Deep/DarkPeople with deep skin tones usually have darker skin with dark brown eyes. If you have a look at your veins, people with deep skin tones have a purpleish tint to them. You can pull off intense makeup colours, like plum, red and deep burgundy lipsticks.
If you have a deep skin tone the best way to go with your hair is to create a contrast. So either darker or lighter than your skin. Very deep tones of black look super striking next to dark skin with a cooler undertone like Lupita Nyong. If you have a warmer undertone like Rihanna, then opt for caramel or mahogany tones that are rich and warm to enhance your complexion. To maintain dark colour you need to make sure you are using products that are free from sulphates as they can strip the hair of its natural oils and make it dry, try the Sexy Hair Smooth Sulphate Free Anti Frizz Shampoo and Conditioner.

Look for one that is for colour treated hair and super hydrating, we love the Macadamia Deep Repair Masque.
People with cool undertones usually have blue, grey or very dark brown eyes. Blue toned lipsticks are more flattering on you than warmer, richer colours. The veins on your wrist have a blue tint to them.
