Rich, eye-catching hair color can make hair look healthier and enhance a new cut. (Before you color, deep condition dry, damaged hair the day before to protect it.) Rona works with the color that's most prominent in Rachel's strawberry-blondish strands -- red. Sticking with a tone that already appears in your hair will make your new color more low maintenance. To achieve a soft yet rich result, Rona adds honey-red to Rachel's hair then breaks up the color by painting on flecks of bright yellow-gold. Find out how to enhance your natural hair color here.
Nothing warms up the face more than a friendly smile and a pop of color on your cheeks. Blend a pink, luminescent cream blush (like Stila Convertible Color, $20) onto the apples.
