Naya Rivera debuted her newly blonde locks last night at the 2014 People's Choice Awards and I have to admit, I'm sort of digging it! The Glee star has been sporting dark hair practically since the beginning of her career, so it was shocking to see her go so much lighter. I was also surprised at how well it complimented her naturally tan complexion. Just goes to show that anyone could go blonde. It's all about finding the right shade for your skin tone!

After all these years of sporting raven-colored strands, I wonder what made Naya want to suddenly go blonde. Maybe the bride-to-be wanted to spice things up for her wedding? I'm not too sure, but that warm caramel shade looks great on her. Even though I must add, that the nude, white, and black colorblock dress she chose to pair it with last night wasn't the best choice. Nude and blonde equals totally washed out!
Thinking of going blonde? You totally can! But just remember to keep in mind that one shade doesn't fit all. It's all about finding that blonde color that works best for you. Check out a few of our other Latina celebs who have gone blonde and find out what shade works best for your skin tone!

Light
If your skin is light but your undertones are warm, try a golden or light blond shade, like Shakira’s. Go for a shade that’s going to lighten up your complexion, not wash it out. Stay away from shades that are blondish white, ash or reddish.
Olive skin
For olive skinned women like Jennifer Lopez, instead of going completely blonde try adding golden highlights against a light brown base. This will help illuminate and brighten your complexion as well as frame your face.
Olive skin
If you have olive skin you might also want to consider experiementing with the ombre trend. Sometimes going blonde has more to do with how dark your features are (think eyes, eyebrows, lashes) rather than your skin tone itself. Doing an ombre look that's medium/light brown at the roots and light blond at the ends creates balance. Ask your colorist to dye your base just two or three shades lighter than your natural color and have the ends dyed two or three shades lighter than your base so that it naturally blends.
Medium
If you have a medium/tan-ish complexion like Adrienne Bailon’s, you can go for a light blond shade. Just stay away from yellow-ish or reddish tones that can easily wash you out.
Tan
For tan/caramel skin tones like Dania Ramirez, go for golden blonde highlights but make sure to have your colorist also incorporate warmer tones that will complement your skin tone. I like how Dania’s color includes a mix of golden, caramel, and even honey brown shades. Now this is a look I’d definitely try!
Dark
Stick with darker blond or caramel shades if your skin tone is similar to Christina Milian’s. Light blond, white, platinum, and orange-y shades won’t look natural with your darker complexion.
