When the eye color is light in shades of gray or blue "we should dye the hair in a dark red tone heading towards the range of browns" Sestelo clarifies. If your eyes are honey, hazel or green, there is nothing like choosing a lighter and warmer red, "peach cobbler or peach is perfect for softening the face, and even more so with a gradient without marked tint lines that goes from roots to ends with powdery orange tones with a natural effect", the expert recommends.
