You don't wear makeup the same way when you're brunette, blonde or redhead. There are colors that go best with blondes, but don't work with brunettes, and vice versa. Here are some tips for adopting the most harmonious make-up according to your hair color.

We often read advice on how to match your eye shadow or lipstick with the color of your eyes, but it is not the only element to take into account when applying makeup. The color of the hair can also be decisive and it is therefore important to choose a makeup that goes perfectly with it if you want a harmonious result, which sublimates both the eyes and the complexion. Whether you are blonde, brunette or redhead, we reveal the colors that suit you best.

Whether natural or artificial, blonde is a soft hair color and makeup should be too. For the complexion, we will therefore opt for light textures such as BB cream or foundations with little coverage. On the cheeks, a slightly pinkish beige blush will be enough to enhance the complexion without overdoing it. On the mouth, pinks and pastels are the best, but if the desire for a red is too strong, it is better to opt for a soft and matte brick, which illuminates the complexion without being too much. of contrasts.

And the eyes in all this? There, you have to not only adapt your eyeshadow to the color of your hair, but also to that of your eyes. To start, we prefer warm shades, to stay in the natural and soft side of blond. If we have green eyes, we will go for copper shades. If you have blue eyes, you'd rather go for taupe. And if you have brown eyes, no restrictions, you can afford anything!

Brown or raven black, brown is an intense hair color, to which you must bring a touch of explosiveness with bright and flashy colors, such as royal blue, bright red, or fuchsia pink, on the eyes as on the lips. Particularly black hair can also afford smoky eyes, provided they are not black, but rather gray or brown. Eyeliner is also a good idea to intensify the look.

And on the palate, we focus above all on red, whether it is spicy red, or more colorful, like a raspberry red, or even darker, like an eggplant red. On the cheeks, apricot shades are universal, but in case of very matte or black skin, we will rather opt for a brick blush, which will better highlight the complexion.

Red is the color of fire! We therefore favor makeup in warm shades to match this warm color while warming up her pale complexion. Moreover, at the level of the complexion, we favor a powder to illuminate and on the cheeks, peach or apricot shades that will bring out her hair color. On the mouth, you can afford bright colors, such as red, purple or fuchsia, which will also enhance the complexion.

And the eyes in all this? We forget the orange shades, which will be too tone on tone and we prefer beige, taupe, brown and champagne with a hint of black to intensify the look. You can also try green or yellow, but above all no blue or purple, which are much too cold for red.
