How to Choose Cosmetics That Complement Your Hair Color
Next to skin tone, your hair color makes a huge difference in the make-up shades and styles you can pull off. It's similar to dressing to complement the weather of the seasons – the way the light plays off different hair colors can lead you to the best make-up color schemes to try.
Colors that look great on you as a brunette can give your face a muddy, low-watt tone as a blonde. The warm browns and corals that give Leighton Meester a glow when she's sporting dark locks would look out of place when she's wearing her hair on the lighter side. Check out our tips on choosing cosmetic shades no matter what your hair color is this winter!
Redheads have the luck of the draw this winter, as purple is one of the best shades for redheads to try. Overall, fiery redheads (especially those with fair skin and freckles) should try bright and airy shades. Sheer greens on the eyes and dewy apricots for cheeks and lips are the perfect match. Make sure your make-up look is crisp so as not to 'muddy' up your sexy freckles!
Blondes can have a little more fun as well, and you want to play up your golden highlights with iridescent, shimmery shades. Look for a balance of color – blondes want to bring their face to life with make-up, but not overpower their lighter overall look.
And brunettes can pull off vibrant hues even more so than their lighter colored locked peers – think plums, burgundies, reds, and metallics! Brunettes have a bit of free reign when it comes to colors - their hair frames the face, and most shades of make-up work well. Lucky you!
