Make Up Do's and Don'ts For Redheads

!±8± Make Up Do's and Don'ts For Redheads

The first thing that you want to do is use a white eye crayon to cover your eyelid. This will act as a base for the eyeshadow. Makeup Do: Do make sure that you use something creamy here to ensure that the eyeshadow will stick. Your work here doesn't have to be very tidy because we'll smooth it out later as we blend it over with colors. You do want to get the crayon all the way down to your lashes though, and go all the way into the crease of your eye with it. When you're done with the crayon, you can smooth it with your finger to create a nice and even consistency. This will eliminate any bumpiness and fade the white right into your brow bone.

Next, use a light tan makeup shade which is similar to MAC's soft brown. It will create a ginger, cookie-like shade just over your eyelid. Work this into the outer edge of your eyelid (the outer half of the crease). Makeup Don't: This would be considered a matte color, and I wouldn't recommend a shimmer here because we want to keep this on the neutral side. We will be incorporating shimmer into the highlights with this method later on. Use a small domed eyeshadow brush to pat it down and smooth it from the outer edge to the inner edge.

Now were going to use the golden pale brown, which is almost like a sandy, honey color. Load up your brush and apply it directly to the center of the eyelid. Makeup Don't: Don't touch the inner corner with this golden pale makeup because we want to reserve that spot for the shimmer. Next, we are going to use creepy linula color, which is an off-white which matches the redhead skin-tone. Apply this just underneath your brow to even out the tone. This will give you a really nice blended look.

Next, we use a medium warm brown on the very outer corner of the eyelid, just above the crease. For this shimmer, we'll use a soft fluffy brush and Coastal Sense 88 palette shimmer. The color to use is the gold shade, one over from the top right corner. Place this directly in the inner corner of your eyelid. Just tap it on very lightly as it contains tons of shimmer. If you have blue eyes especially, this shimmer will really help to offset them. You also want to apply this same gold shimmer to the outer edge of your eyebrow - again, in small amounts. Swirl it in with that brown we applied earlier to the top outer corner of the eyelid. This will help to smooth out the effect.

Lastly, take some more of the chocolate brown matte color we used previously, and apply it to your lower eyelid with an angle brush. This should help your eyes to stand out and pop.
