ALMA, 25: TEACHER
Medium Skin ToneDo you dream about gorgeous blonde hair but you are concerned about how it will complement your skin tone? We made this blonde dream a glamorous reality for Alma by going through her Colour Chart and establishing exactly which shade complemented her Medium skin tone. We celebrated the beauty of this shade and took style inspiration from the likes of Catherine Deneuve, Meryl Streep and Marilyn Monroe.
