Marlee Matlin has lightened her hair through a series of lifting processes, resulting in an array of lighter browns and blondes. These lighter colors soften her facial lines and add warmth to her face. Normally, her hair is a medium dark brown.

Tip: If you're considering highlighting your hair and thinking about adding a bit of red, there are two things to consider. First, remember that most browns already have a base of red, so when the highlights begin to fade, you'll end up with a pretty caramel color. Try this color first before adding additional red.

Secondly, when you lift your hair a couple of shades lighter like Marlee, you'll naturally bring out more red tones. This can help you determine if red is the right choice for you. If the colors still aren't dynamic enough, go for it!

Marlee keeps her long layers styled smoothly, accentuating the angles along her face. Just a small part goes a long way in highlighting all the light and dark tones in her hair.

For makeup, Marlee wears light bronzer/blush, subtly darkened brows, light to medium eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, and a rosy coral lip color. Her black turtleneck enhances the stunning effect next to her hair, while the gray knitted top over the shirt neutralizes any tones that might be too brassy.
