hair color ideas How to Pick L'Oréal Paris Féria Shades Based on Your Skin Tone

If you’re tempted to change your hair color but you’re afraid that using at-home hair dye won’t yield great results, you’re not alone. The bad news is, if you’re on a budget, going to the salon may not be an option. The good news is, L’Oréal Paris Féria permanent-hair color has tons of options that help you create gorgeous, dimensional looks right at home. 

This hair color line offers a multi-faceted shimmering color. It includes a range of shades from icy blondes to vibrant reds and more, so your options are far from limited. And if you need some help choosing your new color, we’re breaking down the shade offerings so you can find the most flattering hair colors for your skin tone. 

Remember that while hair color is a form of expression and you should go with whatever shade makes you feel beautiful, taking your skin tone into consideration when choosing your new hue can help. 

Editor’s note: When picking a hair color to flatter your skin tone, remember to consider your undertones. If your skin has warm undertones and you want something that will complement them, opt for a color with warm undertones. For a look with more contrast, choose a shade with the opposite undertones, in this case cool tones. Ultimately, there’s always some nuance across skin tones and you want to consider that when choosing your hair color. 

The Best Féria Shades for Deep and Dark Skin Tones

Blonde 

For a blonde color with a great balance between brightness and depth, check out the L’Oréal Paris Féria in Dark Gold Blonde. 

Red

A red shade with blue undertones will pop nicely against dark and deep complexions. We love the L’Oréal Paris Féria in Deep Burgundy Brown to get the look.

Brown 

Light, chocolate brown shades look stunning on dark skin tones because they pair beautifully with your complexion and create the perfect amount of contrast that isn’t harsh. Get the look with the L’Oréal Paris Féria in Light Brown. 

Black 

Your melanin-rich complexion can pull off the darkest of black hair colors for a sultry look. The L’Oréal Paris Féria in Bright Black is perfect for you.

The Best Féria Shades for Medium and Tan Skin Tones

Blonde 

Neutral blonde shades look beautiful on everyone, but when paired with medium and tan skin they create the perfect match. The L’Oréal Paris Féria in Very Light Natural Blonde subtly illuminates medium skin in the most gorgeous way. 

Red

A rich, medium red hair color with copper undertones will complement your tan skin beautifully. Our favorite is the L’Oréal Paris Féria in Rich Auburn True Red.

Brown 

Medium brown shades with subtle golden undertones look gorgeous on medium and tan skin. Use the L’Oréal Paris Féria in Bronzed Brown to DIY at home.

Black 

A soft black color looks beautiful on tan skin without looking overly harsh like jet black can. L’Oréal Paris Féria in Cool Soft Black will be really flattering for you.

The Best Féria Shades for Fair and Light Skin Tones

Blonde 

Platinum blonde hair looks stunning on fair skin because it illuminates the complexion without enhancing reddish undertones that are common in fair skin. If you’re looking for an icy blonde color, the L’Oréal Paris Féria Platinum Bounce Bond Care Lightening System in Platinum Ice is for you. 

Red

Deep red hues create a gorgeous contrast against pale and light skin. Use the L’Oréal Paris Féria in Power Reds - Deep Auburn/Red Velvet for a bold look. 

Brown 

Ash tones look stunning on light skin and the L’Oréal Paris Féria in Cool Medium Brown is the perfect pick. The ashy hue and medium depth of this brown color will be incredibly flattering for you. 

Black

Try a black shade that has blue or red undertones. These undertones will soften the color and keep it from looking too harsh against your skin tone. Try the L’Oréal Paris Féria in Downtown Denim or the L’Oréal Paris Féria in Violet Soft Black.
