Auburn is a versatile hair color making it flattering on nearly everyone. Of course, to find which shade of auburn will best suit you, consider your skin tone and eye color. In general, those with fairer skin will find lighter and/or brighter auburn flattering. On the other hand, if you have a darker skin tone, you might gravitate toward deeper reds. Medium skin tones have more flexibility and can go warmer or cooler with their auburn color.
