My hair is actually a shade of red at the moment, and I think it's the best colour I've ever had. I can't do any of the light ginger shades (not without stripping out a lot of colour) because my natural colour is medium brown, but I can pull off a nice auburn that looks natural and works with my fair skin. Anyway, for those of you who have some version of red hair: have you noticed that purple makeup looks especially good? I've been wearing a purple lipstick lately, and I thought I wouldn't be able to wear it anymore after getting my hair done auburn, but I was surprised to see that it works even better than before. Who'd have thought?
