Ok, so I'm a fully red headed chick, and i want to start wearing make-up. not too much, just a little something that will look natural. I have pretty bad pimples, and I would like to cover them.
Is there like any colours i shouldn't wear, since I'm ranga?
Also,what should i start with??
Thanks heaps :)Make-Up advice for a red-head.?
Niola Roberts does an amazing range especially designed for people with fair skin and she's a redhead herself who found it hard to get a foundation that matches. Assuming you don't live in the UK I'm not sure if you can buy it online but here's the website anyway, it might give you some ideas...

Lip and cheek colours with a peach base work well on redheads. If you have brown eyes then a mid to light brown eye-shadow, and if your eyes are blue or green then bright blues and greens will look amazing. Redheads should always be thinking 'dusky' when it comes to pinks as bright pinks and reds don't usually work.
Invest in a good foundation! Caking makeup over pimples can draw more attention to them and so choose a satin-base foundation that will reflect the light (like Dior Airflash), as opposed to the run-of-the-mill chalky foundations you'd find on the shelves. A concealer like Clinque Airbrush would be good to help hide your spots.
Also invest in some good skin products like Clarins or Clinique and use the three step system every morning and night...cleanse, tone, moisturise. For some people dabbing a little toothpaste on your spots overnight will dry them out and disappear but it takes a couple of days usually and doesn't work for everyone.
Hope this helps!Make-Up advice for a red-head.?
Hi,
Not cause offence but the stereotype for red-heads is they have pale skin, so avoid harsh colours for your day to day make up.
(Remember to apply primer before eyeshadow too. )
Also avoid pink eye shadows as they can make skin look sore. A sweet baby blue would look cute as would soft blended toffee browns. Brown or clear mascara would work well too.
If you plan on wearing foundation don't forget foundation primer, Gosh sell a good primer, or you can just moisturise, just before hand make sure you skin starts off clean.
If you have pimples don't apply too much and when you take off your make up use an exfoliating cleanser to get into pores and pimples. Mousee foundations are easy to apply, try the Maybelline Foundations.
If you want to add some colour to your complexion a mousse blusher would look more natural than powder so use mouuse and swirl on the apples of your cheeks for a natural glow.
Hope that helps. xx
Heres my advice, step by step for a natural, everyday look :)
1. Use a liquid concealer, not a solid one to cover your pimples- it glides on more easily and looks much more natural!
2. Don't use blusher, as with your hair it will make you look very embarassed! Instead, use a shimmery white powder [you can use eyeshadow, or illuminator] and just follow your cheekbone. This will give your face definition without making you look like a clown! :p
3. Stay away from warm makeup colours, you've got great red hair so you can go ice-cold. Black will work for anyone of course, but keep the eyeshadow light, not too 'harsh'. Other colours that would suit you are a shimmery beige, deep green or deep purple. Wear these up to your eyecrease for a fun look, or for everyday just smooth a bit of beige shimmer on eyelids for a wide awake look.
Hope that helps :D x
