✨ Red Hair Makeup Routine — The Persephone Glow Guide ✨ When I switched back to my signature red hair, my entire makeup routine had to evolve with her. Red hair—especially the bold, artificial, Persephone shades—changes everything about how your undertones show up. Here’s what I’ve learned (and what I promise will make your complexion look divine instead of washed out): 🩸 Skin Tones + Complexion Red hair will not flatter overly neutral or cool complexions on camera. A soft golden hue (NOT orange, NOT overly bronze) makes the skin look alive, warm, and ethereal next to vibrant red. • I lean into warm-but-soft foundations. • Pink-undertone concealer still works beautifully; it brightens the center of the face without fighting the hair. 🔥 Contour for Redheads Cool contour looks muddy or corpse-grey next to red hair—trust me, I’ve tested every shade under the sun (or underworld 🌹). • Go with a warm bronze contour, something that warms without making your face look overly tanned. • It sculpts AND balances the intensity of red hair. 🌹 Brows This is where the magic snaps together. • I use taupe mixed with auburn brow products to match the vibrancy of my hair without going too red on the brows. • Straight auburn can sometimes pull orange—taupe evens it out. 👁️ Eyeshadow Shades That Work (and don’t) I learned this the hard way: purple and pink eyeshadows fight with red hair. • They make the undertone look splotchy, and the eye area loses definition. What photographs beautifully? • Bronzes • Browns • Smoky taupes • Deep wine shades (sparingly) • Black with metallic accents for full goth glam They anchor the red rather than compete with it. 🖤 Product Breakdown (I’ll tag all the products I use below on LTK so you can shop my exact routine.)
