What looks good on a redhead?

[Rockell]

Hey, new here and fairly new to makeup (ie: I can always use help!) and I'm just wondering what looks my fellow redheads like to wear (or what the rest of you would recommend to a redhead). I'm a natural redhead, and I have blue eyes and super fair skin with freckles. I wear both cool and warm colors, but I generally look better in warm shades, unless I'm really playing up the fairness/blue eyes.

I have gotten stuck in this rut of neutral/smokey bronze eyes and peachy cheeks/lips and I'm bored...any ideas??

TIA!!

what about trying something like golds and greens for eyes, and browns or nudes for the lips? a nice combo might be swimming e/s, sprout e/s (or something like it) and femme noir e/s with fresh brew l/s...

Ahhhh im not sure but id say look at our beautiful specktra member "Shimmer" she has red hair and all her looks are awsome

just a thought

I bet warm purples would look great on you.

Palatial lip glass. Looks weird in the tube. Looks amazing on redheads and strawberry blondes.

 

[Shimmer]

I wear greens and golds and caribbean colored blues and bronzes and coppers.
I use MSFs for blush, so I can't help you there.

And for lipstick my favorite is waterviolet by clinique.

I have noticed that redheads wear browns, purples, greens and blues.

 

[Shimmer]

I stay away from purples and icy blues, as they're a bit harder to wear with redhair,but that may be more my skintone than anything else.

Greens, teals, and blues would look beautiful.

I agree with greens! I'm a fake redhead and I like purples. Just experiment with every color possible!

 

[melozburngr]

I wear everything... well.. pretty much.. being pale, blacks dont work so well...as eyeshadow anyway... liner and mascara its ok...

hmmm.. its all experimentation to figure out what works.. I wear a lot of teals... but thats cuz I like em... oranges and orange-based browns make the blue eyes just about pop outta my head (cranberry is great for this, too)

I dunno if Im any help...

when i was a redhead, i loved to wear teals on my eyes. actually i still love to.

As a fellow Red head, I love wearing blues, greens, purples for my evening looks, and natural tans for my work look. I also will do a smokey eye which can look great if you do a neutral lip color. I also will recommend Palatial for a great hot pink that you would never think would look great on a red head! Just have fun with it and play around!!

I noticed that red heads look really good with red lipsticks with a bit of brown in them, it really complements their beautiful hair colour. I love Bobbi brown's burnt red. A redhaired friend of mine uses it and it looks gorgeous on her.
