Foundation-Rimmel Stay Matte Powder. Apply a little bit with a large makeup brush. It will control shine and even out skin tone. If you have any blemishes apply a little concealer over them.

Eyes-Dark brown mascara. And a salmon pink eye shadow and a very light brown eyeliner will bring out green eyes.

Lips-Go easy on the lips. If your lips are already red I would just use some chap-stik or a clear lip gloss.

Blush-A light pink rosy blush would look really pretty.

I have red hair and fair skin as well, so these are just a few things I've found that work over the years. For your face, just a simple powder with a light pink blush. The blush that works the best are usually the ones that have more than one tone to it (Physicians Formula makes some great ones). For your eyes, a light bronze usually works well on a daily basis, or even a light pink. NEVER try to use black mascara if you have light eyelashes. Use nothing darker than brown because it will make your eyes look like they dont belong. As for lips, if you already have red lips, just some lip gloss or chapstick. There is also a great book out there that can help you by Bobby Brown. She gives some great suggestions for every-day wear. Hope this helps!

I am a redhead too and it is hard to find drugstore brands (like Cover Girl, Maybelline, etc) that really work with my complexion. I use Bare Escentuals foundation in Fair 1.0 as I have very fair skin. Neutrogena's Healthy Skin liquid foundation is also good because it has yellow undertones to neutralize any red you may want to get rid of. Max Factor makes an Auburn mascara that's pretty good, but I LOVE the mascara's from Just For Redheads. They have a whole line of products that are made for redheads. It's a great alternative as I have found their products actually look good on me where other's don't. I actually found a lipstick I can wear! All other brands turn orange and icky on me. I think you can also email a consultant from there to get help with colors and such. Good luck!

i have green eyes to. brown and tan look REALLY good on peopel with green eyes. dust on a little brown and above your cresases a tan color. also to make you green eyes pop take green eyeshawow and dab it in the corner of you outer eye. but dont make it notibable. stay away from pinkie and red blushes it wouldnt look allt o well with your hair. id be to much and take awy form your pretty hair color. instead just get covergirl trueblend in..buff beige ( im guessing. i have lite skin and thats the color i use but you may be different) and then get some bronzer and run it up your cheekbones. for your eyes use a brown eyeliner and rim the outer corners of your uper eyelid and same with the bottom lid take black or brown mascara and put a few coats on you eyelashes. keep an old mascara wand with you (that is dry and has no make up on it) to separate you lashes if they clump together. since your lips are already red just dab on some clear lip gloss :] i hope this hleped good luck . you dont have to follow my advice all the way if you dont want to . expirement!!

Do you have a Nordstrom in your area? Many department stores have makeup counters where they give complimentary makeovers. Try a bunch of different counters and see what you like. Every makeup brand and artist will have a different look in mind for you. They will try to sell you stuff, and if you can't afford it, don't buy it. Instead, pay really close attention to what they are doing, the colors they are using, etc. Really good places will even write down all of that info and you just tell them that you want to think about it. Then you can go to drugstore and buy stuff that is similar to the colors they used. Sometimes the department store quality is better, but if you don't have the money, just use the drugstore stuff. Especially for things like mascara. Good luck!

It is essential to start with a good foundation, lots of people will say to go without, but then it looks unfinished, in my opinion anyway. If you can't find a color that disappears into your skin go to Prescriptives and get a custom blend it is an amazing process. Then I would say stick with neutral eye makeup like browns, maybe light greens to accent your eyes. Either try using a neutral lipstick on your lips to tone down the red or go with it and just slap a little gloss on them. Remember to like yourself and just accent you with makeup not to try to recreate yourself.

You want to stay away from colors like blue, etc..........
It sounds like you have a great look, just try something sheer, like a light foundation, some brown/black mascara (make sure to curl your lashes first) and maybe just a clear gloss on your lips if they are already red.
If you MUST use eyeshadow or blush, I'd stay with more of a coral type blush and maybe a light brown or tan eyeshadow. Some redheads can pull off green, but others can't. For a fun interactive search, try my website below and log into "Personal Beauty System".

Go minimal. It sounds as though you already have vibrant colouring, so you don't want to overdo it. If you have clear skin, avoid foundation or concealer when possible, especially if you are one of those redheads who has attractive freckling, and only use very little blush if needed, to avoid the extremes of looking washed out or clownish. With red lips, just use a little gloss, and keep the eye makeup subtle, so your lips and eyes don't compete.
