Wedding Makeup to match your hair color

Posted by Azure on November 2nd, 2011

Whether you're a California bride with sun-drenched blonde hair, or a fair-skinned lady with ravishing red locks, you'll find the perfect wedding makeup shades to compliment your hair color!  To find your most flattering, follow the guidelines below:

 

Brunette brides

  • Avoid pale foundation
  • Play up hair color with deep hues like rich purple
  • Make blue eyes pop with bold red lips

 

Redhead brides

  • Green is your color!
  • Stick with warm makeup tones, like peach and copper

 

Blond brides

  • Choose shimmer over matte (as matte nude hues wash out blonde brides)
  • Brighten complexion with sheer berry tones on cheeks and lips

 

Black hair brides

  • For fair-to-medium skinned brides, sheer plum pigments are especially flattering.  Dark-skinned brides look best in opaque plums and jewel tones
  • Play up eyes with grey eyeliner
