Makeup colors for redheads

Pinks and blues are to be avoided by redheads. Instead stick to neutral shades, for eye shadows and lipsticks. Light browns, plums and champagne colors go well with vibrant redheads. The exact color palette can be selected based on individual skin tones. Redheads with fair skin must stay clear of deep blushes - lest it look overdone and artificial.

• A neutral foundation, close to your skin color looks good. Foundations of a gold or coral base are better suited.
  
• Blush colors, soft corals and other warm shades gels well with redhead.
  
• A neutral eye shadow color will be an appropriate choice. Very dark eye shadow will make fair skin appear pale. Honey, terracotta, beige and chestnut shades can also be tried and tested. In case you are using a darker shade, try a bit of lighter color on the outer edges.
  
• Eyeliner and mascara colors can be the same color preferably red-brown or dark brown.
  
• Lipstick colors like warm terracotta colors, cinnamon and beige peach tones, and browns suits redheads.
  
• If you want to use mascara, try brown to enhance skimpy lashes. Use pencil if you have very light eyebrows. But subtlety is the watchword as a heavy hand can lead to unnatural brows.
  
• A dusting of bronzing powder on the chin, forehead and nose can add some warmth.
