Makeup that looks best on redheads

Makeup that goes with red hair will accentuate your features. Although red hair is obtainable in a bottle or a jar, natural redheads make up only about 2 percent of the population in the United States. Natural redheads usually have orange-red hair, strawberry blond hair or deep auburn shades of hair. Redheads also typically have lighter skin complexions and sunburn easily. Oftentimes, redheads have freckles, and the undertones in redheads tend to be blue, yellow, or pink.

Keep your makeup simple and classic with a focus on big lashes. Most of us all love a dramatic lash and when the rest of your makeup is pretty natural, like this look, it further emphasizes the lashes to let them pop. This is perfect for a night out or special occasion when you want a statement eye to compliment your red hair. Yes, even something as dark as this lip!
