The darker color is 100% you. It makes you look vibrant and refreshed. The lighter color washes out your coloring and makes you look a little tired and washed out. Your skin and bone structure are absolutely gorgeous so you should wear a color that makes you the focal point vs the other way around. Hopefully that made sense. ♥️

@@happytrails699you are so gorgeous and look so young for your age already. This color looks amazing on you. If you do want to brighten or lighten it up a little and if it is ok with the brand you are using, you may want to go 1/2 color you used in this video with 1/2 5G or 6G. This can help make sure you don't end up with too much brass or red tones. I do this mix with demi permanent color because my eyes and hair and skin are close to yours in color. If I go all 5G I get a lot of red ones. I am not a professional colorist just someone who has colored my own hair for 40 yrs.

@happytrails699 Please, your skin tone will look tired again in golden hues. If you go lighter, please stay within natural brown tones. Our skin hue changes as we get older (I'm 66...) and gold is not your friend anymore unless you wear make-up to bridge the gap out of necessity. With your darker hair, you get the urge to wear make-up because you're inspired to! It's a big difference when you compare the two reasons... You look stunning!!!

The darker shade really brings out your beautiful eyes. The previous color really made you look dull & washed out but THIS new color is definitely an huge improvement. I'm part Japanese & always had dark brown/black hair. I started going grey in my late 30's. I'm now 57 & stopped dying my hair to cover up the gray about 5-6 years ago. My hair is now a "salt & pepper" blend. I used XMONDO Supergloss to help get rid of any brassy undertones & it made my silver streaks so shiny & soft. I love that stuff!
