Dark Skin Tones
Adrian Wallace, colorist at Rita Hazan, encourages darker skin tones to play around with metallic tones of red, purple and orange this summer. However, to keep your overall result looking natural, he recommends keeping a darker base to help add some beautiful contrast to your look.

Richards also suggests that darker tones can try out gorgeous gold and copper highlights, however, it's wise to keep them subtle through foil highlights or balayage.

Neutral Tones
Unlike other skin tones, Papanikolas says that neutral skin tones tend to have the most luck in selecting the metallic shade of their choosing considering they have a universally flattering tone.

"People with a neutral skin tone can go either direction and have the most options with the metallic shades," he says.
