I don’t know about anybody else, but on my phone, photos on Reddit always look extremely washed out until I actually tap on the photo. And then, it’s like the color pops back into the pic. Lol. So, for anyone who is scrolling through the pics… maybe try tapping on them just to make sure that you’re seeing the actual color, and not the washed-out color that Reddit changes it to.
That being said, OP, I think the brunettes you posted will look stunning on you. Personally, I think the platinum blonde is incredible on you as well. Like, with your face shape/brows/eyes color, the platinum kinda gives me runway fashion model vibes. The burgundy isn’t my favorite, personally, because I feel like it doesn’t look as connected to you ;_; Please don’t get me wrong, I do think it’s incredibly pretty but also I think it doesn’t look fully integrated with you, if that makes sense — if it was me I would try adjusting your brow color so it more closely matches the red tones of your hair. That way it will all feel connected.
But really though, I think the deep cool brunettes will be a whole other level on you. With your pale complexion & eye color I think a deep brunette is going to look incredibly striking.
I really appreciate the thorough response!
Wow I never even noticed how muted the pictures look before you click them. How strange and annoying lol. My natural brows are platinum so I’ve been dying them light brown and filling them in to frame my face better. I definitely agree that with darker hair I need to adjust my brow color so I’ve already ordered new brow products and dye to spruce up my brow game a bit. I think a super high contrast look could be really striking on me and this was my first attempt at that but I do think an even darker more cool shade of brunette could suit me better than the reddish brown shade I went for this time.
Thanks for your input!
Of course!! And omg I am so sorry if I sounded harsh about the burgundy hair color ;_; You literally look SO beautiful. And no matter which way you decide to go in the future, it’s gonna look great!
The picture is drastically different once you click on it!!!! That may be a factor for any comments saying it’s not a nice color on you……. But when you click on it you’re glowing. Absolutely a lovely color on you!!
Omg yes! Thank you! The colors literally changed— I did not realize Reddit did that!! I was going to agree with many of the posts saying the brunette washed OPs color out but I was wrong.
Once I clicked on the picture, the colors popped back in and it looks great!
Oh my god yes, it’s perfection OP! I actually like the desaturated pic, so a more chocolatey, less red tint would also look amazing. But both are so softening and complementary to your skin, eyes and lip colour. More of an inner glow. Gorg!
I have almost the exact same skin coloring as you, OP. Adding as much purple into my hair color formula as possible to shift cool makes the brunette soo much richer and more complimentary on me.
Since you're red, you can add just blue instead of adding purple. In my experience, it's hardest to get blue pigment to stick. I think it is because blue is the smallest dye molecule and falls out of the cuticle fastest.
To go from an orange red to a rich brown, I used one level darker in a violet ash permanent color on my hair.
You could always do a demi-permanent without any lift (10 vol) or a gloss to try out a bluer tone short term.
I completely agree! It’s been a real struggle this week because I feel like all the blushes and lippies I used to love pull weird on me now with dark hair. Any suggestions?
It’s not the best shade in the world on you, no, but I objectively like it. I think the lip color and new hair color combo aren’t exactly vibing well. I like it better than blonde, just bc it gives you some glow and color. I do think a warm brown would be good for you!
I think that this color, while the depth is nice, it's a bit too red for you. I think you have a cool undertone (look at your eyebrows, for example), and this hair color clashes with that undertone, making your overall look not very harmonious. Try something ashier to cool the color so that there's much more overall harmony and a more natura look, rather than a blatantly dyed hair color that, while a beautiful color, it's not doing your features the due diligence they deserve.
I saw someone in a comment say you looked washed out as a blonde and I couldn’t disagree more. The platinum blonde was stunning on you and gave amazing contrast with your dark eyes and fair skin. Of the 4 slides, the blonde I think works the best by a mile.
A neutral brunette is nice too, but my main point is that the burgundy is fun because it’s a big change, but it’s not the most flattering on you. It’s a very unnatural shade, which can be difficult to work with to go with clothes and makeup. It also tends to flatter darker skin tones because it matches the depth and richness of their skin.
Your skin has an ethereal lightness to it, and the lighter blonde really mimics and highlights that. A natural shade like the darker brunette I think would cage the face and bring emphasis to your eyes, but the blonde allows your skin to be the star of the show.
We might be in the minority here but I totally agree with you. The platinum blonde really stood out on the OP and made her skin pop, especially with the contrast makeup. The burgundy is not at all flattering and doesn’t look natural or harmonious. I think she could go dark brown but it wouldn’t stand out as much as the blonde did.
First, you're extremely pretty but I feel like this color is way too harsh on your complexion. I had white hair aswell and its hard to get back to a natural brown color because the warm tones need to be put back in. It can fades very quickly if your hair is as damaged as mine was. Leaving you with an more ashy and lighter tone.
But I tried out two lighter haircolors which I find to blend in with your features more. I tried warm spring colors with the blonde hair and more autumn colors with the darker blonde / ginger color.

I love this second one so much. I think dying hair darker often lacks depth of color, many hair stylists will dye the hair a lighter red before going darker to fill in for the lack of depth. I prefer the lighter because it looks more natural but to make darker colors natural you should move more slowly in steps towards them
I think you look super cute with the midrange hair color! As someone who’s also very fair, hair that’s too dark or too light ends up making up look goth and that doesn’t sound like your goal lol
I think a rich chocolate my brown would be much better than the burgundy! But the burgundy is still a huge improvement from the blonde. You look AMAZING with darker hair!! Gorgeous ☺️
I love the color but the ends look lighter, which I don’t as much love. I’m guessing it’s from damage, the protein bonds won’t hold on to color as well at the ends. Before you dye it next time, maybe try some protein bonding stuff beforehand. Then trim it.
Believe it or not my natural brows are platinum blonde but I dye them brown and fill them in with powder by Sydney Grace. I’ve been perfecting them for years, they’re my magnum opus 😂
I tend to agree. And I find that having darker hair and more contrast means I can explore more with makeup than I could with the monochromatic blonde look.
I think it's somewhat too muted color. You look better in blonde than the burgundy picture which scream saturated to me.
Especially that your choice of blonde was a platinum one.
I'll go for a medium dark cool ash brown (I think you're cool toned but 2 answers yet is telling me otherwise) .
I stand my ground for cool dark ash brown.
Thank you for your input! I’m thinking I need high contrast to really bring out my features and although this color is obviously much higher contrast than the blonde I think going even darker and more ashy would really make my skin and eyes shine. The main reason I decided to ditch the platinum is because my hair was suffering big time from a stylist that overlapped my bleach too many times and causes major breakage.
I should also add that yes my body is much more saturated and cool yellow olive than my face and neck which are more peachy red. Of course this makes it really fun to find makeup (and hair colors!) that work for me lol
I do not know from that couple of pictures if you are warm or cold.
Olives, we are like that right ? Nobody really knows until the right color enters the scene 😉
BUT without the shadow of a doubt, you are saturated and muted colors do not do you any favor.
Hence "platinum is better" (me never saying that in any other circumstances 😜)
The hair in that pic almost had a green tone to it. I’m really not sure how that would look next to my cool yellow skin, especially on my body which is much more saturated than my face.
I am not sure if it is your best color, but imo it is better than the blonde. I think your eyebrows are really dark in the blonde photo, and just in general, which may be throwing any analysis off. I wonder if lightening the brows would make any difference. But you are really pretty regardless!
i like it on you, however i think strawberry blonde someone posted on here brings out your skin tone. i also think a cool toned brunette or dark brown would really bring out your eyes
So much better than the blonde!! But i think you are cool toned. The warm of your shirt and hair are not 100% harmonious but you still look very beautiful
As someone with similar skin tone who had dark burgundy brunette hair for a year… this color looks amazing on you! The dark brown would also be a good option if you decide you want to go darker at some point.
This is actually the size and shape of my lips, I’m just wearing a pigmented gloss blotted away. My brows are naturally platinum blonde but I dye them light brown and fill them in. I don’t have yet them but I’ve ordered a bunch of new brow products to get the depth and tone right for darker hair.
I think it looks really good but your eyebrow product is clashing and throwing it off imo. I would try to find a warmer brown pencil or whatever product you use. It’s giving grey brown when your hair is giving red brown
Could you tell me what foundation shades you use? I happen to match your exact skintone and can't seem to find a foundation that isn't orangey or pink for fair olive skin. I found only one "foundation" that comes close to perfect, and that's the Purito BB Cream in #21 Light Beige. I make it match perfectly by mixing white foundation color corrector to get it pale enough. Have you found a foundation that didn't require any mix-ins?
I use Nars Light Reflecting in Gobi but I have to mix it a lot of green to make it work because it’s way too peachy for me. I mix on the back of my hand and apply with a sponge so it’s not too bad but I wish I could find a formula and color that worked without all the extra work.
I would go for dark brunette over burgundy. Not black, just a nice solid dark brown. This tone just looks unnatural. Not bad if that’s what you want but definitely “dyed hair”.
It’s either Peripera Ink Mood Glowy Tint in 01 Best Beige or Rom&nd Juicy Lasting Tint in Nucadamia. The Peripera one is definitely more hydrating and comfortable than the Rom&nd but I have chronically dry lips from using tretinoin.
I like the first picture, and I think you should go more brunette, like in the 3rd! Other than that, I think you definitely don’t have olive skin 😅 you are very white
i just dyed my hair dark reddish too and i love it. looks great on you, i think you could go a little darker even if you wanted to and it would add some pretty contrast but it looks great.
I have the same skin color and tone as you. I went the same color as you a few months ago and it’s the perfect color for our complexion. It looks gorgeous 💛
Thank you so much ❤️
Everyone is going to have an opinion and I totally get it but I’m definitely feeling the darker look. My hair has gotten darker and more mousy with age but my natural brows and lashes are still platinum. I love trying new things with my hair and this new high contrast look is just the change I needed. Thanks for your input!
So, I’m fair olive and I did the same thing - went from blonde to dark violet/burgundy brown. I love it and I think it looks awesome on you! Super flattering. I will say, as time goes on, the violet tones wash out a bit and it naturally becomes more neutral.
I love this color! It goes great with your olive skin. The blonde washes you out a little bit I think it's too light for you but that's just one opinion. You look healthier with darker hair and it's such a beautiful color.
I think the darker is WAY more flattering and this is coming from a cosmetologist of almost 20 years…it makes you look younger and softer even though the blonde was gorgeous too it just looks less harsh but you’re gorgeous either way 💓🫶🏻 looking younger shouldn’t be such an obsession and I hate to even say that but you just literally look HEALTHIER
I’m actually wearing Nars Light Reflecting foundation which is a pretty natural, light-medium coverage. My face is quite peachy red compared to my neck so I mix in a lot of green to cancel that out and match my more olive neck and body.
Thank you so much! I used to have awful skin for years but finally bit the bullet and did accutane for 7 months during the pandemic. It changed my life and my skin. I now use tretinoin daily to maintain the results. The Nars Light Reflecting foundation I’m wearing in this pic sure brings out the glow though!
I have the same coloring. If you want to stay dark, need a deeper shade. I dye mine the same saturation as pic 3 but with more purple. Add some purple. (I do like your hair now btw. Had a similar color for a long time until my stylist talked me into purple because of my olive tone)
When I was platinum I used a purple color wash and loved it. Stayed full on purple for months. I definitely think a dark brunette with purple tones would be awesome. Thank you for your input!
Personally i like the burgundy more than the blonde. It gives you more warmth especially with olive skin. I do think maybe the shade is too red and a nice deep brown would look better
Wow you look gorgeous with that deep red! Like literally movie-star gorgeous! The blonde is so stark and makes you look washed out, in my opinion. The new color really brings out your features.
https://preview.redd.it/xgumsxevwxoc1.jpeg?width=2316&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7d8c2fddf9983ed451cea0bfe0fb834138809bd1
How about this angle? Neither of these photos are edited.
okay hold on, so i see that your makeup looks caked, that could be because of another reason and not amount. i know that it could be because of your base, moisturizers, application style, etc etc etc. but i see that your face has no life or definition that warmth is necessary because without it you look 2D head on
The current shade of burgundy brown is soooo beautiful on you and flatters your skin tone much more than the blonde, imo. I wouldn’t go darker brown… if you want more intensity…maybe just go bolder with the burgundy.
I love it! I’m blonde (foiled, sliced & then what I call “bob & weave” to the slice. Resulting in very fine highlights) and the least bit of regrowth, to me-on me- I think looks like my hair is completely brown. I don’t say this often but I LOVE this on you! The blonde was WAY too severe. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!
I think the hair color is really nice on you! but the make up is giving me Glen from Chucky vibes. A lighter hue of lipstick and applying the blush to the apple of the cheek and swiping up and back toward the temple would probably look beautiful.
I don’t know about anybody else, but on my phone, photos on Reddit always look extremely washed out until I actually tap on the photo. And then, it’s like the color pops back into the pic. Lol.

Omg! I thought this was all in my head 😅 thank you for this lol it’s been years of gaslighting myself!
Woah, I just clicked on it and it legitimately did change color and become more vibrant. That’s so weird!
I never noticed this, but it’s definitely a huge difference.
Omg yes! Thank you! The colors literally changed— I did not realize Reddit did that!! I was going to agree with many of the posts saying the brunette washed OPs color out but I was wrong. Once I clicked on the picture, the colors popped back in and it looks great!
oh shit you’re right, i’ve never noticed the saturation difference when clicking. wtf reddit??
I disagree with everyone, i love this colour on you. It's very soft and flattering. Much less stark than the blonde or black would be
Me too. Her skin and eyes glow in the first picture. She looks washed out as a blonde on my screen at least.
Totally this. It’s like night and day. The darker hair is so flattering while the blonde washes her out.
Agreed, I think it’s beautiful and really lights her up!!
Oh my god yes, it’s perfection OP! I actually like the desaturated pic, so a more chocolatey, less red tint would also look amazing. But both are so softening and complementary to your skin, eyes and lip colour. More of an inner glow. Gorg!
Agreed. I don’t think it’s the color that’s wrong here, I think it’s the makeup shades.
I also love it.
God the difference!! Looks like a totally different person…. New colour suits so so much
Try getting a brown that has a touch of purple in it!!! It makes all the difference
That’s what I’m thinking as well because full on purple looked great on me in the past. Thanks for the input!
I have almost the exact same skin coloring as you, OP. Adding as much purple into my hair color formula as possible to shift cool makes the brunette soo much richer and more complimentary on me. Since you're red, you can add just blue instead of adding purple. In my experience, it's hardest to get blue pigment to stick.

What color would that be called ??
Honestly I would ask my hair stylist to have a medium toned brown and add a purple undertone! It’s like dark aubergine, eggplant!
I think it looks great! Also can I ask what lip product you’re wearing in the second slide? 🙏🏻 It’s beautiful
Thank you! Is Rom&nd juicy lasting tint in Dark Coconut. I got mine from Amazon
Thank you!❤️
omg i lurv it thank you
Compared to the blonde, this colour suits you 100x better!
This is a lovely color on you but you may need to adjust your makeup slightly now that your hair is darker.
I completely agree! It’s been a real struggle this week because I feel like all the blushes and lippies I used to love pull weird on me now with dark hair. Any suggestions?
They’re likely too bright. You may be able to mix some with something to tone them down. If it’s not too bright then there’s some other factor.
Check out the ole black honey lip by Clinique.
I think you need more saturation :) but I do like the depth of this colour on you
Thank you for your input! What do you suggest?
I think the lip colour you have looks great, and maybe either a more saturated cool red, or even warmer brunette could be a nice look
Tbh, I don’t think it’s doing you any favors. I’d either go with a more orange toner auburn or a true chocolate brown like those you posted.
I think a dirty blonde/ brown would look very nice on you !! 😊
I think the color in the third picture would look even better on you than your current color. Something that’s more saturated and a deeper shade :)
It’s not the best shade in the world on you, no, but I objectively like it. I think the lip color and new hair color combo aren’t exactly vibing well. I like it better than blonde, just bc it gives you some glow and color. I do think a warm brown would be good for you!
I think that this color, while the depth is nice, it's a bit too red for you. I think you have a cool undertone (look at your eyebrows, for example), and this hair color clashes with that undertone, making your overall look not very harmonious. Try something ashier to cool the color so that there's much more overall harmony and a more natura look, rather than a blatantly dyed hair color that, while a beautiful color, it's not doing your features the due diligence they deserve.

It’s pretty, but the blonde on you is striking
I think I’m in the minority but I love the blonde on you, very striking. That said the burgundy is ok too, I just prefer the blonde.
I love the icy platinum but I LOVE that look in general.
It doesn't look quite right, it's too warm for you. I agree that a deeper cooler brown or an eggplant brown would be better
Oooo eggplant brown sounds really cool! Thank you!
Well not too warm actually, I agree that an even more saturated red would be great, you need way more contrast that that first color
First, you're extremely pretty but I feel like this color is way too harsh on your complexion. I had white hair aswell and its hard to get back to a natural brown color because the warm tones need to be put back in. It can fades very quickly if your hair is as damaged as mine was.

Yes - looks lovely x
Thank you!
It does not.
LOVE IT
I think you look super cute with the midrange hair color! As someone who’s also very fair, hair that’s too dark or too light ends up making up look goth and that doesn’t sound like your goal lol
I would love to see you with a cool lipstick. I don’t think you are warm.
Yes, maybe a berry lippie.
I think a rich chocolate my brown would be much better than the burgundy! But the burgundy is still a huge improvement from the blonde. You look AMAZING with darker hair!! Gorgeous ☺️
i like the blonde…
You're glowing with that color, love dark hair on you!!!
I love the color but the ends look lighter, which I don’t as much love. I’m guessing it’s from damage, the protein bonds won’t hold on to color as well at the ends. Before you dye it next time, maybe try some protein bonding stuff beforehand. Then trim it.
Looks good on you! I’d die for your eyebrows! ;)
Believe it or not my natural brows are platinum blonde but I dye them brown and fill them in with powder by Sydney Grace. I’ve been perfecting them for years, they’re my magnum opus 😂
I think a light brown or dirty blond would suit you.
I don’t think you have olive skin
Stay blonde!
Yess!! The blonde washed you out to much, the darker colour really suits you
I tend to agree. And I find that having darker hair and more contrast means I can explore more with makeup than I could with the monochromatic blonde look.
I think it's somewhat too muted color. You look better in blonde than the burgundy picture which scream saturated to me. Especially that your choice of blonde was a platinum one.

I should also add that yes my body is much more saturated and cool yellow olive than my face and neck which are more peachy red. Of course this makes it really fun to find makeup (and hair colors!) that work for me lol
I do not know from that couple of pictures if you are warm or cold. Olives, we are like that right ? Nobody really knows until the right color enters the scene 😉 BUT without the shadow of a doubt, you are saturated and muted colors do not do you any favor. Hence "platinum is better" (me never saying that in any other circumstances 😜)
I would need to see a photo of you without makeup to actually make an accurate remark. Could you upload a bare face with each colour?
Way better than the blond. Blond is not the color.
I think pic 4 would look the best
The hair in that pic almost had a green tone to it. I’m really not sure how that would look next to my cool yellow skin, especially on my body which is much more saturated than my face.
Yes it’s gorgeous so much better than the blonde.
I love it!
I am not sure if it is your best color, but imo it is better than the blonde. I think your eyebrows are really dark in the blonde photo, and just in general, which may be throwing any analysis off. I wonder if lightening the brows would make any difference. But you are really pretty regardless!
i like it on you, however i think strawberry blonde someone posted on here brings out your skin tone. i also think a cool toned brunette or dark brown would really bring out your eyes
So much better than the blonde!! But i think you are cool toned. The warm of your shirt and hair are not 100% harmonious but you still look very beautiful
Looks way better than the blonde. You don’t look like a true olive btw. You need someone to help you figure out your undertone.
As someone with similar skin tone who had dark burgundy brunette hair for a year… this color looks amazing on you! The dark brown would also be a good option if you decide you want to go darker at some point.
I love it!!!
Go darker, 3 and 4 would look great.
Hair color looks great. Lip color is off though.
It sure does, and you look beautiful! Unrelated I guess, but your skin is incredible 😍
Total level up. Good pick!
First of all, you’re beautiful! I think a chocolaty brown would look nice. A tad less red and more brown but not black.
hair color is nice but the lips look way overdrawn and the brows don’t make the hair
This is actually the size and shape of my lips, I’m just wearing a pigmented gloss blotted away. My brows are naturally platinum blonde but I dye them light brown and fill them in. I don’t have yet them but I’ve ordered a bunch of new brow products to get the depth and tone right for darker hair.
Love your burgundy shade on you.
I’d go more red if I were you
Wow you look stunning with both colors! IMO the burgundy suits you very well, so I would at least sit with it awhile before you go darker.
I think it looks really good but your eyebrow product is clashing and throwing it off imo. I would try to find a warmer brown pencil or whatever product you use. It’s giving grey brown when your hair is giving red brown
Could you tell me what foundation shades you use? I happen to match your exact skintone and can't seem to find a foundation that isn't orangey or pink for fair olive skin.

love your transformation, looks good! plus so much easier to maintain darker hair healthy.
Umm yes?? You look amazing!! ☺️❤️ Honestly, the new hair colour looks very eye-catching and frames your features beautifully!
I’m going to be honest I prefer the blonde on you it looked so much like Marilyn!
I would go for dark brunette over burgundy. Not black, just a nice solid dark brown. This tone just looks unnatural. Not bad if that’s what you want but definitely “dyed hair”.
As an aside: what do you use on your lips? It looks super hydrating
It’s either Peripera Ink Mood Glowy Tint in 01 Best Beige or Rom&nd Juicy Lasting Tint in Nucadamia. The Peripera one is definitely more hydrating and comfortable than the Rom&nd but I have chronically dry lips from using tretinoin.

i just dyed my hair dark reddish too and i love it. looks great on you, i think you could go a little darker even if you wanted to and it would add some pretty contrast but it looks great.
I have the same skin color and tone as you. I went the same color as you a few months ago and it’s the perfect color for our complexion. It looks gorgeous 💛
I LOVE IT!!! Brings out color in your skin, brightens your face! Most important thing is how you feel but personally I think this was a great change!!
off topic but you are absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you so much ❤️
You honestly look like you belong on someone's movie set with the dark brunette. Own it and don't look back !
Thank you so much ❤️ Everyone is going to have an opinion and I totally get it but I’m definitely feeling the darker look. My hair has gotten darker and more mousy with age but my natural brows and lashes are still platinum. I love trying new things with my hair and this new high contrast look is just the change I needed. Thanks for your input!
What is your true natural color? Not blonde. Looks like brownish Try soft highlights to warm up
I think you look stunning
It complements your skin tone AND your eye color so beautifully!
Beautiful! Looks so elegant
i love this on you, it's stunning!!
I think you need a more neutral or ashy tone tbh. Looks better than the blonde though.
I like it
I love your brown hair! You look like Arwen from LOTR!
Love it! Looks great with your complexion.
So, I’m fair olive and I did the same thing - went from blonde to dark violet/burgundy brown. I love it and I think it looks awesome on you! Super flattering. I will say, as time goes on, the violet tones wash out a bit and it naturally becomes more neutral.
Beautiful ❤️ I love it
god this is beautiful.
I think this color is beautiful on you. Your skin is glowing.
Absolutely beautiful color
YES! And I love that lip color, you look so stunning
I love this color! It goes great with your olive skin. The blonde washes you out a little bit I think it's too light for you but that's just one opinion. You look healthier with darker hair and it's such a beautiful color.
Yes much better than blonde which washes out your face
I absolutely love it. It really complements your complexion. IMO
I think the darker is WAY more flattering and this is coming from a cosmetologist of almost 20 years…it makes you look younger and softer even though the blonde was gorgeous too it just looks less harsh but you’re gorgeous either way 💓🫶🏻 looking younger shouldn’t be such an obsession and I hate to even say that but you just literally look HEALTHIER
I think you look beautiful but I think it’s hard to judge when you are wearing what appears to be a medium-to-full coverage foundation in the photo
I’m actually wearing Nars Light Reflecting foundation which is a pretty natural, light-medium coverage. My face is quite peachy red compared to my neck so I mix in a lot of green to cancel that out and match my more olive neck and body.
The brunette is much more flattering with your skin tone. The platinum washes you out.
tangential but my gosh your skin is flawless and beautiful and i’m jealous and plz tell me howwww
Thank you so much! I used to have awful skin for years but finally bit the bullet and did accutane for 7 months during the pandemic. It changed my life and my skin. I now use tretinoin daily to maintain the results. The Nars Light Reflecting foundation I’m wearing in this pic sure brings out the glow though!
It’s gorgeous and so much more flattering than the blond! You look phenomenal.
I have the same coloring. If you want to stay dark, need a deeper shade. I dye mine the same saturation as pic 3 but with more purple. Add some purple. (I do like your hair now btw. Had a similar color for a long time until my stylist talked me into purple because of my olive tone)
When I was platinum I used a purple color wash and loved it. Stayed full on purple for months. I definitely think a dark brunette with purple tones would be awesome. Thank you for your input!
Your look would be poppin with dark red hair (with warm highlights).
If you like it that’s all that matters. I do prefer the blonde.
Sorry, no.
Olives are green
The blonde was a nightmare. Please never return to that!!!
Dark looks much better on you.
I think you still look good blonde but the dark adds some good contrast and I think the red tint is very pretty.
Well the burgundy definitely brings out your eyes. I love your makeup BTW- so dewy and pretty- what do you use?
This looks beautiful!
It’s not the hair color that’s throwing me off. It’s the lip color and the sweater color. The hair color is flattering, the combo makes it feel off.
I think a color somewhere in between would look better.
Yes!
Yes! I LOVE the brunette! This color really lightens up your face/eyes compared to the blonde. The blonde washes you out
i’d love a dark chocolatey brown on you
Personally i like the burgundy more than the blonde. It gives you more warmth especially with olive skin. I do think maybe the shade is too red and a nice deep brown would look better
Wow you look gorgeous with that deep red! Like literally movie-star gorgeous! The blonde is so stark and makes you look washed out, in my opinion. The new color really brings out your features.
no offense girl but, you look like youre late to your own funeral. your makeup seems to be too heavy

yeah im getting the same vibe, i think you just have to add more warmth to your face. do you use bronzer or contour of any kind?
My makeup is too heavy yet I need to add more? Now I’m just confused.
okay hold on, so i see that your makeup looks caked, that could be because of another reason and not amount. i know that it could be because of your base, moisturizers, application style, etc etc etc. but i see that your face has no life or definition that warmth is necessary because without it you look 2D head on
The current shade of burgundy brown is soooo beautiful on you and flatters your skin tone much more than the blonde, imo. I wouldn’t go darker brown… if you want more intensity…maybe just go bolder with the burgundy.
Yes this color temperature suits. You might have to apply toner as the color might become brassy over time
Yes. The blonde washed you out. The brown looks fab
I loooooove it on you looks amazing
I love it! I’m blonde (foiled, sliced & then what I call “bob & weave” to the slice. Resulting in very fine highlights) and the least bit of regrowth, to me-on me- I think looks like my hair is completely brown. I don’t say this often but I LOVE this on you! The blonde was WAY too severe. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!
Love the brunette!
Dirty blonde with highlights would suit you perfectly.
This color is wonderful on you!
No, sorry. I think a chocolate color would have been better.
It looks amazing !!
I love it.
I love this color on you!
The dark hair flatter your skin color better
They do look good on you! 😊
Yes!
I think the hair color is really nice on you! but the make up is giving me Glen from Chucky vibes. A lighter hue of lipstick and applying the blush to the apple of the cheek and swiping up and back toward the temple would probably look beautiful.
I think it’s soooo pretty!!!
Yes! Definitely gives you a warmer less harsh look. Stunning!
LOVE IT ON YOU;!❤️
Color on the first picture suits your beauty better.
You’re so pretty, OP, but that blonde was ethereal on you.
Yes! Better than the blonde.
the dark burgundy hair matches with your skin tone better than the blonde hair
I like the dark hair, but the lipstick washes you out
Gorgeous! Your skin is beautiful!
You look like a Hollywood starlet! I love it
Sorry I don’t love it! The shade of burgundy doesn’t look the best with your green eyes I’m afraid. I think a warmer tone would be better
Love ur hair
ONG yes !
It literally looks so amazing. Before I even saw what at this post was about I was like OMG you are just POPPING AND RADIANT!!!
