More about hair color

I have been golden blonde (my natural color), and now I am reddish brown, and I’m not sure if I like either. The golden blonde seems to wash me out, and the reddish brown, although it looks good with my blue eyes, seem to be a bit harsh with my pale skin. Maybe I’m just too picky, or maybe I’m becoming obsessed about finding a new hair color. Maybe I need therapy, rather than dying my hair, I don’t know, but I’m not quite ready to leave the issue behind yet…
The other day, I was thinking about how to figure out whether my skin has warm undertone or cool. I do know that my veins are definitely greenish, but, in the past, when I bought eye makeup for warm skin tone, it really doesn’t look good. I remember buying a browny goldish kit that made me look like I was ready for Mardi Gras. I also bought some rust/browny red/coppery type colors which made me look like I had been crying for a week straight!
When I was young and crazy, I tried both blue and purple/lavender shadow, too – NOT!!! Makes me look like someone has given me a fist on each eye…
There is really only one alternative – a totally neutral kit, like Cover Girl’s “Desert sand.” This is just chocolate brown, neutral tan and a light pinkish highlight. Gorgeous.
I also remember buying two sweaters from Victoria’s Secret once. They were both the same style, one was neutral chocolate brown, and one was warm rust. The chocolate brown looked great, the rust brown I never used. It sat in my closet until I threw it out one day.
And, the same applies to lip stick, too. Forget about anything too pink, too red or too coral. The only thing worth looking at is the brownish nudes, as neutral as possible!
So, maybe, just maybe, I’m neither cool nor warm? Maybe, because I’m so pale, I actually have a really neutral skin color? I know I look better in warmish colors, so it must be a little on the warm side, but anything too warm makes me look scary pale.
So, here is what I’m going to do next: I’m going to try a neutral medium blonde hair color and see what happens. Maybe the key to picking the right hair color is about getting the shade and the undertone just right, and if the skin is pale enough, neutral might be the best way to go? I’ll let you know what happens…
