It doesn’t have to be autumn for you to want to inject somecinnamonspice into your look.
If you’re free to’t decide between red and brown hair, mahogany is the way to go.
It falls somewhere on the color spectrum between the two shades and is a subtle way to go red.

Bold Brown
Don’t be afraid to go for the bold.

Matrix brand ambassador George Papanikolas says that the amount of upkeep involved depends on your natural shade.

And of course, the matching mahogany brows are the cherry on top.
