Make-up for redheads

A. It sounds like you have changed your hair colour quite considerably, so you will need to change your make-up routine as well. One of the reasons hair stylists advise staying within a shade or two of your natural colour is to avoid this situation. On the other hand, changing your hair colour dramatically can be uplifting and lots of fun. Here's how to adapt your make-up routine to get the look you want.

First, start with your foundation. Red hair generally adds warmth to the skin, but at times it can make your skin tone look too 'pinkish'. Using make-up that's a little more gold-based may be all you need to make your skin tone look right with your hair. Keep your eye make-up neutral and play with lipsticks to find a colour that harmonises well. More often than not, coral- and yellow-based lipsticks will look great with your newly-coloured locks. A little bronzer applied to your T-zone (the area across your forehead and down your nose and chin) and cheeks can help too. Good luck.
