​5 Beauty Tips for Redheads

Let's Dive into the Best Red Hair Makeup Tips & Ideas


1. Choose A Mascara That Fits Your Mood


Looking for a mascara that won't turn black? You know, mascara that makes you look natural and not have raccoon eyes. You're not alone! Many redheads share this struggle, which is why we're here with some beauty tips for redheads. Then take a look at our Hall of Fame line up of our Mascara Naturelle, in our new sleek packaging. Now your options are endless. Choose from 4-amazing shades in our Mascara Naturelle Line, all specifically curated as part of our red hair makeup ideas. Ginger Brown is a perfect warm brown without any black in it. Ginger Auburn is a warm auburn/brown shade, Ginger Red is a warm red/brown shade and Ginger Cocoa, the lightest mascara in our line, is a warm brown/blonde tint. This shade is perfect for teen redheads who are just starting to wear makeup, or for a totally natural go-to-the-gym look. How fun!


2. Skip Black for Brows


Here's one of our most popular red hair makeup tips: skip black for brows. Have you ever noticed that the easiest way to spot someone who colors their hair is by the color of their brows? If someone's brows are dark brown or black, or they don’t match their hair color, chances are, their red hair is chemically enhanced. Not always, but most likely. Some redheads have dark brown brows. But the majority have very light to non-existent brows. Nothing wrong with chemically enhanced hair, as we sell to a lot of women who color their hair red and want to add some red to their brows. JFR brow products allow anyone with red hair, natural or color enhanced, to add just the right amount of red or blonde tint to their brows for a more natural all-around look. With JFR, redheads can finally have the brows we’ve always wanted!


3. Rock Pink and Red Lips Confidently


To my dismay, when I was growing up, the only thing my mother would buy me that was red, pink, or purple… were pajamas. Her rule of thumb? No red, pink, or purple on a redhead. Although I hate to admit it, she was partially right about that, at least when it comes to clothing close to the face. Hats, Scarfs etc. That said, we do look amazing in lipstick that is red or pink (never purple) so long as it is a warm red/pink. That is why my go-to lipsticks are our top selling Mineral Lipsticks. Check out our New Cashmere, this shade is an amazing warm pink/nude shade this is my go-to for my everyday look. Or our Mineral Lipstick in Tawney Peach. A warm peachy/pink shade is also a great for every day. For evening I love our New Mineral Lipstick in Pout. This is a perfect warm pink/red shade for that special evening out.


4. Naturally Keep Your Tresses Red by Using Our 100%


Natural Henna


One of the most effective beauty tips for redheads is to use henna hair color to naturally keep your luscious locks glowing red. We redheads are so lucky that we can color our hair with a product that is 100% natural. Our environment is toxic enough without adding more to the mix with chemical hair dyes. As redheads age, some redheads get lighter, and some get darker. My hair would look almost platinum blonde if I did not color with our henna. This natural process has allowed me to bring back the strawberry blonde color of my youth. In fact, I have a clipping of my hair, that my mother kept, that totally matches my hair after years of using our Copper Henna. No fake chemical dyes for my red hair. Unlike chemical process, that dries out your hair, our henna will not only color your hair, but it will also condition and add shine. For those who want to just brighten up their existing color and deposit the least amount of red, choose our Champagne Henna. For a more vibrant color red choose from Strawberry Blonde, Copper, Red, and Auburn. For a free Henna Consultation, text me your photograph to 480-221-0976.


5. Black Clothing Looks Great on Redheads So Long


as It Is Not Close to The Face

Like eye shadows, clothing choices on redheads is always a personal preference. So here are my tips for what you will find in my closet as well as a few tips I personally follow. First off, black! I love black, but I always wear it cut away from my face, that means that I don’t own a single black turtleneck sweater. I do, however, own black button-down sweaters, pants, skirts, and tops. And who doesn’t own a few black dresses, but the neckline is key as I believe black too close to your face drains out the color from our pale complexions. Other colors that you will not find in my closet? Blue reds, pinks, yellow, bright lime green, and purple. Colors that abound in my closet? Teal (my all-time favorite), blues, creams, taupe’s, browns, and some greens. These are just a few clothing ideas for redheads that have worked for me.
