It dries on me as a true taupe color, but it is more of a medium intensity in color than light. (I have very sparse eyebrows & fair to medium skin tone.) However if you're not heavy-handed with it, you can control the color intensity. Let the first application dry & check the color before applying more. I heard the red & orange tales also but I think it's a matter of body chemistry reaction with the color on an individual basis. It won't be the same on everyone. It does dry fairly smudge proof & the pen is easy to use with a little practice. Hope that helps!

Definitely no red, but I would say it is a warm tone. I have eyebrows so it's going to look slightly different, as my eyebrow hair will affect the colour, but I do find the color to be more traditional taupe (matching your description above). Sorry I don't have a definite answer.

I don't notice any red tone. It is a light brown. I have blond and gray hair and the taupe looks quite natural with it.

I would say it is a definite taupe color... not white, but definitely not a "tan" color. Tan is pretty ugly!

Blond or taupe, though you need a light touch for either. You can see/test them at Sephora.

I have olive tones to my completion and have not seen any redness after the initial use. It's like plucking eyebrows. You get used to it and your skin gets used to it.

I can't imagine either shade producing an orange effect. It's only tinted so the color is barely visible. I use the natural and I have an olive skin tone, it blends perfectly, and feels great on my skin.

This is going to give you pretty darn red hair. Like BRIGHT red. If you are looking for a hint of red I would try a different color or try to tone it down a lot by mixing half of a dark brown box with half of a red box. I'm not sure if the manufacturer would recommend that but if I was going to experiment on myself that is what I would do. If you Google Light Mountain Henna Red and look at the images you'll be able to see other people's outcomes, many look the same as my own color. I use this brand/shade every other month. I'll never stray!

...Good morning, Mary, how are you doing today? I would like to answer your question well, but I really don't know about that, because I have never used any red color mix for my hair...maybe you can mix some red with the dark blonde and you would obtain some red shadow...at least you can try it for the first time and see what happens...I think it would be a nice option for your...sincerely, Nidia.

No, it doesn't turn me orange, and is quite a natural looking medium honey shade. (I have the natural bronzer one) it does have some shimmer, but I'd describe it as more of a "glow"...? I love it.

It is supposed to be one colour. A kind of taupe brown that is shadowy enough to use on all skin tones and hair colours. I have a similiar marking on mine. I think it's just the batch number.

My hair is too dark brown with a reddish tint. I use dark brown. He does not have a reddish tinge, it is cold brown. I use it quite a bit

Hi Kat,This product can be easily layered within taupe ranges. I think it would be best suited for fair medium skin tones if applied well. When I did research on the product before buying it, reviews seemed different across the board. Some buyers said it made their skin look dirty or greyed out, and some said it layered well enough to work on them. Sorry I'm not much help.

I would say either the blonde or taupe at the darkest. It should give you the definition that you want without being too dark against your complexion. The good thing about this product is you can build it up to the intensity you want. I hope that helps.

My color was matched at a local salon years ago. So that is how I know my color. You very need to do that first then order online. I have an olive tone. Some dermatologist sell it as well.

I just got my wig today, and it is gorgeous! However, mine is not the color shown on their picture! Mine is a definite light to med red.. ..It IS a very pretty color, not fake looking, at all.. and nice and matte, with just a slight shine,like real hair..I really wanted the light brown one, but that's ok.. And,i did order mine from X and Y Angel, to make sure i didn't get something substandard... Yes,theirs is more expensive, but,I believe it's worth it, to pay $20.00, including the 5.00 shipping... And ,also, they said it would take 7-10 days, and it actually took 19 days.. But they were so nice when i contacted them.. and apologized.. I just got my wig today, and it is gorgeous!

Well honestly I will go with a dark brown color because these bangs are not what they seem. I ordered a light brown color and it turned out to be a reddish color. But just go with the black, maybe it will work for you. When the bangs didn't work out for me they allowed me to return it without a problem. I'm sure they'll work with you.

The product I have is not really blonde, but a light brown, however, I am a light blonde and it looks better than many of the other products that are designated blonde. It is not orange and it is not too light , it is more of a medium taupe. I really like this product. It looks natural.

I believe the brown/dark brown color would give you a bold, dramatic eyebrow. The nice thing about this palette is that there is one dark brown & one medium brown if you find the other too dark.
