How do I find the right shade of red for my changing skin tone?
As we mature, our skin tone can lose melanin or develop subtle redness, meaning the bright, fire-engine red that worked in your twenties might now clash with your complexion. The golden rule is to evaluate your natural undertones: if your veins look slightly greenish and gold jewelry illuminates your skin, opt for warm copper, terracotta, ginger, and amber tones.
If your veins appear deep blue or purple and silver jewelry looks best on you, lean toward cool-toned reds like black cherry, garnet, and rich burgundy. When in doubt, ask your colorist for a “spiced auburn,” which blends warm golden-orange with cool chestnut-brown to reflect light cleanly without pulling harsh or brassy.
