Hey all,

I'm considering trying dermmatch.

I have blond to light brown hair, which colour would you recommend?

I know it seems like a simple question, go with the light brown right? However, when I did a quick search, I seen Bill used the light brown, now Bill's hair is a lot darker then mine, to be honest his hair would look black next to mine.

On the Dermmatch website the blond colour looks way to light and the light brown too dark, do people usually go a few shades lighter then their hair - when selecting a colour?

Also on their website - the photos look impressive, however, have you noiced everyone of them have dark to black hair? How well does this stuff work with those who have fair skin and light hair?

Probably light brown. I use it. The light brown does have a slight reddish tint though.

I didn't like it too much, mainly because of the red tint aaron speaks of. It didn't look natural on me. I'm going to try some nanogen.

Thanks guys, I'm not sure what to do now lol, I got out of bed thismorning ready to order dermmatch, damn.

Dewayne, I have Nanogen (not worn it out-doors yet), the light brown is pretty much a perfect colour match for me. I just wanted to try something else, maybe with a bit more control.

I'm a new user of Dermmatch....and shocked at how it really works..yes, slight red tint, but it doesn't seem to matter for me.
I want to get some for a friend, but we also could not decide between the blonde and light brown for her. I think it'll be light brown, I'll let you know how it goes. good luck with your choice, Maxxy!
