" Shimmering highlights and rich glosses are an easy way to tone down ruddiness or tune up your summer glow. &amp;quot;You can counteract whatever is unflattering in your skin tone with your hair color,&amp;quot; explains New York City&amp;#039;s Oscar Blandi Salon colorist Kyle White, who&amp;#039;s responsible for Mariah Carey and Uma Thurman&amp;#039;s head-turning highlights. &amp;quot;Just as you would avoid red sweaters if you have a lot of pink in your face, warm-toned hair will bring out a flush, while cool colors can minimize it. But if you have an ashy or olive complexion, cool shades will make you look more green. Warm, golden hues are more flattering.&amp;quot;   GOLD RUSH  According to White, hair should never be the same color as skin: &amp;quot;It completely washes you out. Platinum is a big trend this season, but if you&amp;#039;re super-pale, you&amp;#039;re going to look like an albino.&amp;quot; For a glowing complexion, Beverly Hills&amp;#039; Lukaro Salon colorist Rona O&amp;#039;Connor recommends apricot lowlights. &amp;quot;The warm tone brings out a natural blush in your cheeks,&amp;quot; says O&amp;#039;Connor, who maintains Blake Lively and Debra Messing&amp;#039;s enviable manes. However, if you overdid it on the self-tanner and your skin is looking a little too golden, she suggests using a violet toner or shampoo: &amp;quot;Violet neutralizes the yellow in blonde highlights so you&amp;#039;ll look less sallow.&amp;quot;  Eye-Catching  &amp;quot;Blonde looks most natural with blue or green eyes. The brighter your eye color, the lighter your hair can be.&amp;quot; \u2014Kyle White The Blondes: Jennifer Aniston, Uma Thurman, Drew Barrymore, Blake Lively. Try: KEN PAVES Self-Help Elasticity Color Infusion, $34.  BROWNIE POINTS  For your ideal brunette shade, White suggests looking at a childhood picture. &amp;quot;Nine times out of 10, that&amp;#039;s the color you should have. After you hit puberty, your hair starts to darken and lose its luster,&amp;quot; he says. And too-dark hair can look harsh and aging, especially if you&amp;#039;re over 35. &amp;quot;If you feel like you look tired and the fine lines are showing more than ever, soften your brunette by going one or two shades lighter around your face,&amp;quot; says O&amp;#039;Connor. Even if you don&amp;#039;t highlight your hair, she recommends getting a clear gloss treatment every two months: &amp;quot;Porous hair absorbs light and makes your skin look dull, but glosses and conditioners smooth the cuticle to reflect more light.&amp;quot;  True Colors  &amp;quot;Keep your brown from turning brassy by using blue shampoos [typically designed for blonde or white hair].&amp;quot; \u2014Rona O&amp;#039;Connor The Dark Side: Halle Berry, Sandra Bullock, Eva Mendes. Try: JOHN FRIEDA Brilliant Brunette Conditioner, $6.50.  RED VELVET  Brown-based coppery reds are most flattering on a yellow-based complexion, but O&amp;#039;Connor warns against adding too much warmth. &amp;quot;A golden copper can make you look sallow,&amp;quot; she says. And if your skin isn&amp;#039;t particularly ruddy, O&amp;#039;Connor advises choosing a cool-toned red, which will give cheeks a pretty flush. A natural carrot top who&amp;#039;s lost her luster? O&amp;#039;Connor suggests fixing this &amp;quot;dishwater red with a golden gloss. Even if your hair is a blue-red, the gold tones will make the color more vibrant.&amp;quot; If you don&amp;#039;t have time to go to the salon, a color-depositing shampoo can add instant shimmer.  Dry Idea  &amp;quot;The detergents in shampoo strip out color, and red is the largest hair color molecule, so it slips out the fastest. To slowdown fading, cleanse with a dry shampoo in between blowouts.&amp;quot; \u2014Kyle White Crimson Tide: Christina Hendricks, Amy Adams, Debra Messing, Julianne Moore.
