Make-up for the redhead

Red hair and fair skin (not to mention the freckles) is what we consider the classic redhead coloring. No worries here if you are a little doubtful on the right make-up color for you. Start with sheer (and I mean sheer) foundation. Do not cover your freckles! They add allure and character to your features. If you are a little apprehensive about them, the sheer foundation will even out your complexion without flaunting your freckles.

For eye shadow, blush, and lipstick, make use of neutral gold, tan, camel, and brown based colors. But do not restrict yourself to these hues. Experiment and you may find that more dramatic colors (yes, even the most vibrant of red) can actually work with your coloring.

For mascara, refrain from using black and stick to brown. Black can be too harsh on fair skin.

Eyebrow essentials

One thing about eyebrows is that although they seem to be immaterial, the truth is they actually matter a lot in the looks department. Bushy eyebrows make one look sinister, cluttered, and untidy, making eyebrow grooming is a must.

Remember that the brow should start in line with your inner eye and should continue to the outer corner. All you need to do is get rid of the excess. But how? The choice varies depending on your pain threshold. You can either comb and trim, or tweeze the offending hair. Or if you have the extra cash, there is always threading or waxing.

Translucent loose powder

Once you’ve applied your foundation, the concealer, and the rest of your make-up. You can always make sure that what you’ve worked hard for stays on for the longest possible time. One trick to make this happen is to use translucent loose powder. What you do is to dust it over your face using a large soft brush. Focus on the forehead, nose, and chin –also known as the T-Zone, which are the areas of the face that are prone to more oil production.

Make Up Like a Rock Star

Several celebrity rock stars are the models for using make up. Different, unique splashes of colors, metallic highlights and electric blue shadows are all the rage. This looks good on our rock star celebs, but does it look good on you too? You can have their styles of make up and look good in it, by just being subtle with it. Simply using a black liquid liner and layering on a glimmery, silver shadow will define your eyes. Lining the inner rims of the eyes before lining the eyelids as close to the lash line as possible is a good idea.

Orange for Spring and Summer

Orange is big during spring and summer seasons. Most models wear orange make up in different type of hues during Spring and Summer runway shows. You can opt for a vibrant coral or a more subdued apricot color, depending on your skin tone. It is best recommended to wear this orange make up only at one area of your face, then keep everything else simple. Maybe an orange eye shadow or lip stick is enough. You can begin with a lighter, sheer peach tones to boost the natural color of your lips or your skin. Bright or intense colors may be too ageing and dramatic.
