My best friend is getting married and wants me to do her makeup...She is a natural redhead with a lighter skintone, hazel eyes and not many freckles like how most natural redheads have.I am not really used to applying makeup on that type of skintone
All of you makeup artists out there...what colors are best or redheads

I'm a natural redhead as well and the biggest problem for me is wearing foundation without my freckles looking crazy. You have to make the decision to either let the freckles show or cover them the best you can. I really like the way light purples, peaches and some browns look. Pinks are kind of scary for a lot of redheads because our skin already tends to look pretty pink. I also find that brown eyeliners and mascaras look more natural and as far as bronzers go, they are hard to make look natural if she is a pale redhead. Hopefully helps, I'm not a professional makeup artist...just a redhead.

Honestly, unless she is wanting something really out there for her wedding day, I would stick to neutrals and the apricot/ lilac suggestion from Kimberly. You can you really do a lot with a minimalist look with those colors! Good luck :)

I would definitely say peaches and as Stacey mentioned above, brown eyeliner and brown mascara (or black/brown) all the way as black can look a bit too harsh. :)
