1. Jennifer Lopez’s Sandy Shade
This high-maintenance hue is sported by J Lo, an American actress and singer, and gives her the most beautiful golden appearance. It is a neutral sandy shade that has to be done by an expert and it requires touch-ups every three weeks to keep the color appear seamless. The amount of gold hue in the shade is very appropriately maintained as too much of it might give it a cheap appearance.
2. Katie Holmes’s Dark Mocha Hues

The richness of Mocha hue makes your skin look so perfect as that of porcelain dolls. Additionally, doing up a little more variations in the hue, like glossing it up, can bring more life to the color. You can go for darker shades and it relieves you of the pain of going often for touch-ups.
3. Eva Longoria’s Auburn Highlights
Eva Longoria’s auburn highlights makes a perfect bet for the olive or medium toned skin. It not only compliments such skin tones but if you have a tendency to look washed out with single-processed hair, then the auburn highlights will work wonders for you. Balanced against a warm, medium-brown base color, the auburn highlights help toning down the brassiness and maintain the rich auburn look.
4. Sofia Vergara’s Classic Brunette Shade
The classic brunette shade sported by the Colombian Actress, Sofia Vergara is just a lightened shade of her natural locks. The Latina Goddess says that its an easy look to carry off her style with. The shade can be tried with women with all types of skin tones and it is assured to give them a complementing look. You too can get the look by asking for warm, medium brown base with auburn highlights.
5. Beyonce’s Golden Highlights
None other than Beyonce makes golden look so beautiful yet hip as a hair color. If you have a honey complexion and dark hair just like her, then these golden or apricot highlights are surely going to suit you best. The secret to Beyonce’s fierce golden hair is that she always wears hair weaves or extensions which is good idea if you want to maintain your hair’s health after highlighting.
6. Anne Hathaway’s Rich Chocolate Tone
For a creamy complexion like Hathaway’s, the rich chocolate or chestnut tone brings out a beautifully natural appearance. Blended with a lot of warmer tones, the cool tones bring out the gold flecks in Hathaway’s eyes, thereby, complimenting them. The amber streaks look so realistic because they are darker at the roots and lighter in the ends. A skilled hand is required to get this shade over your hair. However, this trend will not work if you have a super pale skin, where you would need to go for lighter tones.
7. Kim Kardashian’s Copper Highlights
According to the colorist, Jet Rhys, a neutral brown base without any red undertones and delicate highlights in light copper make for a better shade when it comes to browns. Brown is anything but flat. Not chunky but delicate soft waves of copper highlights stand out as they have a minimum amount of red in them. It’s best to seek professional help while trying out the shades similar to what Kardashian’s been sporting. A professional colorist can neutralize the amount of red in brown shades so the copper shade gives subtle hints of glimmer avoiding brassy stripes.
8. Megan Fox’s Versatile color
The hair color sported by Megan Fox looks striking with light eyes and can be tried by women with all sorts of skin types ranging from creamy to olive. Rather than doing ribbons of highlights, Megan has tried an altogether different pattern to color only a slice of her hair with auburn highlights that remain in just one section of her hair. It’s edgy and works best on thicker and longer hair where you can choose to either expose or hide it behind your hair.
9. Katy Perry’s Extreme Monochrome
The bold and dramatic look of Katy’s hair color is an extreme version of monochrome. It’s got the dimension and it’s got the shine. The depth of this hue makes it a perfect combo for ivory skin tones and light eyes presenting a beautiful contrast. The luster comes from the blue-black tones of the hair color and if you want to replicate this hair color, you would need to ask for very dark brown color blended with black, like the expresso shade. The maintenance on the color is low but if you have naturally light hair, you would need frequent touch-ups, say 6 times a week, to keep up the look. Do not forget the precaution of applying vaseline along your hairline to avoid the dye sticking to your hairline.
10. Jennifer Hudson
Jennifer Huson wowed us at the Oscars with those chocolate brown works on her hair that complimented her dark skin tone. The ribbons of highlights and the maple accents woven throughout the length give your hair a soft and light look. The lighter the color is done, it adds to the beauty of this shade. As per colorist Jet Rhys, ‘less is more with this color’ , so you would need to lighten twenty percent of your hair by coloring only a few pieces surrounding you face.
