These Makeup Colors Look Stunning With Red Hair

About-Face Shadowstick in In Dreams

Super easy to apply, this pigmented stick also packs a serious color punch, and the rich teal hue pops on redheads. Also nice: It can be used as either a shadow or a liner.

The Best Blush for Red Hair

“Redheads should choose a warm, peach-toned blush,” says Cantor. “That hint of peach flatters the orange and red tones in the hair.” Two to try: 

L’Oréal Paris Glow Paradise Lip & Cheek Tint in Ethereal Blush

This weightless formula is ideal when you want just a sheer wash of dewy and fresh color on your cheeks (or lips —it works equally well on both). Blend it in with your fingertips, layering on more product if you want a little bit more of an opaque finish.

Beauty Pie Supercheek Cream Blush in Fresh Faced

We love that this cream blush offers a matte finish, choice for those who don’t love a glowy look. Still, it melts beautifully into skin to create a totally natural-looking flush, and can be easily built-up or sheered out. 

The Best Eyebrow Product Shade for Red Hair

The key to finding the most flattering shade of your brow product of choice? It should be a shade or two lighter than your hair color and have cooler undertones, advises Cantor. Anything that has any orange in it will look fake, he adds. Two to try: 

Maybelline New York Brow Precise Micro Eyebrow Pencil in Auburn

The teeny-tiny tip on this twist-up pencil (read: no sharpening required) is perfect for filling in and defining even the smallest spots on your brows. Use it to draw on small, hair-like strokes, then flip it over and use the included spoolie to blend everything together.

NYX Professional Makeup Thick it Stick it! Thickening Brow Gel Mascara in Auburn

A game-changer for those with sparse arches, this contains plant-based fibers to create the appearance of a fuller brow with every swipe. Plus, it imparts the perfect amount of color and helps tame unruly hairs, too.

The Best Lipstick for Red Hair

Yes, redheads can definitely wear red lipstick, but warmer pink hues, such as corals or peach shades, are also a great option, says Cantor. And if you want to try something more out-of-the box, a deep plum hue is also very flattering, he says. Two to try:

Giorgio Armani Lip Power Longwear Satin Lipstick in Splendid

This may look like a lipstick, but it feels like a balm, thanks to a mix of hydrating oils in the base. The color is also incredibly saturated, packing full-on pigment in just one swipe, and has a perfect satin finish that’s neither too shiny nor too matte.

Maybelline New York Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick in Founder

This cult-classic lippie truly lasts as long as everyone says it does. The budge-proof formula stays on for hours on end (no matter what you eat, drink, or who you kiss, seriously). We also like the unique, arrow-shaped applicator that makes precise application a breeze.
