It can also be the light. If it’s a cooler CCT which people tend to use it will mute a lot of colors pretty bad. Wanna go warmer about 4000-5000k. Using high CRI helps as well. OP’s looks cooler than I would have gone.

It’ll be more like being in a jewelry store. They have great lighting if you have ever noticed. I believe even the nicer make up places do this as well. Could be wrong.

TLDR: could be color temp of light and not the light being too dim.

That's pretty cold light IMO. Lost in translation maybe? We say "warmer" light when the color temperature goes down.

(Etymologically I think it's because of the color of a fireplace.)
