How to spice up my makeup?

Question

I'm getting really bored with my current routine. Im a really fair skinned redhead with blue eyes. what shades would go with my complexion?

Answer 1

try and mix up your colour of mascara. Brown mascara looks really good on redheads because it looks really natural. Also try black/brown or charcoal, or even navy blue. All of those colours bring out blue eyes. But don't put too much on. You don't want to take attention away from your eyes.

Answer 2

Alright, there are ways to tell what tones you should use. the scarf test- tie a pink scarf then an orange scarf around your neck. If the orange scarf looked best you'll look best in gold or yello tones. If you lookes better in the pink scarf then pink undertones work better for you.

Fair skin always looks best in blue based shades .

Also, if you want to spice up your make up choose one part of your face to make dramatic. if I were you I would chose the eyes because blue eyes and red hair alerady have a large contrast.

By Layering multiple shades of brown on your lids and applying a brown mascara will compliment your hair, eyes ,and skin tone.

Answer 3

You can use a lot of browns to make your eyes really pop out and finish off with a black mascara. This definitely helps spice up you make up but also don't be scared of trying new things, like new eyeshadow or lip colors or eyeliners because once you try a lot of things you will see what fits you perfect. NEVER stick with the same make-up routine because it makes it boring!!

im fair-skin blonde with blue eyes, but i think i know what you should wear. to play up your eyes, go for something like "POSH SQUASH" from clinique.... it will play up the blue and look outstanding. use the more orange color on your lids, and the bronze on your crease for a subtle look. for a heavier look, try bronze as a wide liner and orange above that. then a peachy/coral blush and coral lip stuff....looks amazing with red hair, especially if you have freckles. another great set is one from covergirl - the colors are:deep ocean, blue caribbean, misty seas, and arctic glow...they are blue hues, but dont be afraid...layering will look great!! if you have any ?s, email me!

Makeup Colors for Red Blonde Hair and Blue Eyes
Using ivory, chocolate and pink...
We often find ourselves reaching for the same old colors year after year. In this section of Beauty.about.com, I will be putting together mini lessons of colors that you might never have considered.

In the graphic to the right you will see a face with several numbers pointing to different areas. Below, you will find details explaining what each number represents along with the necessary instructions for placement.

**Remember that the shape of your eyes, nose and face in general are going to be different from the next person who uses these colors. This is your time to play makeup artist. Use the colors suggested and try placements that you might never have tried before. You might find a brand new technique that you will love!

1. Shadow for lid: ivory

2.
The second shadow color that you will be using is a soft chocolate brown but you will need a very light touch. Pick up a little on your brush and starting at the outer corner, sweep along the crease.

3. Liner: dark brown

7. Beneath Eye: no color added here.

4. Mascara: dark brown this time for a softer look.

5. Blush: Because we are looking for a soft romantic look, try none at this time to see the effect. If you really need a bit of color, choose a very soft color.

6. Lips: Start with a light application of baby pink for the first layer and add a soft touch of gloss. The lips should look moist, not shiny.

5. Blush: We are using a soft peach shade for a natural look.

Answer 6

alot of it depends on what you are comfortable with, golds will make blue eyes stand out but for a more dramatic look go for a smoky look with a matte black and a dark navy blue eyeshadow
