Brunette hair color can look spectacular on mature women. I’ve selected what I consider to be five of the most beautiful brunette’s. I’m not talking about dark haired brunettes like Cleopatra. I am talking about a medium brown shade of hair color. Medium brown can actually be a very enhancing shade of hair color for older women. At left is what I consider to be the most gorgeous medium brown brunette women of all time – Candy Loving. Candy Loving was born in 1956 and became famous for being Playboy’s Playmate of the Month in January 1979 and then she also become Playboy’s 25th Anniversary Playmate. Her centerfold was shot by photographer Dwight Hooker. Candy Loving narrowly beat out Dorothy Stratten for the title. Dorothy Stratten some might recall was murdered by her husband Paul Snider after she had an affair with director Peter Bogdanovich. Candy Loving is the ultimate medium brunette. While many woman have never heard of her, Candy Loving has repeatedly been on the top ten list of the most beautiful Playboy centerfolds of all time.
Brunette Hair Color with strong but Natural Makeup
I absolutely love everything about this look that she is sporting. This image of Candy Loving has to be over thirty years old and it is completely timeless. I love everything about it for mature women – the hair length, the hair style, and the makeup colors. Everything about this look you see would look fantastic on an older women. I love the hair. Notice it looks rich and luxurious with tons of texture and body. I like the feathered look it adds volume to the face and has sex appeal. Her hair looks long but it’s really not much past the shoulders. This is perfect for an older woman who may not want her hair too long.
I adore Candy Loving’s makeup. She clearly has makeup on in the picture. It’s strong, but totally natural looking which is exactly the “strong but natural makeup” I suggest for older women in my blog posts over and over. I love her eyebrows. They are strong but not overwhelming, they frame her face perfect. I love her eyes – she has brown shadow and dark brown eyeliner towards the outer edges. Her mascara makes her eyes stand out just right. I love her lips – absolutely love the color lipstick. There is some color to it, yet still it is a natural shade. The lip gloss going over is sexy. Obviously she is beautiful but at the same time everything is done right. This is definitely one of my favorite timeless beauty photographs of a woman ever.
Let’s look at two other celebrity women who are in their late thirties/early forties rocking this exact look. Up top is Shania Twain. She looks incredible with this medium brown hair and the hoop earrings. Her makeup is stellar as well. She has somewhat thinner lips and with the pale lipstick and gloss over she is doing exactly what a women should do with these type of lips. Shania Twain looks amazing. Below and to the right is Daisy Fuentes. She’s another beautiful woman. I love everything about her look as well. Her feathered hair is a little smoother than the others however it still looks amazing. Some women who want a neater more polished smooth look could do this slighter neater Daisy Fuentes hair over the Candy Loving more animalistic hair shown. To the far right is the canonical proof as far as I am concerned that Candy Loving’s look works for older women. Raquel Welch looks totally and completely amazing and could probably be in her fifties in this picture and she literally looks just like Candy Loving here! I love the solid colored sexy top Raquel Welch has on with the cleavage and detailed straps. Her hair is shoulder length but totally sensational. Yes Raquel clearly must have had plastic surgery and veneers to look this incredible, etc but she retains her beauty too with the hair and makeup on the earthier side in terms of colors.
Below center is Jessica Biel, another beauty. She looks good too however in these photographs is my least favorite. It can be the lighting of the photo but nonetheless it is good to point out that her makeup is the palest of all the women you see. With medium brown hair I really think you need a deeper makeup color – more bronzed to maximize the potential. The paler makeup on Jessica Biel does not look as good as Daisy Fuentes who is right next to her. You really need a deep rich foundation color and a bronzer either pressed or powder to rock this look. Pale makeup in my opinion does not look good with medium brown hair. Look at Shania Twain – her makeup looks natural in terms of earthy colors, but trust me she is seriously wearing bronzer all over to darken her skin tone significantly. She clearly has a deep tan (hopefully a fake one) as well. I’ve said this before that pale neutral makeup does little to help an older woman look full of life. You have to use some serious color, but as long as you keep it in earthy rich tones, you can pull it off.
Sexy feathered hair is a classic timeless Hair-Style. Feathered hair was made famous by Heather Locklear and Farrah Fawcett
All of these women are wearing the notorious feathered hair style. As far as I am concerned, this hair style is timeless and will never go out of fashion. The reason is that it is just so elementally attractive on women. Feathered hair adds volume and texture around the face of a woman and it always enhances her looks. You should know that this hair style does take some styling work. Ringlets and naturally wavy hair with curls (like Sarah Jessica Parker) is a style that women with curly hair can roll out of bed and get. Be forewarned that the feathered hair look shown here requires more work than that! First of all these women have hair cuts giving them a few long bangs and layers in the front of their hair. On top of that, most of these ladies were probably blow dried and then their feathers (the long bangs and layers that wing back) were most likely styled with a round brush. Raquel Welch’s hair may have involved some clip in extensions to get that kind of volume but I don’t know for sure – I just know that it looks great.
Well I have shown you five women Candy Loving, Jessica Biel, Daisy Fuentes, Shania Twain, and Raquel Welch who look down right spectacular in medium brown feathered hair and their ages range from being young (Candy Loving) to 20’s (Jessica Biel) to 30’s (Daisy Fuentes) to 40’s (Shania Twain) to 50’s (Raquel Welch). Not only that, the times of the pictures spans three decades. The photo of Candy Loving is over thirty years old and the photograph of Raquel Welch is only a few years old. Medium brown hair with feathers and deep rich but natural makeup is a fantastic timeless look for a mature woman. If you are a mature lady and have hair and skin coloring close to these women you can try this hair and makeup look out. Get out your tan foundation, deep bronzer, blow dryer and round brush and try this look out on yourself.

Candy Loving, Shania Twain, Daisy Fuentes, Jessica Biel, and Raquel Welch show timless Medium Brown Feathered Hair
Love these looks, especially Shania Twain’s!! And I pretty much agree with all of your comments/tips about having a bronzed, yet natural skintone with nude colored lips and how that looks great on most age 40 and better women. Gorgeous is right! Also I have found out that I really prefer a true brown mascara, vs. the more intense deep black that most women wear…it’s just somewhat softer but still defines your lashes. I’m 48 now and still love playing around with new eye makeup looks, especially eye shadows!
