Honey Brown
This blonde-brown is in perfect harmony with Mindy Kaling's complexion, and that's not by accident. "A fairer person or someone who doesn't wear a lot of makeup could get washed out by this shade," she says. To get this look, ask for gold and honey highlights blended over a natural medium brown.
Beachy Brown
A sandy brown color can work to soften angular features. If you're interested in a look similar to Wilde's, be sure your colorist blends those highlights. "If it's finely done, it grows out without any major demarcations or root lines," says Robinson. She also notes that someone with a layered, wispy cut should avoid going too light. "Otherwise, their ends will appear thin or see-through."
Espresso to Golden Brown
Here, Lea Michele's sunny, golden brown tips prevent her long, brown hair from looking drab or curtain-like. Subtle honey and caramel highlights also perk up her complexion. "The highlights are blended, not streaky, to make her hair look naturally sun-kissed," says Robinson, who recommends this treatment for pale to olive skin tones. "It adds color without overdoing it."
Caramel Brown
Golden highlights still flatter — and illuminate — Jessica Alba's complexion because her base is brown, with the lightest bits toward the mid-length and ends. To get Alba's color, ask for a light brown base and add highlights around the face out to the ends, gradually getting lighter toward the tips of the layers.
Spiced Cocoa
Chrissy Teigen has a no-nonsense brunette base — you can tell it's real by how it matches her lashes and brows — and rather than cover that all up, a few ultra-thin ribbons of a reddish, auburn brown hue add visual interest around her face, and break up the lush length. Do know: Color this subtle might get lost on shorter strands.
Chestnut Brown
"This is the color anyone could wear," says Robinson. This chestnut brown shade warms up Eiza Gonzalez's complexion and enhances her brown eyes. Robinson also adds that subtle, reddish highlights are the key to this look. "The red-golds add dimension, making your hair look richer and more chocolatey."
Medium Ash Brown
"These highlights are diffused on the ends and are hitting the points of her layers, which is nice because it shows off the shape of the haircut," says Robinson. Priyanka Chopra's color would work best on a medium-to-long-layered cut. "You would ask the colorist to work with your natural color, and just highlight the mid-length and ends, following the haircut." The ash-brown base is universally flattering, but to add warmth to cooler complexions, swap the sandy highlights for caramel.
Mahogany
If you're a brunette like Amal Clooney, ask your colorist to lift your hair at mid-length and the ends two or three shades lighter than your natural color, and to add a couple of chestnut-brown highlights here and there. "Because the color on this is not woven through, this could look like a grown-out single process on someone who doesn't always have their hair done," says Robinson.
Cool Brown
As you've seen in the preceding photos, there's nothing wrong with well-placed warm tones to enliven the right shades of brown. In this palette, though, Hailee Steinfeld leaned in the exact opposite direction, allowing an ashy, near-gray undertone to cool down her overall base. It's a particularly nice choice for those with pink or peach tones in their complexions.
Dark Ash Brown
"This is a pretty medium ash brown," says Robinson. When going dark, Robinson says that it's important to keep length — and height — in mind. "When you have long, dark hair and are tall in proportion to that, it looks elegant. But if you're petite, make sure it's not one length, because it will look overwhelming." Layering will add movement to your hair and stop it from hiding your face and body shape.
Smoky Brown
"Because this isn't the darkest brown or black, it could look good on almost anybody," says Robinson of Kerry Washington's shade. "It's not going to add color to your skin, but it's going to be a nice frame because it's a very natural, soft smoky brown." Robinson suggests this shade for dark, olive, or golden skin tones — it could wash out very pale skin. At the salon, ask for a semipermanent glossing with color a few shades darker than your natural tone and work from there.
Black
Kendall Jenner can pull off this deep shade because of the olive undertones in her complexion. If you're on the fair side, ask your colorist to start a couple shades lighter than the color you ultimately want, and gradually go darker. "I never suggest you go super dark at first. You could always put another shade on it afterward if you want to go more extreme," says Robinson.
