Red hair and fair skin (not to mention the freckles) is what we consider the classic redhead coloring. No worries here if you are a little doubtful on the right make-up color for you. Start with sheer (and I mean sheer) foundation. Do not cover your freckles! They add allure and character to your features. If you are a little apprehensive about them, the sheer foundation will even out your complexion without flaunting your freckles.

For eye shadow, blush, and lipstick, make use of neutral gold, tan, camel, and brown based colors. But do not restrict yourself to these hues. Experiment and you may find that more dramatic colors (yes, even the most vibrant of red) can actually work with your coloring.

For mascara, refrain from using black and stick to brown. Black can be too harsh on fair skin.

There are several different kinds of mascara available in the market. The most popular nowadays is the Cake Mascara because it lasts for a longer period of time.

A waterproof mascara is suitable for people who are swimming or those who cries a lot. It stays intact with the lashes and will only be removed by makeup removers made especially for this kind of mascara. The regular mascara as opposed to a waterproof mascara will run easily if washed by tears or water. Other mascaras have little fibers to make the lashes look thicker.

Mascaras containing plastic polymers should be applied to short lashes. It would cling to the end of the lashes giving the illusion of longer lashes.
