Hello! I just dyed my hair blonde and I can't put my finger on it but something with the shade does not look right with my face tones.  I can't tell if the color is too light or too bright, but I feel like my face looks a bit washed out.  In some lights the color looks natural and in others it looks pretty badly! Attaching a picture.



If anyone would be able to suggest a better/natural looking shade for my facial tones, it would be really appreciated!  Pictures of the color would be even greater; thanks again!

I think that you should go lighter, I agree that it's not such a great blonde tone for your skintone.
 
I think you would look really great if you put in some (or a lot of) light blonde highlights and keep the base color :)

I agree with elumencolor that you should go lighter, either all over or with lots of highlights.

You are very pretty by the way.

I agree with elumecolor and Jojoswr that you should go lighter.  The rpoduct you can try is Clairol Nice N' Easy Ultra Light Natural Blonde shade Box87.  Or, you can try Loreal Preference Lightest Pale Blonde.  I hope that works for you.  Please let me know how it turns out?

Try adding ash blonde highlights to your current hair color - I believe the color is a bit brassy.  That's what I am currently experiencing with my hair and I was told to add ash blondes to it to tone it down.  You have cool skintones as well, so it would be good to calm down the warm shade a bit. :)

I agree with the others about your color and skin tone. Your hair's a bit on brassy side so get a lot of ash blonde highlights to break up the brass. You'll look great with pale blonde highlights or all over pale blonde color.
