Makeup Tips for Color Makeovers

By: Angie Sterkel

Your eternally brunette client finally took your suggestion to become a sultry redhead. One of your blonde clients embraced her inner Fergie and asked you to deepen her strands to a rich brunette hue. Haircolor transformations are well and good…until clients reach for their makeup bags. Then, suddenly those shadows, blushes and lipsticks don’t seem quite right. New hues often require a new makeup palette. Here, the pros at TIGI Cosmetics offer makeup makeover tips for each shade.

Blondes can wear more colors than most women, but it's best to stick with a modern palette that focuses on a clean, sophisticated eye and a tart pink lip.

Redheads will take center stage in shades of purple and wine. Concentrate color on the lids below the crease for a subtle, peek-a-boo effect. 

Often, brunettes feel like they have no color options when it comes to makeup, but that's so not the case! So not true!The palettes just aren’t as obvious. Try using a bold blue in a brand new way for a modern touch.
