red, blue or violet reflections
My tip: Try a subtle balayage or a few light highlights. This brings light to your face while preserving your natural softness.
What hair colour suits green eyes and fair skin?
You have green eyes (light, dark or grey-green) and fair skin that tans easily? Whether your hair is blonde, brown or darker, let’s find the perfect tone to enhance your skin and make your eyes sparkle.
Golden, copper or red tones are especially flattering on green eyes. They warm up the complexion, soften features and intensify the iris.
Hair colours to choose
If your hair is light (blonde to light brown):
- Radiant blondes: beige, platinum, golden
- Copper or golden highlights
- Warm reds like Venetian blonde or golden red
- Soft tie and dye or ombré styles
If your hair is dark:
- Dark brown with golden, hazelnut or auburn tones
- Warm chocolate or rich brown
- For a bold look: black with golden or auburn reflections
Example colour suggestions
Left to right: 8.31 Light Beige Blonde (Excellence Age Perfect Blondes), 6.41 Hazelnut (Excellence Crème Brown), 3.23 Dark Chocolate (Casting Crème Gloss Brunettes/Blacks)
Colours to avoid
- Ash blondes, which dull green eyes
- Champagne or violet shades that are too cool
- If your hair is light, avoid dark brown dyes that weigh down your look
My tip: Start from your natural shade and enhance with nearby warm tones. A balanced, luminous result guaranteed.
What hair colour suits green or blue eyes and redhead skin?
Do you have redhead skin, freckles, and green or light blue eyes? You’re in a rare and beautiful category — and the goal is to enhance your natural harmony.
Recommended colours:

- Light reds like golden copper or Venetian blonde
- Soft red highlights: Irish red, auburn, plum
- Golden or copper balayage in similar tones
Example colour suggestions
Left to right: 7.31 Golden Blonde (Prodigy Blondes), 6.45 Amber Dark Copper Blonde (Prodigy Blondes), 6.32 Byzantium Dark Golden Blonde (L’Or Nude Prodigy Blondes)
Avoid:

Do you have warm, golden or olive-toned skin and green or blue eyes? This contrast is gorgeous — when enhanced with the right tones.

Avoid:
