Lipstick for Redheads

When choosing a lipstick that flawlessly complements your flame-red hair, I suggest choosing a warm-toned shade that matches the enigmatic energy of your locks. Redheads suit a surprising array of lip colours – pinks, peaches, corals, poppy reds and plums are all options. Choose whichever lipstick you feel suits the mood and moment, darling.


Red Lipstick for Redheads

    Walk of No Shame Lip Cheat + Walk of No Shame Matte Revolution

    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.

    Kiss ‘N’ Tell Lip Cheat + Red Carpet Red Matte Revolution

    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!

Pink Lipstick for Redheads

  1. Redheaded model wearing Kissing Lipstick in Penelope Pink

    Pillow Talk Original Lip Cheat + Penelope Pink K.I.S.S.I.N.G

    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.

  2. Redheaded model wearing Airbrush Flawless Lip Blur pink lipstick in Rose Blur

    Pillow Talk Medium Lip Cheat + Rose Blur AIRbrush Flawless Lip Blur

    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.

My Best Eyeliner for Redheads

What’s a makeup look without a fabulous feline flick to accentuate the look of your eyes? Redheads can follow the colour science of my Eye Colour Magic collection to accentuate the sparkle of their eye colour, but it’s worth also considering the ways that colours will interact with red hair. Your eyeliner can complement or contrast your hair, darlings – will you beautify with coppers and browns, or stun with greens and blues?

  1. Eye close up of model wearing Eye Colour Magic Liner Duo in Copper Charge

    Complement red hair with warm-toned eyeliner

    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.

    Contrast red hair with colourful eyeliner

    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!

Redhead Eyebrow Makeup

Our eyebrows frame our face, darlings, so it’s important to get your eyebrow makeup shade correct. For redheads, it’s easy to choose an eyebrow pencil in a shade of brown that’s too warm or too dark; I recommend reaching for blonde and taupe brow products that help to add definition to the brows while flattering the unique combination of colours in your gorgeous ginger hair. Nobody’s eyebrow hairs are all one shade, darlings; try sketching hair-like strokes using two or three shades of brow product to create natural-looking brows with deeper dimension.

Eyeshadow for Redheads

When you’re creating an enchanting eyeshadow look, consider which colours are going to accentuate the look of your eye colour, flatter your complexion, and look gorgeous alongside your hair colour. For redheads, experiment with these classic colours that beautifully enhance the look of red hair:

My Best Blush Colours for Redheads

The world has fallen in love with blush, darlings, but some shades of blush like punchy pinks can sometimes look unflattering against the brightness of red hair. I often reach for shades like peaches, apricots, and corals instead to give the complexion a flattering flush. If you prefer a powder blush, I suggest applying [Cheek to Chic] in Ecstasy for the perfect peach blush look, or First Love for a soft kiss of peach pink. For lovers of my Beauty Light Wands and Matte Beauty Blush Wands, reach for Peachgasm or Peach Pop to flawlessly complement your red hair.

More Natural Makeup for Redheads

  1. All shades of Hollywood Flawless Filter glow booster

    Hollywood Flawless Filter

    Many redheads have fair complexions and are often blessed with fabulous freckles. Makeup is all about enhancing the look of your natural features, so I like to celebrate freckles rather than covering them up by reaching for a more light-coverage foundation. Embrace your freckles, darlings… I recommend applying my sheer-coverage glow booster, Hollywood Flawless Filter, to give your complexion a Hollywood-inspired glow that lets freckles peek through. 

    Tilbury Tip: If you love the look of freckles, darling, my Lip Cheat in Foxy Brown is perfect for drawing on faux freckles.
