Hello, just wondering if anyone has any tips on makeup for people with naturally red hair. I have really pale skin and blue eyes. I have a lot of redness on my face and I also have freckles and it can be difficult to cover the redness without covering the freckles. I usually use a really high coverage foundation which gets rid of the redness but makes me look kind of cakey... Also recommendations of eye shadow colours for red heads would be great too please. Thanks :)

My friend has naturally red hair. She wears a smokey eyeshadow. It looks good on her.

I use Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Airbrush Finish in porcelain ivory fair to even out my skin tone. :) it's about medium coverage and really help cover the redness. I also use a Rimmel London Match Perfection concealer or Clinique concealer. Lipstick paired with a good, light flush of color on the apples of your cheeks is always good for warming your face up. I still don't know how to do the whole "bronze" face look without looking dirty unfortunately. Good luck from a fellow natural redhead!

Yes I know what you mean about the bronzer ughhh contouring is such a mission because bronzers just look like dirt has been smudged on my face.
