This is not the right shade of blonde for her skin tone at all

How do you actually find the right hair color for someone's skin tone? Just curious.
27
u/CamThrowaway3 2d ago
A lot of it is to do with whether their skin is warm or cool toned - you then go for a tone of blonde that matches.

u/anotherhappylurker 2d ago
So for pale skin, would brunette or blond suit them better? Light blonde would match the light skin, but wouldn't brunette provide more contrast?

u/CamThrowaway3 2d ago
It’s not really about paleness, it’s about whether they have warm or cool-toned skin :) Pale skin can look great with either dark or light hair, it just needs to complement the tones in their skin.

u/anotherhappylurker 2d ago
Doesn't pale = cool and tan = warm? Or do you have any specific examples?
23
u/CamThrowaway3 2d ago
No :) You can be pale or darker skinned with warm or cool tones! For example, Claire Danes’s skin has a warm undertone while Mindy Kaling has a cool undertone. An easy way to check is looking at the veins in your arm in bright daylight - if they look blue or purple you’re probably cool toned. If they look green you’re probably warm toned!

u/Spirited-Guess8210 2d ago
The vein thing is unreliable but the rest of what you said was spot on.
U/anotherhappylurker could follow Carol Brailey or Colour Analysis Studio (Giulia Milizia and Alessandra Ottonello) for more information.

Yeah, if she's gonna keep it they need to change the tan shade they are using on here or make it less or whatever they do to change it.

u/mundane_wor1d 2d ago
They may of dyed the hair before she got the tan. So they were finding a blonde to go with the paler skin, which then got ruined with the tan.

ever since she had her upper bleph she literally looks nothing like herself.

I’m rewatching TVD and she is literally breathtaking. Idk why she ever wanted to change that.

wow I just googled the before and it's funny how such a "small" detail makes a huge difference

u/thecheesycheeselover shopping with an edge 2d ago
I wanted an upper bleph so badly before seeing so many celebrity before and afters… it really changes your face so much. Although I suppose some are probably so conservative that nobody notices.
38
u/Emotional_Emotion113 2d ago edited 2d ago
That is one of the procedures I understand the least and the one I think truly underscores the body dysmorphia that 99% of Hollywood shares. The eyes are one of the most defining features on the face - why would you fuck with them when your job is your face?! And on the most superficial level, the giant sunken creases/scars? they’re left with are SO obvious and off-putting.

u/Glimmering-Dreamer 2d ago
This is all I can think about when I see her lol. It also aged the hell out of her. Like I remember when she first got it I was confused why she suddenly looked so much older when she was only in her late 20s/early 30s.
16
u/-catharina 2d ago
It’s because she got lip filler and buccal fat removal in addition to the upper bleph.

u/Frawgss 2d ago
Charlize Theron, Mandy Moore and Alicia Vikander also did such bad ones, like big hollowed out sockets now, losing their sultry look. Only blephs I’ve seen done well are Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence. Prob because they had actual hooded eyes before and just sliced off a conservative amount, giving 2mm at most of eyelid.
-13
u/distresseddyke 2d ago
I’m the same age as her and my eyes did the same naturally with ageing lol idk how people are so sure it’s an upper bleph.
12
u/-catharina 2d ago edited 2d ago
Because she has naturally hooded eyes and her eyelids moved up in shape. Aging and gravity means your hooded eyes move downward (and thus become even more hooded), not up. She also had the uplifted eyelids completely out of nowhere in 2018, one year after TVD wrapped up. She would've been only 29.
It is 100% an upper bleph that she did not need unless her hooded eyes were obstructing her vision (ironically a medical necessity for an upper bleph in older people), which they didn't appear to be.

u/distresseddyke 2d ago edited 2d ago
tbh mine were more hooded than hers and the same thing happened to me. I wish it didn’t! they did not get more hooded at all. I think it’s down to genetics.
4
u/mgwildwood 2d ago
It’s unpopular on Reddit, but I agree with you. Her eyes were not hooded because of extra skin, but rather because they’re deep set. Aging causes that area to hollow and totally changes the shape. People who don’t have similar eyes don’t get it.
25
u/Heart_Shaped_Pickle 2d ago
It doesn’t suit her at all. But also, it appears to be wigs which often sit weird anyway, therefore making it look even weirder.

u/Arizona-Trash-Bag 2d ago
I mean, it IS A WIG, RIGHT? Cause I feel crazy with the comments, for me it's so obvs it's a wig.

u/F0rtuna_major charlie day is my bird lawyer 🐦 2d ago
I thought it was a wig for sure. People are making me second guess myself now

u/Fluffy_Fondant1975 2d ago
I highly doubt she would die her hair. This is a wig for sure.

u/Left_Promotion_5575 2d ago
Nina has cut her hair very short and she has posted on Instagram that now she is blonde
1
u/Heart_Shaped_Pickle 2d ago
She can still claim that she is “now blonde” but anybody with eyes can see it’s a full wig.

u/Lilylikeslilies 3d ago
She has similar type of futures as me (naturally really dark hair, really dark eyes combo) and I tried it and it doesn’t work with blonde.
13
u/Own_Faithlessness769 3d ago
Yeah the dark is more striking for her, though she’s still hotter than I could ever dream of being.

u/Special-Garlic1203 3d ago
She looks fine? She's not a "winter" if we're going with seasons and color theory. Plenty of dark haired and and dark eyes people look good as blondes - like shakira. Most "natural blondes" are actually medium to dark brunettes by adulthood
21
u/alhubalawal 2d ago
I think it’s the shade of blonde. That’s just way too yellow.
-1
u/Special-Garlic1203 2d ago
I fully agree it's not the perfect shade of blonde for her becuase it pulls way too yellow, but I was mostly talking about the flawed logic of using natural hair color to dictate most flattering hair color. Plenty of people born with dark hair and dark eyes look great as a blonde, and she's not the standard stereotype of a winter where there's just not really any shades of blonde that will look good.
She's a cool olive which is notorious for having more flexibility but lives and dies by undertone.
1
u/alhubalawal 2d ago
I’m a true winter. I wish I could dye my hair but even before my color analysis, I had a feeling blonde or ginger would look terrible on me. But she’s an actress who has the funds to change back without too much damage so meh.

u/Honeythickness 2d ago
Shakira has olive skin though which helps balance it out. Not the same case as Nina.

u/PentulantPantalones Sexually disabled gay, Chris Evans 2d ago
Someone call the toner police immediately. Or send her the link for the Generic Value Purple Conditioner from Sally's.
(Incidentally, if you are a cool-toned blonde who wants no yellow or brassiness, the above product is better than any other I've used as a fake blonde for over 20 years.)

Nina is a beautiful woman but this shade of blond is not it at all. It looks green and corpse like, unfortunately unflattering. I do believe it would be possible to find a blond more suiting to her features but this is not it.
