Once again it’s time for another episode of CEFTTG and lets just dive right in to today’s….oh dear…
What Fresh Hell Have You Brought Me Today?
If I have said this once I have said it forever: there’s a certain kind of guy that can pull off pink, especially neon pink, and you ain’t it chief. I have been saying this until I’m utterly blue in the face and yet y’all just don’t get the memo.
*sigh* One more time…
It can flatter like no other or make you look like a bottle of Pepto and you look like a bottle of Pepto, so much so that I’m getting an upset stomach!
So here’s some other options.
Red
First things first: It's a myth that redheads can't wear red. Many celebrities and fashion experts have proven otherwise—redheads can wear red. Just don't overdo it by wearing a shade of red identical to your hair color. For example, if you're a strawberry blonde, go with a soft cranberry or an orange-red for contrast.
Blue
Blue is one of those universal colors that complements almost all hair colors, and there's no exception when it comes to redheads. Whether an inky navy, soft powder or deep cobalt, blue is a definite "do"—it highlights fair skin and offers a deep contrast to bring out red tresses.
Green
Green has long been the go-to color for redheads, and for good reason. From muted olive to Kelly green and emerald jewel tones, green shades and redheads are a match made in heaven. Instead of your usual LBD, try a little green dress for a bold color pop. Rich, saturated greens are usually a better match than yellowy-greens.
Purple
Purple can be a hard color to pull off, but it's actually very flattering on redheads. True purple and bright, electric shades are very complementary. Steer clear of soft lavenders, as muted shades can wash out your skin and hair. If you want to wear a softer shade, look for a mixed pattern of bright purples and light lilac.
Tip
So what shouldn't you wear? Yellows, pastels, fleshy shades and very muted, toned-down shades and pinks. These colors will wash out your sunny coloring and vibrancy.
Every wardrobe needs neutrals, though, so opt for black, white and dark chocolate browns.
About That Make-Up…
Makeup for redheads can be trickier. We want our shoes to match our dress, we make up to complement our eye color, and while the majority of us are able to find the perfect match, others might not. Blondes tend to look good in shades of gold. While on the other hand brunettes easily pull of coppery color metallic.
However, if you happen to be a redhead, it makes it 10 times tougher to find the right make up to complement those sassy sirens of our fellow redheads. As a redhead or having auburn tresses, it is extremely essential to search for makeup shades and tones that are flattening.
In order to look fun and fabulous without overly doing yourself in the makeup department, you need to be aware of what makeup idea would suit your fiery looks.
Here’s a few tips.
Cherry
You can just not go wrong with wearing a cherry lipstick. And if you are a redhead the darker the lipstick the better as it is going to complement those fiery tresses of yours. Moreover, this makeup idea for redheads will best suit your complexion.
Choose wisely! If you have a pink undertone to your skin, it is recommended to pick a blue-based red lipstick. While on the other hand, if you have yellow undertones, congratulations! You can go all red on your lips, picking any shade whatsoever.
Bold Eyeliner
Most girls try to look fabulous in bold color liners. But if you are a redhead, you don’t even have to try. You know why? This is because red heads can easily pull off green and blue eyeliners as the daring colors and those crimson hair are a match made in heaven. This is one of the sassiest makeup looks for redheads.
Bold Eyeshades
Applying bold green color eyeshadows immediately brings that magic into your face that it allows you to look dazzling and makes your eyes pop out. Also, using these bold colors under eyes can allow you to rock any makeup for redheads.
Colored Mascara FTW!
What a redhead needs to know is that having colored lashes can do you no harm. Applying blur or burgundy mascara on those long lashes would add the much-needed contrast with your crimson tresses. Do not be afraid to go all out on the colored mascara as it is definitely a winning look for redheads.
The Highlighter Is Your Friend
As a redhead, you can go all out on highlighting those cheekbones. You can use a powder highlighter to slightly tab those high points of your cheekbones or you can also use a liquid highlighter to get that shimmer on your cheekbones. Thus, do not hesitate to emphasize your cheekbones with this black and gold eye makeup for redheads.
