Pro Tips to Match Hair & Makeup with Your Season

• Stick to your undertone. Warm-toned people look best in golden hues, while cool-toned shine in icy or ash shades.

• Don't mix seasons. A winter trying to pull off warm copper hair may end up looking tired or washed out.

• Test before committing. Use swatches, try-ons, and light makeup tests before hair dye or buying a full product.

Why It Matters

Wearing colours that harmonize with your natural features helps:

• Brighten your complexion

• Make your eyes pop

• Bring a youthful glow

• Avoid looking washed out or overly dramatic
