Best makeup routine (and products) for fair skin and red hair?
Hi gal,


I cleanse my face at night with a daily scrub from Aveeno -Skin Brightening. I use a moisturizer in the a.m. with 30 SPF - also from Aveeno. I use a richer Oil of Olay in the evening (no spf for sleeping).





I have combination skin and although I do have keratosis pilaris on my arms and a little on my legs, nothing on my face. You may need to investigate a gentle facial cleanser that is antibacterial. I use Cetaphil Antibacterial cleansing bar in shower/bath - body only. It does work on your keratosis. My dermatologist first gave me an antibiotic last year, and a 10 day Rx lotion to apply. She asked that I start using the cetaphil bar and the Cetaphil moisturizer for body. You certainly can try these two on your face, but if it is too drying, I would find another.





My makeup routine is fairly simple. Cleanse, moisturize, put a few dabs of concealer (under my eyes for me). If I want to do extra, I put one pump of primer on my face, with a sheer liquid foundation applied with brush. Dusting of powder. I wear some eyeshadow %26amp; mascara (soft black or brown-black), and usually a pencil liner on top lid. Use an angled brush to fill in my brows (mostly blonde brow) with a subtle taupe eyeshadow. Light blush, and some gloss or neutral lip color.
Reply:I have fair skin and strawberry blonde hair (blonde with red in it). This is my morning and night routine.





-wake up


-hop in the shower


-get out, blowdry and straighten my hair


-put on a cute outfit


-moisturize face with Aveeno clear complexion oil free


-apply Neutrogena liquid concealer for and red bumps, acne, and bags under my eyes


-apply bare minerals (foundation, mineral veil)


-apply bronzer and blush


-apply very THIN brown eyeliner


-blackish brown mascara


-lip gloss


-perfume and accessories


DONE!





I HIGHLY reccomend bare minerals. It works miracles on my face!





at night, I wash my face with st. Ives apricot scrub. I floss, brush, mouthwash, whiten. throw hair back into loose bun and pin bangs back.








hope i helped!

Reply:my friend lilly is totally pale and has this amazing red hair, and her eyelashes are also red (which is cool!!!) and she looks stunning when all she does is put on black mascara and maybe a little bit of black eyeliner. if its too harsh try brown eyeliner...


as for your hair, if its straight leave it straight but if its curly don't straighten it! red hair is amazing in curls!!!

Reply:I have fair skin and red hair as well. Basically in the mornings I use an exfoliating cleanser (I like the Regenerist one from Olay) and then follow with Olay's daily beauty fluid which had spf 15. I then use Bare Minerals foundation, Revlon's Colorstay eyeliner in Taupe and either gold or brown eyeshadows, then brown mascara (either Great Lash from Maybelline or Naturalle mascara in Ginger Brown from Just For Redheads) or an auburn mascara (either from Bare Escentuals or Just For Redheads). I also use strawberry blonde eyebrow powder from Bare Escentuals, it's the only stuff I've found that actually matches my eyebrows. I don't use blush, my cheeks are naturally red. I usually stay with just a neutral or clear gloss for my lips. In the evenings I use a makeup removing cleanser (I like the Lemongrass one from Booths) and then a good moisturizer (I use Total Effects from Olay).


I have keratosis pilaris on my upper arms and thighs and I use Olay's body wash for Extra Dry Skin along with an exfoliating poof. Once a week I scrub with a microdermabrasion scrub (I like the Green Apple one from Booths) and then moisturize really well with Aveeno body lotion. I've not had it on my face so I'm not sure what would work well there.


My favorite product lines are Just For Redheads and Bare Escentuals, they have colors that flatter my skin the best and have really good quality products.
