There are a range of shades of rose gold from a deeper dusty pink to a less intense pastel. The different hues can also take on different tones. To allow the warm golden tone to shine, complement it with auburn or even copper.

#2: Copper and Dusty Rose Balayage

Metallic shades are gaining popularity and pair perfectly with rose gold. Use some copper lowlights and set them with some pops of dusty rose. Layers will help enhance the color pairing.

#3: Face-Framing Pink Highlights

One way to really draw attention to your favorite facial features is to concentrate your coloring in the front. Incorporate the same tones throughout for consistency, but use a heavier hand on the shorter layers around your face. Work with your stylist to find a shade that best suits your skin tone.
