    Which of these three colours do you prefer on me?

    I think you suit bright red the best which makes me think you just generally suit lighter hair, I reckon you'd really suit blonde too. Then again I am always biased for bright red hair haha.

    I have had it blonde but I don't think it was the right tone, too yellow. I do wanna try it again though

    Thanks for the input

    You suit it all 3 ways actually, but I like dark red the best. It's different but not in your face. As you said yourself, the bright red is an acquired taste and some people might not like it (I'm thinking specifically potential employers/ older, easily offended relatives!!) so the dark red is a compromise. It's still unusual and quirky but it's more toned down and easier to accept
    You'd probably suit any colour though, you have one of those faces that just looks awesome with any hairstyle!

    Thanks darl!
    Haha yeah, luckily I'm already in work. The HR manager mentioned to my boss that it may not be "appropriate" because I'm a manager (in an office), and my boss asked the MD whos exact words were "I don't give a ****, it's her hair" which amused me. And thank god, otherwise they'd have been paying for me to re-do it, as the dress code mentions nothing about hair!

    I went for dark red as I think you look prettier in that picture (eyebrows - which is not to say you're ugly in the other two), but the blonde/brown is still a nice colour as well. Have you thought of a dark brown?

    I prefer the brown, much more natural and probably easier to maintain

    haha it's naturally a dark brown. I've had it natural most to be honest, so I didn't even consider it!

    More to the point, you have overplucked and overdrawn your eyebrows in the 1st and third pictures respectively. Keep your eyebrows as in the dark-red pic where they look lovely. Probably makes more of a difference to your look than the hair-style.

    iv got that bright red colour at the moment and iv only had compliments, thought its probably cause im ginger and reallly pale i suit it, got to be honest your skin tone doesnt seem to suit red too well, but it looks alright.

    **** what other people think if you like it keep it!

    edit: oh and the pink lipstick, bad choice with that hair

    My eyebrows aren't any different in the dark red and red ones, I think it's the lighting and angle. I've been doing them exactly the same for months. I agree, they're awful in the brown one
