The market is filled with options that will accentuate your tresses and complement your skin tone so that you can flaunt your redhead style confidently. Jackie Alves, Pro Makeup Artist and Beauty Educator says “Red heads will almost always benefit from sticking with warm, peachy tones and soft, glowing pinks.
Hair-color trends may come and go, but according to Joico Celebrity Artist, Jill Buck, of Salon Nine Zero One, juicy peach tones are here to stay. See how she incorporates this beautiful blush color into her redhead and blonde looks.
Pink is a very complementary 'redhead friendly' color to explore with your red hair. Start with a subtle pink shade if you're a little weary about drawing attention to your lips but want to start exploring with some color. If you're already an adventurous lipstick wearer, opt for bright pinks and fuschias.
Despite it looking great on gingers, bright orange may be too daring for some, but it's not the only orange-y shade rocking lips this season. Depending on how bold you're feeling, there's an orange shade of lipstick for every ginger, timid or brave.
As with any hair color and complexion, there are some “no-no's.” Avoid pastels since these colors tend to wash out those with red hair. Also avoid most oranges, yellows, and burgundy-reds. Yellow is really a wild card color— on some it looks unbelievably good, and others it washes them out!
At the same time, warmer tones — think peachy pinks and corals — are also extremely flattering, complementary to the warm undertones found in all shades of red hair, says Cantor. Even purple hues, be it a violet eyeliner or plum lipstick, work, since purple has a mix of warm and cool undertones, he adds.
Today, blushes come in many colors other than red (rouge). Natural blush colors like coral-red, apricot and peach lend a warm glow to the cheeks of redheads and look very classy. Pink blushes are too undefined for redheads and should therefore be avoided.
Yes, You Can Wear Pink With Red Hair (Especially in Summer)
Natural redheads usually have fair skin with cool undertones, and it's a stunning combination. So if you have cool skin tones, opt for a natural auburn or mahogany shade.
Less eyeshadow is more, especially in the summer. Go for a darker look in the evening. Change up your black smokey eye. Opt for browns, dark taupes and purples — very 'Redhead Friendly'.
Stick to shadows containing a warm undertone like brown, bronze, evergreen and deep orange (yes, deep orange can look great with red hair).
Rarest kind of redhead
Having red hair and blue eyes is the rarest hair/eye color combination possible. The odds of a person having both of those recessive traits is around 0.17%. Instead, most redheads have brown, hazel or green eyes, according to Medical Daily.
Redheads should avoid most oranges and yellows, and get their color punch from apricot and lavender. Pink can be unexpectedly flattering with red hair; depending on your shade, you can wear tones from the palest blush pink to a bolder pure pink.
If you're shopping for a red head, then you'll want to pick jewelry items in shades of silver, including aluminum, sterling silver, platinum, white gold and stainless steel. Red hair really complements these silvery metals, which stand out against red locks.
Pink: Yes, redheads can wear pink! If you're looking for a subtle shade, try Laura Mercier Sateen Eyeshadow in Guava or Crown Brush C4 Blush (featured in every July H2BAR Box).
Since black is the boldest color choice, it's ok to avoid that if it looks too severe when applied.” You can, of course, opt for a black formula if you're a redhead with dark lashes and brows, or if you simply like the way it looks. (It's also handy to keep a black mascara on hand for when you do your next smoky eye.)
BROW GEL FOR REDHEADS
Or if you have auburn hair, Soft Brown is a slightly deeper, neutral-toned shade that'll suit you perfectly!
As we mentioned, purple shampoo can be used to neutralize brassy tones, like yellow and orange that can pop up as your red hair color starts to fade. This will help your overall hue look its best, and help you make your color last longer between salon visits (or at-home coloring sessions).
We love this trend because sometimes black eyeliners and mascaras can be quite harsh for redheads. Brown eyeliner is a nice subtle way to add some definition to your eye without overpowering it.
When red hair follicles stop producing their gingerish pigment, the colour fades from red through a glorious spectrum of faded copper to rosy-blonde colours, through to silvery-white.
One of the many facts about redheads is that their hair will never turn grey. The pigment in their hair that causes it to be red will just fade over time, causing their hair to turn blonde or white, but never grey.
Note: Most redheads have cool-toned skin, but there are always exceptions.
