  2. If you don't have brown hair, then look at another article for your hair type. Don't change your hair color just for this purpose, it'll change your whole image and you may look fake and a lot different then what you probably look like originally. Stick to your true colors, don't fall victim to peer pressure.
  3. Take into consideration your skin tone. If you are a brunette with pale skin, then avoid the darker colors; they will flush out your skin tone.
    • If you are a brunette with medium-tan skin, then you're pretty much safe to wear any color. Try rich, deep shades of purples and browns to enhance your skin tone and give you a little glow.
    • If you are a brunette with dark skin, then you're lucky! You can wear practically any color you want! Just try to avoid black and try the different pastels to give your color a glow... you'll be impressed with your results!
    • If you're a brunette with freckles, avoid all reds and pinks, if possible. Try yellows and tans!
  4. Keep in mind that makeup is always important. A brunette keeps it natural, though. Wear a neutral cream eyeshadow and tan-brown cream eyeliner, and natural-looking brownish-black mascara. Wear a blush one-two shades darker than your skin tone, and avoid pure pink. For blush, tawny tannish-pinks are best. Wear a foundation to match your exact skin tone. If you want an extra glow, lightly sweep bronzer all over your face.
  5. Hair is very important! Keep it healthy. Use a shampoo like John Frieda shampoo and conditioner made especially for brunettes. It will give you major high-gloss, and a healthy shine/sheen. Before straightening, don't forgot to use heat protection!

Tips

  • Here's a makeup secret: If you have a warm skin tone (which is a gold undertone) wear cool colors. Being matchy-matchy isn't the trick to beauty. This will give you a beautiful glow. If you have a cool skin tone (pink undertone) wear warm colors. This will give you a beautiful glow also!

Warnings

  • If you're not a natural brunette, think before dying your hair. If you're a blonde or if you have red or black hair, you have perfect colors for you and a perfect attitude to match.
