I have rather pale skin, with little color in cheeks, My eyes are light brown, and naturally I have brown color of my hair. I think this hair color makes me look even more pale. What do u think- what hair color looks the best with pale skin and brown eyes?

I think you should definitely need lighter hair color, definitely not darker …don’t go with black, because this is what makes pale skin PALE!
I think you need light brown hair color with some lighter highlights. Light brown should look natural, and will not differentiate much from your natural hair color or eyebrow color -it is nothing more artificial than to see a totally blond girl – dyed of course, with almost black eyebrows…

First thing you ought to do is determine your skin tone- determine whether your skin tone is warm or cold. Most often categorization goes like this: if your natural hair color is black, dark brown, medium ash or golden blond, then your skin has cool tones. Typical for all those hair colors is liitle color in cheek and pale skin, which is also your complaint.
Best hair colors for such type are red hair shades like cherry, burgundy, …
All natural red heads for example have pale skin with little color in cheeks… and it seems like no other color but their natural orange - red suits them best.
Some people also determine their skin type by comparing what suits them best- gold or silver jewelry. If you look better with silver, you are cold type, if gold, you are warm..
Hope this helps….
