What makeup should a redhead use?

Question

i have light strawberry-blonde hair and a very pale complexion. Every time i try to wear make up it looks too intense. All i can ever wear is brown eye makeup and very little of it. Even lipstick looks like too much. I want to be able to change up my look sometimes are there any suggestions on how to do that?

Answer 1

#1: Avoid pink or olive toned foundations. Foundation bases with pink tones make your face look more pink than it naturally is and olive tones make you look sickly---pick a neutral, biege-like foundation. A little yellow is ok, but only a little.

#2: Pick soft pinks and warm shades of blush to give yourself a healthy glow. If you like bronzer, use it lightly.

#3: Neutral is natural. Stick with neutral shades of eyeshadow to look casual yet polished. Light and mid-browns, champages, rich chocolates are best. Neutral and light pinks are also a good choice. For a more dramatic look, plums, greens, and blue shades are my top picks.

#4: Red-brown or dark brown are best for both eyeliner and mascara, though it depends on your shade of red hair. Strawberry blondes should always stick with light browns, but darker redheads can get away with black.

#5: Don't go too dark with your eyebrow color---choose a soft red-brown pencil or a light taupe powder, or otherwise you'll make your skin look paler and unnatural.

#6: Lipstick is best in nude shades or vibrant ones. Pale or dark pinks and browns are always good choices, but don't be shy to go bold with a dark red or plum. Do avoid red-orange shades, like peach.

#7: Go gold! Dusting a little gold on your eyelids or cheek bones looks incredible on redheads. I think because gold is so vibrant in the sun just as red hair is, they "mesh" well together

Make-up for Fair Skin
If you're fair-skinned, sheer colors look best on you. Apply light earth tones and soft pastels, such as blue and lavender to accent your eyes.

Various shades of pink will look good on your eyes, cheeks and lips. Keep your mascara to brown or brown/black. Light, sheer lipstick adds a finishing touch. Peach is always a good choice for our fair-skinned friends, it looks natural and compliments blonde hair.

Answer 2

You should go to a really great store dedicated to makeup- like Sephora. You can apply some light bronzers to give yourself a sun kissed, healthier completion. If lipstick is too intense for your skin, dont be afraid to wear a light nude lipstick. They are very popular right now and look great on any skin tone. For eye make-up, you should ask a professional what colors would go with your skin tone and eyes. And remember to use specifics, because if you dont tell them that you want a lighter look and so on, they may cake on the make-up. Go to sephora! They will give you a step by step for everything. And if you are not willing to purchase the really expensive stuff there, find the colors at your local drugstore at a cheaper price.

good luck!!!

p.s. If you go to Sephora, and are looking for someone to help you out, look at what makeup they are wearing. From what they are wearing, and how heavily they are wearing it, their suggestions to you will be similar to the style they have it on their face.

Answer 3

I wear make up that doesn't look like I have any on. Wear a pink lipstick that and a light brown eyeshadow. Make sure mascara isn't too thick. Try looked a covergirl makeup. They are pretty good.

Answer 4

I think a pale pink eye shadow would look good with your hair color. Also add a bit of shimmer over the pale pink for a more girly look. What color lipstick are you using? Maybe its too dark. Try a mocha color lipgloss. Revlon has good colors. Hope I helped!
