Bright new shades

If rediscovering the most natural “you” is less of a priority, why not garner some inspiration from a selection of this season’s must-have shades? According to celebrity colourist Jason Hogan of Josh Wood Colour, these are some of the most coveted hues to hit the hairdressing swatch book for summer…

Bronzed A rich, warm shade that’s perfect for fair complexions. To really embrace that auburn tint, try adding warmth to brows too. The new red shades of Benefit Cosmetics Goof Proof Brow Pencil, £21.50, tick the box. A few light strokes inside your natural brow area will emphasise your colour no end.

Honey beige blonde Light, innocent and youthful. It’s a move away from ashy blondes that can look dull and matte, and a step towards a glossy, golden glow. Invest in a shine spray to maximise that glimmer. oribe Shine Light Reflecting Spray, £37.

Bitter dark chocolate If your hair is on the black side of dark, try lightening sections just a couple of tones up to a cocoa shade of brunette. Keeping your highlights cool is key here. Invest in a blue or purple shampoo to stave off warmth. kérastase Blond Absolu Bain Ultra Violet Shampoo, £23.
