The main rule with redheads and makeup is the simpler the better. Keep eyeshadows to one shade, define your brows (a must for many redheads), and tint your lips and you're ready to go. Green or brown based eye shades look great on you, but your skin tone can often be very pink, which means heathery pinks and plums will also suit you. Many redheads have high color in their cheeks, so only use blush if you feel you really need it. Finally, if there's one shade every redhead should own, it's a bright orangey red lipstick - with soft brown or green eyeshadow, it will look amazing. Like blondes, you should steer clear of black mascara, which looks unnatural. Choose brown instead, and never go without it-redheads' eyelashes are often very pale and need that hint of color.
