    Brunette-Sheer shimmery yellow
    Redhead-Pure neon matte green
    Blondie-Frosty azure
    Raven-Dark smooth brown
    Yes–I’m guilty, I stereotyped for this one. The shadow colors are eye colors and the names are the names of what kind of hair people with those eye colors usually have…just a random idea that I got when I saw this. (About the yellow, I was thinking “amber eyes”.)
