Blondes Should Play With Caramel Or Butterscotch Tones Blondes are also going a bit darker this fall, as lowlights and caramel tones help take your pre-existing color down a notch. "For blondes, lowlights in caramel and butterscotch shades help deepen up a look, and add dimension for the transition out of summer,"says L'Oreal Professionnel Artist, Johnny Ramirez.

Toning down your blonde has the added benefit of being more flattering and wearable, since extreme platinum shades tend to look harsh on certain skin tones. Ramirez advises that warmer skin tones should choose more neutral shades, while cooler tones should opt for butterscotch colors that enhance their eye color.

"If you have a warmer skin tone, a neutral cool brown shade with amber-gold highlights would best complement your complexion," adds Ramirez. "Warmer caramel and butterscotch colors work best for cooler skin tones and eye colors. Having this contrast in color combinations helps to highlight both your features, resulting in a look that isn't washed out or monochromatic."
