Redhead Edit: make-up per capelli rossi

Warm-toned eyeshadows like camel, gold and caramel brown are a perfect match for the natural warm tones in red hair. Redheads can wear glistening golden eye looks to complement the glossy auburn tones in red hair – I love to add a shimmering pop of golden brown on the centre of the lid to really dial up eye looks in a way that flatters a warm, reddish glow. The trick to the perfect golden eye look for redheads is gently defining the crease with a warm-toned brown like Desert Sculpt, then adding twinkling gold shimmer to the lids with a glowing shade like Amber Haze.

A lot of natural redheads have a fair, English rose complexion, and when in doubt, keeping eyeshadow light and muted will always look flattering alongside the sheen of red hair. Gently sculpt the look of your eyes with a matte beige nude like Nude Sculpt, then add a subtle, satin shimmer like Satin Diamonds to brighten and elevate your look. This combination of understated, cool-toned nude and twinkling champagne looks so timeless and suits every occasion, making your eyes look bigger and brighter without overpowering your overall look.

I adore my empowering, confidence-boosting shade, Walk of No Shame, as an accompaniment to red hair. Walk of No Shame is a berry-toned rosy red that’s easy to wear and looks gorgeous on everyone, and it’s particularly flattering for redheads. The warm, muted hue looks beautiful on the lips, giving them a rosy rush of red that complements your fiery red hair. You can get the Walk of No Shame look by lining the lips with Walk of No Shame Lip Cheat, then filling them in with Matte Revolution Lipstick in my beautifying berry shade.

For a bolder, brighter red lipstick look, choose a poppy-red shade with a magical matte finish like Matte Revolution in Red Carpet Red. Red lipstick looks gorgeous on redheads, darlings – ginger hair is naturally vibrant and has the same eye-catching quality of a classic red lip. Line your lips with Lip Cheat in Kiss ‘N’ Tell, then fill them in with Red Carpet Red for full-coverage, hydrating-matte lip colour. Red lips are instant makeup confidence; pair your shiny red tresses with a cinematic red lipstick look and you will feel unstoppable!

There are two routes you can take with pink lipstick: you can choose an understated pink to create a beautiful, nude lipstick look, or a more vivid pink that adds a pop of colour to your makeup look. Wearing a brown-toned nude lipstick can look dull alongside vibrant red hair - this is easily avoided by reaching for a light pink shade with peachy undertones. I love to wear Penelope Pink K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick as a moisturising pink lipstick that flatters my red hair; first, I use Pillow Talk Lip Cheat to define the look of my lips, then I glide on Penelope Pink to complete my dreamy, pillowy, pink pout.

You can also use pink lipstick to make the lips pop alongside ginger hair. Reaching for a more impactful shade of pink like a berry-rose or petal-pink will give your pout a vibrant finish that carries through the effervescence of red hair into your makeup look. My AIRbrush Flawless Lip Blur in Rose Blur is a pretty pink lipstick that looks gorgeous on redheads; the mid-toned rose-pink shade gives lips a magical matte kiss of colour that can be worn blurred or bold for plush, rose-blushed lips.

Red hair features warm tones like reds, oranges and coppers, so choosing an eyeliner in similar shades helps to create synergy between your hair and your makeup look. I love to create a feline flick with my Pillow Talk Eyeliner; it’s the most mesmerising berry-brown shade that softly warms up your eye makeup and beautifully complements red hair. To bring the gorgeous copper colour of your locks into your eye look, choose fiery-orange Eye Colour Magic Liner Duo in Copper Charge or russet-red Walk of No Shame Eyeliner to add a flash of complementary colour to the lash line.

They say opposites attract, darlings… In colour theory, orange and blue are opposites on the colour wheel which makes them perfect partners. Redheads can make the most of the bright, ambery orange tones in their hair by adding a hint of blue eyeliner into their eye looks; a beautiful blue winged liner or a slick of blue along the lower lash line offers perfect contrast to ginger hair and can really make your look pop. My Eye Colour Magic Liner Duo in Super Blue is the answer to becoming a dream come true in blue! 

Tilbury Tip: A green eyeliner like Green Lights can also be a gorgeous accent to your eye makeup, especially if you have glimmering green eyes!
