Brunettes Can Totally Rock Red Lipstick. Yes, I reach for a red tube of lipstick year round. The shade that I choose from my little collection may vary a bit depending on the season. In the summer, I love something lighter and brighter like this red by YSL.
Brunettes and red lipstick go together like JLaw and Dior. They can pretty much get away with any shade – bright, light, deep or dark, but vibrant shades pack the most punch. Shu Uemura's M OR570 is the ultimate red with just a hint of orange. Like brunettes, those with black hair have a little room to move.
Consider your hair color before selecting a lipstick shade. For instance, it is best to stick to nude to light brown lipstick shades if you have naturally brown hair. However, with dark brown or chocolate hair, you can play with bolder colors like ruby, crimson, plum, or cherry.
However, darker brunettes may look better in reds that have a warmer undertone. If you have lighter brown hair then consider applying a pink or rose colored lipstick. If you have darker hair then pucker up in shades of berry, plum, golden pink, brown-pink or wine.
Beautiful brunettes are lucky, as they tend to get away with most shades of red. For something more flattering though, we'd always recommend choosing the deeper, berry and burgundy reds. If you have a dark complexion and burgundy hair, your red lipstick can be dark too, complementing your look.
Before we dive in, let's get this out of the way: anyone can wear whatever red lipstick they like, full-stop. "The right red is the one that makes you feel good," Los Angeles-based makeup artist Fiona Stiles, whose clients include Margot Robbie, Gabrielle Union, and Lily Collins, tells Allure.
On warm skin toned brunettes we love a fiery chilli red lipstick with warm orange undertones. We chose Olivia to model our choice of red lipstick for brunettes with warm skin tones. We loved Rimmell Moisture Renew in shade 510, Mayfair Red Lady on her.
Ideal colours for dark brown hair
The secret to a perfect outfit are cool, powdery shades. For example, nude pink, cadet blue, lilac or white.
Most of the time, pale pink lipstick and blush don't flatter brunettes. Women with dark brown hair should play with richer colors of makeup instead. Tawny or spicy red lip color looks great on women with medium to dark brown hair. Coral or peach lip and cheek shades are terrific complements to light brown hair.
Hair color ideas for brunettes include chocolate, chestnut, mahogany, and coffee. Even burgundy and plum colors would work for a subtle look. With these shades and more, you can go for your preferred technique, such as balayage, ombre, highlights, or a complete hair color change.
Think of fall tones like vibrant oranges and reds, deep forest greens and weathered, brown leather jackets. Brunettes can also explore olive and sage hues, browns with a hint of red or even gold – just be sure to go for the real thing instead of lemony colors.
The store agrees with Pearl and often uses mauve blush on brown-haired clients. Its staff also suggests a rose or even an ashy blush color for brunettes, depending on skin tone. Hair color matters, too: The darker the hair, the brighter the blush color that can be applied to highlight face features and bone structure.
Remember, a lot of blue-eyed brunettes have fair skin, and pink lipstick can add a little bit of shine to their complexion. The best part is that pink lipstick shades, like rosy pink, are great for everyday wear. Plus, they will look great whether you wear them during the day or at night.
Many seem to think that red lipstick does not look nice on them. This is completely wrong, because there's a shade of red out there for everyone. If you have olive or yellow-toned skin, warm-toned, orange-y reds will look great on you. If you have red or pink-toned skin, blue-based reds will look great on you.
Red lipstick is universal, shades may differ from one brand to the other, but the red lipstick (when matched correctly) works with everyone's skin tone. Unlike hot pink, purple or orange, red is the only colour which will suit everyone. Just because it's universal it doesn't mean it's easy to wear well.
In addition to rocking any shade of brunette (whether it be from a brown shade of a 4n, 5n hair color, or even as dark as 2n), you'll look good in just about any color shirt or dress. Red, green, blue, white—you can wear them all! But stick to the more muted shades of each color.
Primary Color: Red
Most brunettes have a very slight burgundy tint that's visible in light; wearing red will enhance the color of your strands and make a naturally gorgeous pairing.
Khaki colors work, as do olives and mossy greens. White is always flattering and makes your brown eyes appear even darker in contrast. Warm gold puts sparkle in brown eyes and is always an excellent choice. Lighten up the purple tones and opt for a misty lavender, plum or soft raspberry.
Golden Highlights
Warm tones do an exceptionally good job at making us look younger. If you're a brunette, add some warmth to your look by asking your stylist for golden highlights.
According to the study, men and women both viewed people with brunette hair color as more attractive than those with any other hue.
Earlier explorers from the University of Rochester in New York have already scientifically confirmed that women in red attracts men's attention most of all. It's no secret that red is the color of passion, love, energy, courage.
Red lipsticks are broken down into three main categories: Blue-Based Red Lipsticks (looks best on cool skin tones and lighter skin, can also appear pink or purple) Orange-Based Red Lipsticks (looks best on warm skin tones, can also appear yellow)
Red Lipstick options are usually a range of blue, pink and orange tones. Blue tones will provide the greatest whitening effect, pink tones are relatively neutral and orange tones will magnify the yellow tones in your teeth.
