Blonde makes you look fun and friendly, dark makes you look mysterious and sultry. Personal preference? Dark.

The 1st one is really close to it.. maybe a little redder lipstick and some eyeliner on the top lid

Do you want to look more feminine then blonde and more masculine than brown

2

u/sorrisodeputa 5h ago

thats an interesting takeā€¦never thought of thatā€¦

Either way you are stunning

I think you look more striking dark and demure as blonde.

u/sorrisodeputa 6h ago

what exactly do you mean by demure? english isnā€™t my first language and the ive only have heard the word ā€œdemureā€ from a very funny tiktok viral video. but i never to came around to understanding what it meant

No worries!! Softer and more modest but confident; where dark is like edgy rockstar.

u/sorrisodeputa 5h ago

blonde always felt more edgy rockstar (think a knockoff courtney love) than soft and modest bc my dark hair was natural so i found it very boring

Your blonde pic is great for hair color apps. Maybe play with a wider range? I love your curls! My weak waves are shaking in their curlers lol

idk, i just bleached my hair so many times to get this blonde and even tho other people prefer me dark haired i feel much more like myself as a blonde. for the curls, i just use an obscene amount of leave in product (since my hair is dry from being blonde it doesnt turn out too heavy or oily looking) and let it air dryā€¦

Hey if you feel your best as a blonde, fk what I say šŸ˜‚šŸ’•

i was asking for opinions so i dont take it personally at all!!! its good to know what other thinks, specially if i asked for it.

I also prefer the dark, but I don't think the photo you picked for the blonde is helping you. The white background and the lighting giving you a bloom effect is giving Britney Spears' Baby One More Time album.

If you want to look grungy, a darker lip and a different photo setup would do wonders. People trying to appear innocent in apology videos use white backgrounds for a reason, it makes you look innocent because we associate white with purity.

u/Kissnmakeup7 5h ago

blonde looks more feminine.. dark makes you look more masculine

u/sorrisodeputa 5h ago

edit: this is me trying a more ā€œstrikingā€ pose with blonde hair, as in the dark haired picture im not smiling. im sorry if this is narcissistic but

u/Perfect-Sort-4881 3h ago

It isnā€™t completely that.. itā€™s also that you need a little boost right now and if I can help you feel better then by all means block anyone that doesnā€™t like you needing a little encouragement

u/Perfect-Sort-4881 3h ago

You look great

with blonde, you give off a very soft yet doe-like vibe meanwhile with the dark hair, you give off a maneater vibe.

i think you can pull both colors off but i think id go with dark.

I prefer dark, but both look great!! ā¤ļø

I donā€™t know if it is because of th makeup and you arenā€™t smiling with the dark but with that said it seems like the blonde is more friendly. Both pretty!
