“Förresten, jag har alltid haft svårt att se vilka färger jag passar i när det gäller sminkning. Jag har ju naturligt rött hår, det går åt det mörkare hållet, nästan lite rödbrunt. Och såklart ljus hy. Skulle inte du kunna göra någon sminkning som skulle passa oss rödhåriga? Passar vi i starka färger också? :) Jag sminkar mig sällan i starkare färger då jag är rädd att jag inte passar i det :)”

I am such a person who has difficulty with makeup rules, and could never say that a person with red hair does not fit in a specific color. But I can help you with my personal taste :)

As for eye makeup, my tip is to test yourself, if you are hungry for a certain color, try it and feel if you feel good or not - and there you have the answer. It is of course a habit too, but if you are self-critical / insecure it is a YES if you hesitate, and a NO if you feel cross-eyed :)

My personal taste is that red hair fits wonderfully well in the colors:
Eye makeup – Turquoise, khaki green, navy blue, dark purple, gold and all earthy shades.
Lip colors – All shades of red. Dark lips such as burgundy, and dark purple, or bright colors such as peach, orange and light red (I do not mean pink when I say light red, but rather a red color that is not opaque on the lips)

Green is a complementary color to red / purple, and that's why I think it's so nice with just green colors - green and red emphasize each other! Khaki green is then a color that is a little more down to earth and easy to wear if you are unsure, while turquoise is a more vibrant color if you want eyes that are more visible.

At the same time, I love when you very obviously work with colors that many do not think go together, and pink and red is such a combo that many hate. But if I had red hair, I would undoubtedly have worn a bright pink eye make-up at the next party! :) And very often bright pink lips too.

Det är ett väldigt typiskt tankesätt för oss tjejer att tänka “vad passar jag i?”. Det är egentligen väldigt enkelt – det du känner dig snygg i, det passar du i! :)

Förut var jag sugen på att köpa en röd tröja och frågade en kompis om hon tyckte jag passade i det, och hon sa nej utan att ens tveka. Det fastnade i mitt huvud, och när jag sedan blev sugen på att testa röda läppar (vilket ingen i min bekantskapskrets använde just då) så började jag tveka jättemycket p.g.a. att jag “inte passade i rött”.

When I then tested red lips and felt good about it, I realized that I fit in it too! But there are other details like me not  I feel good about it, and then I also conclude that I do not fit into just that stuff. Because basically we dress up for ourselves, and if we feel good, others will automatically think so too because it shines through :)

What I am trying to say is that there is a big difference between not using colors you love due to rules that someone has told you, and not using colors that you think are nice but do not like because you do not think you fit. in it. Do you follow?
