I had to do this randomly or I never would have finally gotten the guts. I expected to look very goth because I am naturally very pale (I had white blonde hair growing up, now it’s medium blonde), but it actually gave my face some color. I went a warmish brown black, the darkest before black. A lot of people thought it was natural. Definitely be ready to either shell out cash for dye removal (even if at home, definitely get 2 boxes, you do NOT want to be spotty!!) or wait a looong time for the dye to wash/fade out.
