What do you think about Blondes with brown eyes?

Eyecolor and haircolor aren't genetically all that tied together...if my shady memories of college biology are still correct.

There are plenty of naturally occurring blondes out there with brown eyes. My best friend is a natural redhead with fair golden skin and very brown eyes (not black, but strongly honey brown). I've worn varying shades of dark blonde and red myself and my eyes are a dark sort of hazel, which look downright muddy grey from afar.

It's just a matter of finding the right shade of blonde for your skin tone. I'm sure a good colorist can find one that will look fabulous on you. :D

Exhibit A of blone-hair-brown-eyes hotness: Look at Gwen Stefani. Her eyes are practially black they're such a dark brown, but she manages to pull of white-platinum somehow...

So, what did you decide to do??

hey most of holywoods gals have brown eyes and blonde hair. i think you will look great. those people who told you other wise will wise up when they see you

I think u should definitely go 4 it b/c my friend has brown eyes, light skin, and blonde hair and it looks super cute!! Just try 2 go 4 a more honey blonde instead of like... platinum blonde. Hope everything works out 4 ya!!

Where I grew up lots of brown eyed girls dyed their hair blonde, so I'm just so used to seeing it I can't imagine it looking strange. You can probably pull off blonde, you just need to choose a shade that goes with your complexion. If you look best in yellows, go for a honey blonde or golden shade. If you don't look that great in yellows, go for a white platinum or an ash shade. Picking the wrong shade for your complexion is, in my opinion, why dyed hair sometimes looks "off" on a person.

You know, I see a lot of good-looking combinations out there that don't often occur in nature. I'm personally a huge fan of light hair and dark eyes. I think it'll take a wee bit of confidence, but don't do it just because of its rarity in nature. Ha ha, everyone told me not to dye my hair black because I have blue eyes and apparently only blonde or light brown would look "natural" on me, although I must confess it's now a color I really like--


I do agree with above poster^^^ go to the Try It On studio to get a better idea. The images aren't that great, in my experience, but it's worth a shot and will give you a good idea (and fair warning) about your possible haircolors.

Your hair color is great! Incidentally, I'm very similar to you in complexion, however, I have dark eyes. There are those who believe that natural blondes do not exist in nature with dark eyes. The dark eyes, to some, is a sure give away that the person is a bleach-blonde. The jury is out on that one. My colorist has told me on many occasions that I look best in warm browns and reds. Maybe I will try the Clairol try-it-on site, to get an idea what I would look like as a blonde. By the way, you are really a wealth of knowledge on this site, Juliana. I always enjoy reading your responses to the various posts! : )

Hello everyone! A few months ago, I decided to make a color change - I went from an auburn/red color (similar to Debra Messing's color) to a medium brown with golden blonde highlights. My natural color is dark brown. I love the way the streaks look in my hair, and being the color chameleon that I am, I'm now thinking about going all the way, and going blonde. I always get my coloring done professionally. My question is: Do you think blonde will look nice/natural on someone with very fair skin and brown eyes? I've spoken to a few friends of mine who seem to think that I'll look washed out with such light hair. They also feel it will look very artificial, due to the fact that my natural color is so dark and roots willl become apparent in no time at all. What shades of blonde do you think would be most flattering on someone with my coloring and eye color, if any? My hair is in fairly good condition, and is pretty long - to the middle of the back. One last question... Do you think the safest way to achieve blonde would be through doing an all-over heavy highlight (I already have some highlights), or to bleach/strip what I currently have and start from scratch with an all-over blonde color? Any thoughts and advice are very appreciated.
