Cross Dressing Makeup and Styling Tips for Auburn, Red and Strawberry Blonde Hair and Fair skin

:Makeup: Hair with red tones and pale skin calls for more sheer makeup with subtle color. When you use color be sure it is carefully placed to create allure. To create a glamorous look that works, emphasize makeup with strong eyes OR a deeply colored mouth. Do not emphasize both. This creates focus to your face.

Warm browns, amaretto, terra cotta, copper and bronze eye shadow look great with red hair. For lashes, with a tgCosmetics brown eye liner/smduger pencil draw a line at the base of the lashes and at the outer corners of the eyes and then, with the opposite end, smudge the line evenly so that there is no hard definition where the line stops. This creates a more natural defining look than liquid eyeliner. For lower lashes, try placing subtle dots close to the lash along the lower lashes. Brows should go golden brown or taupe.

Lips should go with sheer or dark, brownish reds and russets to bring out the warmth of a fair complexion. If you want to emphasize the lips, raison colors and orange browns look stunning on redheads.

Lip shades that look great with medium blond, strawberry blond, auburn and red hair: Raison, Rustique, Rum Raison, Quartz, Silk, Dune Rose, Sheer Power, Cafe, Desert Blossom, Poise, Attitude and Eruption.

Consider not masking freckles if you have them. They are a beauty aspect of this skin type. If you do use a heavy foundation, be sure to match the shade of your skin type as closely as possible. Blush on cheeks should go apricot or tawny peach tones. Don’t do pinks. They clash with red hair. If your nose is wide, slim it by shading and contouring the sides with a darker tone and the center with a thin line of light tone with our concealer corrector kit.

Cross Dressing Style Tips
The scent of a woman precedes her and lingers when she’s gone. Don’t go too heavy with your favorite scent but make it last. Use an unscented lotion as a base and spray your fragrance on top. The lotion will absorb and prolong the life of the scent. Also if you apply fragrance to your wrists, never rub them together. This "bruises" the fragrance, preventing the top notes from blooming.

Use color in clothing to flatter. Pale skin tones look washed out against pale pink and are overpowered by red’s darkest, deepest shades. But fair skin tones, particularly redheads, look fabulous in tints and tones of warm, bright red. Dark colors and long V-neck lines on jackets, sweaters, shirts and dresses are always sliming and flattering. Monochromatic outfits create the illusion of height and de-emphasize individual flaws or lack of proportion. Separates in different colors break up the body and can highlight each area. Light colors have more emphasis and dark colors de-emphasize.

Coordinating shoes and hose is an important part of a complete fashion look. When not wearing translucent skin shades, keep hose close in tone and color for a put together look.
