Makeup for redheads: 5 examples from Gillian Anderson
Throughout her career, actress Gillian Anderson has appeared in public with different shades of red hair – from light to dark – and for each color, of course, she selected a certain makeup. Woman’s Day asked Elena Grishechkina, the leading specialist of the Clinique brand, to tell what makeup is suitable for red-haired girls and what is not.
Light red hair color is most common among female representatives. Usually girls with these curls have pale skin and blue or gray eyes. “The ideal makeup for this color type is the accent on the lips. Use delicate peach shades of lipstick or gloss, says Elena Grishechkina. “Blush matching lipstick or gloss will also be a good addition.” For a more dramatic look, apply a beige eye shadow to the lids and one or two coats of lengthening black mascara on the lashes.
Evening makeup for redheads
Red or dark lipstick for girls with any hair color must be chosen carefully. Otherwise, the shade may not work and you will look ridiculous. Elena Grishechkina for evening makeup for red-haired girls advises bright red or burgundy shades of warm tones. For example, Gillian Anderson demonstrated a successful version of lipstick. And for the publication, Elena Grishechkina advises to emphasize the eyes with the help of smoky eyes. But choose shades of exclusively light gray shades, black can look vulgar. You can also apply black mascara to your lashes and highlight your brows with dark brown or gray shades of pencil or eye shadow. And the finishing touch is a peach blush.
Makeup for girls with a bright shade of red hair
For girls with bright red hair, discreet, natural makeup in warm tones is best suited. Beige, brown or gold eyeshadows, peach lipstick and peach blush will become indispensable cosmetics. If you have naturally fiery red hair, then you probably have pale or pinkish skin with freckles. Elena Grishechkina believes that the latter will only add to your attractiveness and should not be hidden. But if for evening make-up you dream of a perfectly even face tone, then a foundation with a dense texture will help to hide freckles. And before applying it, Elena advises using the Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector by Clinique, which successfully lightens age spots.

When creating a daytime or evening look, happy owners of red hair should be very careful with the choice of shades for eye makeup. For example, Elena Grishechkina believes that brown-eyed girls can successfully emphasize their eyes with the help of green, golden and lemon shades, blue or gray eyes are better shaded with gray and brown shades, and green eyes go well with brown and golden shadows. And it is better not to let your eyelids down with black pencil or shadows! The fact that this will not give you attractiveness can be judged by the photo of Gillian Anderson.
Makeup mistakes for girls with red hair
Red-haired girls need to be extremely careful with the color of lipstick. You should refrain from light shades (this especially applies to owners of pale skin), as well as dark brown shades.
