Your posted pictures are of very poor quality, and you look distorted on them. Please do not send them to your friend, just a color sample of dark burgundy would be good enough.

If you want your friend to see anything approaching your real skin and hair color, go outside on a day with high clouds (to soften the light from the sun), and take some more photos. This will produce vastly better results than trying to adjust the pix you posted.

Outside, the light will be brighter and of better color quality, so most cell phone cameras work reasonably well. Inside, with tungsten lights, fluorescent lights, light from the TV, light bouncing off of the walls, and a generally low ambient level of brightness, cell phone cameras rarely produce color accurate pix.

And, if, for some reason, you don't want to simply go outside and take some better pix with your phone camera, and insist on using one of the pix you posted, here's a quick fix (note, the soft look is intentional to hide some of the burnt highlights and other problems with the photos you posted).
