A Tribute to Beautiful Brunettes

I LOVE being a brunette!!!  When I was in university I played around with the idea of becoming a blond - all I can say is that never has a haircolour looked so horrible on a person, as blond did on me!!!  I have no idea what I was thinking!!!  I used to be very experimental with makeup and haircolour, which I'm actually grateful for because now I know what I like and what works for me.  I've dyed my hair every colour from blond to black to plum to copper and have had highlights galore!  I've now learned to stick with what works for me and what brings out my own personal healthy glow.  The best thing about being a brunette is that there are so many wonderful tones of brunette - everything from chestnut to espresso to amber brown.  My favourite shade of brunette is one that is very rich-toned, almost with a burgundy-chestnut cast to it.   Here is my tribute to beautiful brunettes: 1) MOI: 2) Audrey Tautou Not only is Audrey Tautou French and fabulous, she also did a fantastic job in portraying Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel in the foreign film 'Coco Avant Chanel'.  I love Audrey's dark brown, espresso like brunette hair: 3) Elizabeth Taylor: I have always loved Elizabeth Taylor's 'Snow White' look - her brunette hair is the darkest of browns, almost verging on black: 4) Catherine Zeta Jones: I love Catherine - to me, she has that old Hollywood sophistication - while a lot of celebrities seek out trends and whats 'in' at the moment, Catherine has always been true to her classic style.  She has also played around with caramel and lighter highlights, but always returns to her best shade - a dark and rich brunette: 5) Audrey Hepburn: What other woman exudes an aura of class and elegance other than Audrey Hepburn?  She is the epitome of class - in the same sphere as Grace Kelly and Jackie O in my opinion.  I think the reason so many people love Audrey is that she is both sophisticated and somewhat the girl next door!  I love her brunette shade - a real espresso rich brown: 6) Jackie Onassis Kennedy: I love Jackie's brunette hair in this photo - it verges between a medium and dark brown and has such a warm glow about it.  7) Amanda Peet: There is something about Amanda Peet that I love so much - she has such a classy flair about her and she is never afraid to be herself.  Her makeup is always beautiful - she has described herself as trying to acheive that 'less is more look'.  Amanda Peet seems so genuine and girl next door. I loved her in the movie 'Somethings Gotta Give" - her look was so simple yet elegant.  Amanda has a beautiful brunette mane -she often adds warm highlights and is able to achieve that warm amber glow: 8) Cameron Diaz: I made an exception for Cameron in this category, as she is naturally a blond.  Not everyone liked Cameron's change to a deep, dark brunette, but I 'LOVED' it - I thought that she looked so striking and sultry: 9) Sandra Bullock: Sandra Bullock is the queen of the 'girl next door' look! I love each and every romantic comedy she has ever starred in - but my all time favourite has to be "While you were sleeping".  I'm so glad that Sandra won an oscar for "The Blind Side" - her acting was amazing!!! I love Sandra's Caramel/Lighter brown highlights in this photo: 10) Charlotte Casiraghi Charlotte is the grand-daughter of the late Grace Kelly.  She seems to have inherited her grandmothers grace, sophstication and charm.  I love Charlotte's brunette colour, as its a very natural and fresh brunette:
