Makeup tips for redheads?

Question

I need makeup tips, im a redhead about 5'5 1/2 i have fair skin with freckles and im not sure what makeup would look nice on me.

Answer 1

I'm a converted red head myself. But a lot of factors play into your ideal make-up other that hair color. I don't wear foundation, just some concealer on certain spots. I have a golden complexion so I wear blush that's a bit dark pink. (lightly applied) However, with freckles I wouldn't personally. Freckles are a cute asset to the face. Feel free to go bold with your eyes, eyeliner and mascara can draw attention easily. As your lips, just some pinky lip gloss would do the trick. But be sure to test before you buy, whatever you like and get compliments on is a winner! Good Luck

Answer 2

I'm a fairskinned Red-head (Mostly Freckless) I find Maybelline 3-in-1 Creamy Natural Base is the best for blending fair with freckles. It's also SPF 15 and doesn't cause brake-outs. A black-brown eye -liner compliments eyes very well. Black mascara and natural pinks, browns, blues and greens make great eyeshadow colors. As for blush keep it light. A light Bronze or slight pinkish are nice. Red-heads look best with a fresh look. Lipstick, keep it glossy and natural something that matches or slightly deepens the lips. Avoid Oranges and Yellows, they make your skin look red and blotchy. Horrible clash.

Answer 3

I use a light brown with pink undertones blush and I use either a deep red lipstick or a pale pink gloss depending on whether its casual or more dressy. Eyeshadow depends on your eyes but I wouldn't use a black eyeliner. Try a brown for blue eyes or a purple for green eyes. And use a powder foundation that won't cover your freckles completely. Be proud of your freckles.

Answer 4

I use brown's and pinks for eye shadow and sometime purple if I'm wearing white or black. I don't like powder or foundation. Makees me feel icky. I usually wear a peachy lipstick.
Red red lipstick looks really bad on redheads.
I disagree with the mascara and black eyeliner comment. I love them both. black/brown mascara looks best on redheads...but there is nothing wrong with black either.

Call a clinque store and set up a consult. They will do your makeup for free and you can ask them lots of questions.

Answer 5

I have red hair and fair skin but no freckles, my hair is a bit of a darker red, I like to wear green eye shadow and earth tones for blush. I can also pull off grey eye shadow, even a white color works. Red heads look best in earth tones so thats where you should start.

Answer 6

I'd say green because if you think about the color wheel, green and yellow(base of red)are diagnol. I always think like that, i don't know if it's right though. I think anything would look good on a red head.

Answer 7

golds and army greens look wonder ful on redheads! it is also in style now. try those color eyeshadows and dark brown or gold eyteliner. stay away from pinks, since they will subtract from the coolness of your complexion. hope i helped!

Answer 8

go natural. little eye shadow. im a red head, that's what i do. and, red lipstick might wok on u, but it all depends on the person them selves. got to have the attitude. but, greens look good, also purples, pinks, no orange, the black smokey look works, but, it depends on the girl.

Answer 9

that is like me. i exploit a brown mascara, a mild rosy pink eye shadow, a gently utilized brown eye liner on the best of my eye lid a mild pink blush, and a sparkling lip gloss, and that's truly all you prefer, you may desire to circulate truly dramatic and increase on it, yet i'd propose purely staying impartial. stable success!

Answer 10

pick something that complements your eye color. wiht the right choice, it will bring attention to your face and make your eyes stand out. since you havea light sking tone, i wouldn't suggest using much blush. i had a friend who did that and she looked like she always had a sunburn. play with some pastel colors also for your eyes.
