Colours to avoid
Also go easy on shades too close to your auburn hair, which can flatten your natural contrast.
Your contrast
You have high contrast — a big difference between your hair and skin — so bold, defined makeup (a strong lip, a crisp winged liner) and high-contrast outfits look striking on you. Very soft, washed-out looks can disappear.
Working with auburn hair
Auburn is warm and medium-deep — rich autumnal colours flatter it, and warm bronze or copper makeup echoes the hair beautifully.
