Certain colors compliment and enhance other colors, and when thinking about eye makeup for those with red hair the secret is to remember that red undertones are really just a lot gold and brown.
Redheads tend to have fair skin that is delicate and is often quite sensitive, that is dusted with freckles and the lack of melanin makes this skin particularly susceptible to sun damage.
Makeup application for those with red hair requires a lighter touch, one that is sheer in texture and softer in color, although on evening occasions strong eyes and a deeply colored mouth can look all the more dramatic against this backdrop.
