Golden Curls – A Spectacular Base For A Stylish Look
Too bright a base is always fraught with many dangers. One extra detail or too flamboyant accent and expensive thought-out image can turn into tastelessness, reeking vulgarity. In addition, beautiful makeup for red-haired ladies should be formed with a specific hair tone in mind, and the sun palette is incredibly broad. Each tone requires specific rules to be followed. What perfectly accentuates the naturalness of auburn curls can ruin the beauty of bronze or copper.
Regardless of the hair colour, girls should choose a makeup look that considers the colour of the eyes and other image elements. In addition, through the accents in the makeup, you can display the latest fashion trends, demonstrate your unique style, and harmoniously complement the accessories and the basic image. Red hair creates certain difficulties, but it is possible to cope with the task. To do this, you need to study experts’ basic rules and recommendations.




Tone In Makeup – The Basis Of All The Basics
If a woman with red hair has a natural dermal colour close to a warm palette, then the foundation and all accessories should have a peachy hue. Also, any warm base with a golden undertone will do.
If the natural complexion can be attributed to the cold range, you should use neutral shades, a porcelain base and light pink accents. The makeup base is not used to change the face’s tone radically. The purpose is to even out the skin’s surface, to make the natural tone more even and perfect.
That’s why sometimes girls fall into the trap. A poorly chosen facial tone completely changes the look, and the artificial makeup base may not match the eyes’ colour and the curls’ shade.








For girls with light beige skin, choosing a foundation with a light translucent texture is better. This is extremely important if the girls have freckles, which they would like to keep during the formation of makeup. Translucent textures are also appropriate if you create wedding makeup for redheads.
Many redheaded beauties don’t like their aristocratic pallor and sometimes use bronzing powder too fanatically and thoughtlessly. This is a grave mistake. Too dark skin in combination with bright flaming curls always looks unnatural.




Eyes And Eyebrows: Accents
Many girls like to emphasize the eyes. The first mistake sunny hair wearers usually make using black eyeliner.
Even if a girl has a rather muted shade of hair and dark eye colour, too black massive or thickened lines with special shine and intensity will be unnecessary. This is the case when a single touch can make makeup look vulgar.
It is much more advantageous to look chocolate palette. To make makeup for red-haired girls neat and thoughtful, it is better to refuse liquid eyeliners. It is more appropriate to use a pencil. If the base tones are peach, beige or caramel, it is better to use a light chocolate pencil. This combination can be safely used in daytime makeup for redheads.









Eyebrows Are The Most Complicated Part Of Makeup
It is important to choose the right makeup for a spectacular holistic image. However, redheaded girls often have a problem with their eyebrows. The wrong contour or inappropriate colour can ruin the whole makeup.
Beautiful, neat eyebrows in chocolate tones will spark your eyes and create a romantic image. But dark wide dark eyebrows are a fashion taboo for almost all girls with red hair colour.
If the eyebrows are not designed at all, the face becomes disproportionate. Sometimes girls seem to have no eyebrows, which in no way beautifies their image. Stylists advise using the services of microblading specialists and having the eyebrows done in a salon. Thus, beautiful soft contours and the correct tone will always adorn the face of the girl.
For neutral microblading options, look for universal shades – camel hair for warm undertones and ash for cool marbled skin. A soft brown tone will accentuate the eyes.









Selecting Eye Shadows
It is important to understand that bright makeup for redheads with green eyes and fiery owners with gray eyes will be significantly different. The golden curls will suit the shadows with a shimmering iridescence, but the base colour will be chosen considering the other colour partners in the image.
Gray eyes can be safely complemented with ashy shadows. Shades with similar undertones also look good. It can be a gentle olive and muted green tones. The right makeup for red hair should be emphasized with silver flecks and moderate glitter.
Blue-eyed girls can choose a shadow that repeats the colour of their eyes. Owners of expressive blue eyes can use not only shadows but also other decorative accessories in a similar colour. Effectively looks evening makeup for red-haired, blue-eyed women, where blue or aquamarine shadows complement the eyeliner of the same shade.
Owners of a particularly expressive look and long natural lashes can improve their evening makeup through blue mascara. Such decorative cosmetics are applied with a special brush so as not to overload the lashes.
Brown-eyed girls can freely use green and chocolate palettes. Red hair and green eyes can be matched with amber tones. For brown-eyed beauties, this technique is also relevant.





Vivid Experiments
If all of the above tones can be classified as calm and neutral options, then it is worth considering bright elements separately. To create juicy makeup, girls with red hair should pay attention to the following colours:
- Golden Beige;
- Turquoise;
- Aquamarine with silver iridescence;
- Pure gold;
- Bronze;
- Coffee;
- Taup;
- Khaki.
Even the brightest shade is chosen to take into account your colour type. It is always necessary to remember it. As for the traditional dark-tinted eyes, it is better not to use this version of the makeup even for an evening out. It is possible to experiment with the chocolate palette.





Lipstick Or Gloss?
Always use lipstick or lip gloss to give a festive and complete makeup look. The main rule is always the same – the accent should be on the eyes or lips. If the look and eyebrows are quite expressive, it is worth applying just a little gloss on the lips.
If all the attention is attracted to the lips, it is worth giving preference to calm eye makeup, picking up the tone of the decorative coating for the lips in detail. Always choose a lipstick most in harmony with the shade of curls. Also, any decorative coating or gloss is applied with a special brush. This way, the makeup looks more natural and accurate.
Warm palettes look harmoniously with golden hair: orange, brick, peach and terracotta colours. For girls with brown eyes, suit chocolate or caramel lipstick. At the same time, the curls can be quite light. You can use shades of red and coral palettes for an evening out. Pink lipstick looks good in a nude makeup format.
It is better to give up catchy orange shades to get beautiful makeup for red hair. This applies to both lipstick or gloss, as well as shadows, foundation and other elements. Purple looks bad with golden hair in any form and shape. If difficulties arise in creating a fashionable image, it always makes sense to consult an expert to prevent a fashion fiasco.
