Two makeup tips that matches your red hair
Wear nude make-ups
If you have a strong and fiery red locks, go for lighter and fresher make-up. Remember that your red hair is best enhanced with subtle make-up.
Avoid red lipstick
If you have a lighter and dark red hair, you can try adding highlights on your eyes by putting winged eyeliner – but avoid using a red lipstick as much as possible.
Outfit tips
Try wearing blue dresses or tops as this could make your red hair pop any time of the day. You can also try wearing white to show off your hair’s vibrant color. Add a shoulder-grazing earring to add a touch of glam if you have short hair, a pixie cut to be specific. For accessorizing, avoid wearing silver jewelry. Choose gold and bronze instead so it won’t look dull when you wear it.
