Make-up Tips for all your Stunning Red Heads out there

Eye Shadows:

Again like any other skin tone or hair colour there is no set rule for all red heads when it comes to make-up application. It really depends on your skin tone and eye colour. Not all red heads have blue or green eyes and pale freckly skin. I know some red heads with dark brown eyes and dark eyelashes.

Making your eye colour pop is one of the most important things. This means that you choose a colour that is opposite to your eye colour on the Colour Wheel

  • If you have Blue eyes then choose colours like copper, peach, gold, brown, bronze, taupe.
  • If you have Green eyes choose plum, purple, mauve
  • If you have Brown Eyes choose Navy, Green, Plum, Blue, Grey
Redheads are always advised to stay away from Pinks and Lilacs as they can make your eyes look tired and
sore. Again it depends on the shade of pink and your eye colour etc...

Foundation:

With foundations a very pink based tone can enhance the redness in your skin so it is often better to choose a more neutral or yellow toned foundation. Again it depends on your skin tone.

Eyelashes:

Tinting your eyelashes can also make a huge difference to your appearance as most red heads have very fair eyelashes. Otherwise a brown mascara can be lovely on Red Heads, although I do know a lot of my friends love their black mascara and would not even entertain brown mascara, so it really depends on the individual.

Lips:

Neutral lip colours are stunning on red heads with or without lip glosses. A red lip can also be beautiful once you choose the correct shade of red. Again red heads are always advised to stay away from pink, but I have seen a fuschia pink lip look stunning on girls with red hair.
