Best Makeup for Each Hair Color

Find the Best Makeup for Each Hair Color , Whether you change your hair color frequently or have never even added highlights, it's important to consider the shade of your hair when you reach for makeup. If you don’t have a good combination between the two then either your makeup look or your hair color will fall flat, no matter how fabulous it may be.

Blondes

Face: With so many shades of fair hair (especially the variations between bottled and natural), it can be tricky to pick the best color cosmetics for you. If you're a golden blonde, stick to warm peaches and neutral pinks. If you're a natural beachy blonde, think sun-kissed: golds, bronzes, and nothing too pink. Whatever your degree of blonde, make your face stands out by dusting a highlighter on your brow bone, around your eye, above your cheekbones, and the bridge of your nose.

Eyes: Instead of black liner, which can look harsh with golden hair, consider using purple a hue. Line as closely to your lashes as you can, then smudge and soften the line with a small angled brush. Top with a purple shadow about two shades lighter than the liner. If purple's not your thing, soft shades of taupe, silver, and charcoal also look great.

Lips: Blondes can try a pop of bright pink on their lips for an edgier look. For long lasting, custom color, check out Jane Iredale's Just Kissed® Lip and Cheek Stain in Forever Pink. This non-drying, all natural stain adjusts to your own chemistry for an irresistible pink shade that will flatter your skin's undertone. Be careful not to use too much color on the rest of your face or your features will be competing with one another, and bright colors (such as blue eye shadow) can make you look clownish. Also, avoid lip colors that are too light since they can give blonds a washed-out look.

Brunettes

Face: To get a glowing, youthful complexion, apply a tinted moisturizer like Dream Tint by Jane Iredale and follow it with a bronzer on your cheekbones, brow bones, and bridge of your nose. Apply a blush, in a rosy hue, on the apples of your cheeks for a muted burst of color.

Eyes: Reach for shadows in the gold, bronze, burgundy, and peach families. These shades help make your eyes look larger and bring out the hues of your hair color.

Lips: Plum and burgundy lipsticks look great on brunettes. You can get away with a much bolder lip than your light-haired counterparts. Also, darker lips bring out the tones and depth in your hair.

Reds

Face: The biggest mistake gingers can make is going matchy-matchy. Stick with neutral or pink tones instead, sweeping just a bit of bronzer on your cheekbones, with some pink swirled on the apples of your cheeks. Sunbeam Quad Bronzer by Jane Iredale is a pink/copper bronzer that consists of four shades can be used together or alone to create a natural sun-kissed look.

Eyes: While the colors may conjure up thoughts of Christmas, when it comes to reddish hair, a greenish shadow is the perfect complement. Rich colors like green, olive, hunter, and chocolate really stand out on redheads since they're opposites.

Lips: While other hair hues may be able to play with different lip colors, redheads have to be a bit more careful. Many tones will clash with red. Try subtle pink or red tones that match your lips' natural color.

Blacks

Face: Raven hair is strong, so balance out its intensity by aiming for a creamy alabaster nude complexion. apply a tinted moisturizer to your entire face, then dust a bronzing powder only in the hollows of your cheekbones. Finish with highlighting powder on the cheekbones to attract light and create definition, add a cream blush rubbed onto the apples of the cheeks with your fingertips for a subtle rosy color. Try Jane Iredale's In Touch Cream Blush for a look that's soft, dewy and natural.

Eyes: Black eyeliner is important so the eyes don't get lost. Layer on several coats of mascara and skip shadow altogether because it's really not necessary to help eyes stand out. If you're feeling retro, try a cool cat-eye by winging eyeliner up and outward on both top and bottom lids..

Lips: Most experts agree: Noir-haired beauties can really rock a red kisser. Since black doesn't clash with any lip color, vivid tones really make a statement. Any shade of red works, or go darker with plum or berry tones for an equally dramatic look.
