Is it just us or is anyone else dying to try red hair? Rich, vibrant and flattering to the face, it’s no wonder the fashion industry has fallen in love with this mesmerising shade of the moment. Splashed across magazine covers, advertising campaigns and epitomised by uber models Natalie Westling and Madison Stubbington, what we love most about the new red is how unapologetically ‘coloured’ it looks.
Combining mouthwatering tones of burnt orange, copper, Tahitian red and mahogany, the aim is to create a hit of colour that perfectly suits your skin tone. Word to the wise, it’s highly unlikely than one solo shade will do this alone. Paler Karen Elson types can go a bold shade of carrot, while those with a warmer skin tone will pull off a fiery, cherry tone with ease. Dark skin glows with all tones of red but looks particularly striking against richer, deep shades of red.
Need more reasons to go red? Recently, actress Amy Adams admitted she hit the bottle in order to boost her career in Hollywood (Who knew she wasn’t a natural redhead!!) and you only have to look at the Thorne sisters, Bella and Dani, to see how damn good it looks on Instagram. Our personal inspiration is the NY based fashion editor Taylor Tomasi Hill whose trademark red hair is always on point.
