Brown hair looks particularly stunning when paired with light blue eyes because the combination of brown and blue creates a strikingly gorgeous contrast. Miranda’s light chestnut brown hair is only a few shades darker than her tanned skin, but it is dark enough to enhance and emphasize her tan rather than blending into her tan. Miranda’s hair does not contain obvious highlights or lowlights, but she actually has subtle variations in color that help to create this dynamic look. The slightly lighter chestnut highlights combined with slightly darker brown lowlights make her hair look shiny and full of depth which contributes to an overall look of healthy and luminosity.
