Mad Men's Christina Hendricks is probably one of the world's most famous redheads.
Her role as feisty 60s secretary Joan Harris won her a legion of fans - but now that flame-haired beauty has shifted a shade, returning to her original blonde.
As a 20-something budding model, 40-year-old Christina turned her tresses auburn using a bottle of Clairol Nice 'n Easy, so it seems only fitting that she is now ambassador for the brand.
Now, as she steps out of Joan's colour-pop kitten heels and away from Madison Avenue, Christina opens up about her beauty routine, that hair transformation and some rather interesting beauty idols...
I could not live without cream blush, my Fresh lip balm (£18, fresh.com) and mascara. I love Maybelline Eraser Eye Concealer, too. It has a sponge applicator, you twist the bottom so the product comes out - it's fantastic.
One great tip I've learned along the way is, when you're doing a smoky eye, add a lot of powder underneath each eye so if any pigment drops down below you can whisk it away with a brush really easily.
Christina's blonde look is a far cry from the red tresses she's famous for!
My biggest beauty disaster was some years back. I had someone do my make-up and they did a very strong brow on me, with pulled-back hair. When I saw the pictures later I looked like a drag queen! It was a bold move.
When it comes to anti-ageing I'm not that familiar with what all the different products do. If a cream feels good on my skin and I see results, I'll use it.
I've been trying SkinMedica TNS Serum recently. It's supposed to be a collagen-enhancing kind of thing and I do like how my skin is looking. I'm also using a moisturiser by 3LAB that I really like.
My biggest pale skin beauty tip is to always use sun block. Because I'm so fair sometimes I can look a little bit pink so I like to use primers that have a hint of green in them to balance out my skin before foundation.

My current beauty idol is probably Auntie Mame - someone quite eccentric. I'm constantly inspired by different women. I think Florence Welch always looks great and Charlotte Gainsbourg is amazing.
Going back to blonde was easy, I love it. I haven't been this colour since I was 20 years old so it feels very youthful and energising.
I have had to tweak my make-up, when I was a redhead I could wear black eyeliner but it feels a little bit severe with the blonde. I'm going to experiment with softer tones and chocolate brown eye pencils from Lancome.
Hair colour change can be emotional - some people remember certain times in their life by the people they were with at the time, whereas I relate memories to what colour my hair was at the time.
My high school job was working in a salon as a shampoo girl, so I was used to seeing people transform themselves with their hair, which is why it has always been significant to me.
