Generally speaking, darker hair and a light, warm skin work best together for honey balayage. Any eye color can be used with this formula. For those with warm undertones in their skin, all colors of honey will work well on them. The ideal skin tones for this kind of highlight are reddish, olive, peachy, and occasionally dark, deep skin tones, according to colorists. In addition to concealing gray hairs, golden balayage can be used to change from dark hair color to something lighter and more sophisticated.
