Makeup for Redheads

Nanalulu — Sat, 25 Jan 2014 16:01:17 GMT

I'm a redhead with a fair complexion. I’m never sure which products to try. I love the Balanced and Brighten Baked (fair) and the Baked Body Frosting Honey Glow (no longer offered?). Not sure which eye color, mascara or lipstick? Any recommendations?

What color are your eyes? I'm always in favor of eye contrast, because that brings out the color of your eyes.

I think you are very lucky in that you have a wide variety of makeup colors (in eye makeup) that you can pull off. Just depends on what kind of statement you want to make -- dramatic or more on the incognito side. For definition -- either black (mascara & liner) for a little drama, or browns for a more subdued look.

For lip color - you'd look smashing in any reds, orangy-reds, bright pinks, corals! The intensity of the color would determine how dramatic or everyday you want to achieve.

As a redhead (from a bottle these days), I cannot wear pink lipstick or pink cheek products. I have blue eyes and feel that I look better with brown liner and Laura Gellers Baked eye dreams Sandbar for shadows. If I am lucky enough to find a "coppery" lipstick, it's definitely best (for me). Sometimes a lipstick with "coral" in the name, has a tendency to turn pink and not a good look for me. I wear Laura Gellers Blush-n-Brighten in Golden Apricot for cheeks.

I am very fair with reddish brown hair with blonde highlights. Im very freckeled, green eyed, and Irish. I would bet very warm colors would look good on you. I can wear grey and taupe too They seem to run neutral on me. Pinks and cool tones look very bad on me. Purple and browns are my best colors. For bronzer I can wear Honey Glow, Tahitan Glow and Laura's Bronze and Brighten in fair. In fact I recently got a split pan of Balnce and Brighten and Bronze and Brighten in fair and I love it! I have to admit I am not very daring in my lip color. I wear nudes best. I also wear coffee shades, mauve, and coral. Any berry shade usually looks really bad on me.

I love Laura Geller's Golden Apricot too, Tartufo and Dreamsice. I also wear many Tarte blushes. They have a ton of these neutral nude type shades.

Natural redhead/green eyes here...I use fair Balance and Brighten, and the taupe eyebrow pen from Laura. I also use the Tropics blush on occasion. Most of the time I vary with makeup lines..I use Bobbi Brown Desert Rose blush most days, and good old L'Oreal Mascara in Brown/Black.

There is a makeup line called Just for Redheads, that had many nice colors and shades, just for us. They do have a website.

You should try the LG Chocolate Fix kit-looks like it has some really nice colors in it.

Dear Nanalulu,

I am a very fair redhead and I love Laura's products. I like Balance n Brighten, my fave is

Bronze n Brighten, and I love all of her baked eyeshadows, especially the browns. Her waterproof eyeliners are great in all of the colors she makes, I have brown eyes and they all look smashing !

I sometimes wear the Golden Apricot Blush instead of Bronze n Brighten but I have to be careful that it doesn't get too orange on me.

The eyeliners I like BEST are Mally's waterproof, especially black and midnight. Her brown and bronze are good for the lower eyes. I use her black Volumnizing Mascara, as well as

Jordana's Best Lash Extreme Volumnizing Mascara, I think I bought at Target, it's great and really cheap, a couple of dollars, and wears as well as Mally's !

But I have found THE most perfect lipstick for red heads...it's Cover Girl, I believe it's Long Last, not sure, but it's in their coral collections, and its # 285, "Temptation Tentation". I buy it out of every pharmacy, Wal Mart, Target, or anywhere I go and stockpile it, because once I couldn't find it when all of the berry colors first came out ! It's the BEST color ever for my hair and skin, and I never want to be without it ! People of my coloring and those even not have stopped me in public to compliment me on the color and ask what it is. Many redheads have copied me. Please try it, you will fall in love with it ! You can put it on lightly, with a clear gloss over it, but I prefer to wear it as is, as it stays on very well. There is a coral lip liner called "Smoky Intense" they make that is perfect with it and I try to keep plenty of that around as well. They match beautifully !

I hope you try this lip liner and lipstick if nothing else, I believe all of you redheads will be very pleased !

HTH

Blessings,

Remee
