Should I choose makeup shades based on my hair colour?
No. This is too limiting and a person’s hair colour generally has little to do with what makeup shades will work best for them. Even redheads can escape from the coral, orange, or peachy colours and look beautiful in other colour tones. Exceptions to this occur when a person has a more extreme dyed hair colour, such as burgundy or blue-black. In those cases, it helps to choose makeup colours in the same tonal family as the hair colour. For example, someone who dyes their hair a rich burgundy shade should stick with cool (pink, rose, or plum-toned) blush and lipsticks shades. Someone who dyes their hair a blue-black may want to balance this intense colour with striking red lipstick or a more vibrant blush.
