Hi :)
I've been hennaing my hair for two years but until now, I hadn't thought about if it suited my skin and eyes and etc. I know I can't remove it, but at least I'd like to know if it doesn't suit me so I can consider my options.
Care to give some opinions? :)

henna on a cloudy day

henna in diffused daylight--mind you that this lighter orangish streak in the middle of bangs was *slightly* bleached with hydrogen peroxide 3%. now it looks a lot redder because of henna buildup.

Your skin and eye color actually make henna look very natural on you.

I agree, it looks very natural. I'm a big fan of red hair and light skin. :) And it makes your skin seem extra creamy, not to mention it makes your eyes pop! Gorgeous!!!

I agree with GoddesJourney and Ravenne: it suits your skin and your eye color perfectly!

Agreed, the red looks gorgeous on you. You're so lucky to have a lovely skin tone to pull it off!

The red looks perfect with your skin tone and eyes! I wouldn't change anything.

I think that your hair colour suits your skin colouring and eyes to a tee. Lovely. :blossom:

It fits your coloring perfectly, IMHO.

May I ask what you use to fill in your eyebrows? Or is it a natural color?

It suits you so well!! Reminds me of Rose from Titanic!

I think (like everyone else has said) that the henna color suits your coloring beautifully! Gorgeous!

:wink: Since you never thought to wonder if it looked right on you, you shouldn't have worried! Generally you'll start to wonder almost immediately if it's not quite right... :wink:

I think the henna color you've got now looks lovely on you!

I can imagine, though, that if it got too dark it might be overpowering to your delicate coloring- so at some point you might look into doing roots-only applications so the length doesn't get too dark. Maybe you're already doing that, but I just thought I'd mention it. Very pretty!

It looks entirely natural. I wouldn't have guessed it was henna had you not told me.

I agree with everyone else. Suits you very much :)

Oh that's so true! Speaking as one who has had every colour from pale blonde, light and dark auburn, various shades of brown from ash, reddish, and dark brown - if it's not quite right you just keep.looking.at.it. and trying to convince yourself. :)

The hennaed colour really suits your eye colour and skin tone. Your eyebrows are a good match too.

Ditto what everyone else has said! You pull off that color perfectly, and whatever you've done to make your eyebrows match makes it look very natural. Don't change a thing, the color makes your skin and eyes look amazing! :)
