Hairstyles for brunettes under a red dress

At special events you always want to be your best self. A woman who is ready to be the brightest at the celebration can choose a scarlet or red outfit. To do this, you need to be decisive, since a woman in such a dress will certainly attract attention. To enhance the effect, you need to choose the right accessories and makeup. When the jewelry has already been chosen, the final touch is needed - thoughtful makeup.

Peculiarities

First you need to remember which colors emphasize red, and which, on the contrary, reduce its brightness. The selection of colors depends on the color type, but some shades suit everyone equally well. For example, orange or pink lipstick on the lips will add sexiness. The same effect can be achieved with coral lipstick. In addition, you can take beige, pastel and vanilla colors.

More daring and confident girls use gradient lipsticks from black to red and bright scarlet ones in their lip makeup, which repeat the color of the outfit. It is desirable that the color of the lipstick matches the color of the dress (although this does not apply to all color types) or is more saturated, but not too bright.

Pearlescent lipsticks and lip glosses are not suitable for the look; it is better to choose matte shades.

Not all women prefer lipstick when applying makeup. They can choose lip gloss to go with a red dress. Its shade can be pink, brown (this color is unacceptable for lipsticks in this makeup), red. It is in this makeup, like no other, that you need to choose what the emphasis will be on: on the lips or on the eyes. Often this choice depends on the color type that a woman considers herself to be.

Exceptions when choosing an accent are makeup in nude tones, but you should be careful with them, as they will not suit every red dress.

Legendary make up

The legendary beauty Marilyn Monroe loved the color red. Thanks to him, men fell at her feet. Modern women can also use the tricks of a movie star.

For makeup under Marilyn Monroe, light beige, white and silver shades of shadows are suitable. This makeup is universal, it will suit all women, regardless of hair color and color type. It suits blondes best, but Monroe's makeup will be spectacular on brunettes and redheads.

1. Girls whose color type is Winter, black shadows are suitable, for the rest - light pink and pearlescent. To do the right makeup a la Marilyn Monroe, you need to carefully but gently powder your eyelids. You need to apply light shadows on them. Depending on the wishes and the celebration ahead, the shadows can be taken white. Silver shades will be no less successful in this case.
2. The next step is to apply black eyeliner. With its help you need to draw arrows in a retro style to enlarge your eyes. This arrow has a thin base and a wide end.
3. After applying mascara you should move on to eyebrow makeup. The color should not be too dark and radically different from natural, otherwise the makeup will look vulgar.
4. For lip makeup you will need a pencil and scarlet lipstick. You need to work on your lips carefully to give them drama. The last stage of makeup for Marilyn will be working with the cheeks.
5. Apply light blush to your cheekbones. Without them, your face may look flat, and this will spoil the impression of a bright dress.

How to do makeup in the style of Marilyn Monroe, see the video below.

Red dresses come in different colors to suit different occasions. Therefore, one cannot ignore the specifics of the event when applying makeup. First of all, you need to distinguish between evening and daytime makeup. The first will emphasize the girl’s confidence, and the second will be her companion on weekdays.

Most often, a red dress is chosen for events that are held in the evening, although during the day a girl in red can look stunning. Makeup for a red dress will suit everyone: blondes, fair-haired, redheads, brunettes (the red-black combination always attracts attention first). But it will look good if you apply it responsibly, because a bright outfit will certainly attract the attention of others.

Girls often choose a red dress for prom. The hairstyle for this outfit should not be complicated. Often women choose loose and slightly curled hair for a red outfit, without making complex hairstyles.

Evening

Bright girls who choose a red dress should focus either on their lips or on their eyes. For evening makeup, make-up in the “smoky eye” style is best suited. Women of the Winter color type can do it in smoky gray tones, the rest - in classic shades.

Fair-skinned girls will look brighter if they focus on their lips. This kind of makeup is often chosen to go with a red dress. Sexy scarlet lips on girls with porcelain skin should perfectly match their nails. Manicure in this case requires a special approach.

Girls with full lips should beware of such makeup, it may not suit them. If you still want to focus on the lips, the choice should be made in favor of desaturated and soft shades of lipstick. With this makeup, the eyes should be emphasized with eyeliner. If the choice falls on shadows, then they should be gold or silver with glitter.

Mascara should not be applied too thickly. For any skin type, shimmering powder will look spectacular in evening makeup.

Girls with different hair colors should also have different make-up. The first stage of makeup is the same for everyone: you need to cleanse your facial skin, hide uneven skin imperfections and apply powder.

For dark-haired people

Brunettes will have the hardest time applying makeup for this outfit, since this type requires the most precision in strokes. If not only your hair is dark, but also your skin, then pink shades are contraindicated. They, in combination with a red dress, will enhance all the unevenness and give the skin an unpleasant pink color, which will look vulgar.

1. Let's start with eye makeup, for which you will need shadows and a charcoal pencil. The colors of the shadows should be: white, gray and black. First we apply white ones, covering the entire eyelid with them. Next, we cover the skin with gray shadows near the eyebrows. As a result of this action, you should get a thin gray stripe or, in other words, a semi-oval.
2. Next we take a charcoal pencil. It should be applied to the entire eyelid: both the lower and upper parts. This way the image will not look too harsh. Black shadows will add a soft look. We complete eye makeup for brunettes by applying voluminous black mascara.
3. New make-up style, which is very popular, is best suited in this case. This ombre style. To make it, you will again need a black pencil. It should be applied to the contour so that the lips appear narrow. They may seem very dark, but this will not last long. Next, you need a lipstick of a suitable color, onto which you apply a pencil. The result should be a gradient that will seem very interesting to others. To add sensuality to the lips, add a drop of white lipstick to the center of the lips. The color used for ombre can be any, the main thing is that the pencil is darker, this will create a transition from one color to another.
4. At the end of the makeup you need to emphasize your cheekbones. To do this, you will need to take peach or pink blush.

For blondes

Blondes with blue eyes will find it more difficult to match makeup to a red outfit, but using our advice they will cope with the task.

1. Blonde eyesThose who decide to wear a red dress should be painted with pearlescent or blue-white shadows. The second layer of shadows should be taken from cool shades. They can be green or purple depending on the eye color. You can take a blue tint.
2. Before applying mascara you should use eyeliner. It needs to be applied under the eyelashes. Strict black arrows will only spoil the face of a woman with blond hair.
3. To prevent makeup from coming out too bright, it should be muffled with lip makeup. They are coated with glitter in a delicate tone, such as pink or beige. You should be careful when choosing blush for a red outfit. Makeup artists recommend using salmon tones.

For fair-haired people

For girls with this shade of curls, “Smoky Eye” is ideal. It is important to remember that all makeup should be done in cool shades to perfectly highlight natural and natural beauty. Deliberately nude makeup can look impressive, but the chosen pastel colors can play a cruel joke and a girl with brown hair will look homely.

1. As usual, the eyes are painted first. Apply a thick layer of gray shadow to the crease of the eyebrows. We complete the creation of the “smoky” effect with dark gray. It is important to ensure that it is not too noticeable. Using more than two shades of eyeshadow is not advisable.
2. Graphite eyeliner will add expressiveness to the eyes. The peculiarity of this type of appearance is that pale skin and light eyes look too faded and the face needs to be given expressiveness.
3. Lips with this makeup should be the only emphasis. Bright scarlet shades of lipsticks are perfect for fair-haired girls. Soft pink blush will help remove excessive pallor. But it is important not to overdo it, so that the face does not turn from noblely pale to unhealthy pinkish.

For redheads

A fiery beauty in a red dress is a win-win option to attract attention. But for the image to be truly beautiful, careful makeup is required. This is especially true for those girls who want to hide the freckles characteristic of redheads.

1. Shadows should be chosen in a shade so that they are in harmony with the hair color. They can become brown and bronze. In some cases, beige ones look good. Coffee and chocolate shades will effectively highlight your eyes. The “smoky eye” effect made from gray-silver shades will look very sexy. Redheads should stop using eyeliner in their makeup.
2. Black mascara can spoil the impression depending on the color of your eyes, so you should choose a shade that is brown and closer to your hair color. The color of the lipstick should not match the color of the dress, although they should overlap. It is important to remember that lips are not the main focus. They only emphasize the beauty of the outfit.

How to choose cosmetics?

Girls who often use cosmetics know well what suits them, but evening makeup requires a special approach. You should not use thick foundation. In this case, the most successful choice would be a light BB cream. In addition, a proofreader will come to the rescue.

It is important that cosmetics are of good quality and do not cause allergies. To avoid this, you need to check how it interacts with the skin in advance. After all, few people would be happy about a sudden rash on the body a couple of hours before the holiday! It is important to get rid of excess facial hair a few days before the event, do hair removal and check the effects of cosmetics. To avoid inflammation, do not check immediately after hair removal.

For New Year's or wedding makeup, it is appropriate to use cosmetics with sparkles, for example, gold and silver shadows. But there is a danger of overdoing it and this effect is not always good for brown-haired women.

The selection of eye shadow should depend on the color of your eyes. So, for example, blue-eyed girls should give preference to white, gray, dark gray, black shadows. For greater effect, they can be combined, working on different areas of the eyelid with different colors and different brushes. The same applies to green-eyed girls.

In red, women with brown eyes will have effects if they choose light shadows. In addition, makeup with arrows extended towards the base will be successful for them.

Quite often, fashionistas, when creating their stylish image, forget about two more important components - makeup and hair.

After reading this article, you will learn about which hairstyle will suit a red dress best, and how to choose a hairstyle that will look perfect with a floor-length dress.

We will also consider in detail the dependence of this choice on the type of cut of the dress itself and mention the main and most serious possible mistakes.

Choosing a hairstyle for a red dress based on your face shape ↑

As you know, there are six types of faces: oval, round, triangular, pear-shaped, elongated and square. Of course, each person’s face shape is individual, but the main types are exactly the same, the rest are minor variations of these geometric shapes.

The oval face is the most versatile. For owners of this shape, almost any hairstyle is suitable, since an oval face has no visual flaws and there is no need to hide anything on it.

A round face needs visual lengthening. This task is accomplished perfectly with hairstyles that concentrate the bulk of the hair in the upper part, as if pulling the face upward. In addition, you can add oblique or long bangs, which will also cope well with this task. The main thing to remember is to avoid any rounded elements, be it ringlets or just curls. Their presence makes the face visually even more round.

A triangular face requires a hairstyle in which the main volume of hair will be concentrated in the lower part at the level of the cheeks. This will somewhat align the shape of the oval and make its borders smooth. Also, a hairstyle in the form of straight hair down on both sides is perfect for this type of face.

Having a pear-shaped face forces you to use hairstyles that simultaneously hide the powerful lower part of the chin and also create volume in the narrow upper area at eye level. With this type of oval face, short haircuts should be avoided.

It is advisable to visually compress an elongated face a little vertically. To do this, choose hairstyles that create volume on the sides. A simple hairstyle with loose hair placed on the left and right would also be a good choice.

A square face should be slightly elongated. It is also possible to add volume on the sides in order to slightly hide the wide part. Having bangs is a must.

Choosing a hairstyle for a red dress based on your hair type ↑

In this part of the article, we will consider only those cases where choosing a hairstyle may cause some difficulties due to some characteristics of your hair.

If you are confused about choosing a hairstyle because you have short hair, then you should remember the following. A short haircut in itself is quite universal; it allows you to keep all the attention on the accent in the outfit, in our case it is such a bright item as a red dress.

Therefore, you don’t need to spend too much time choosing a hairstyle in this case. If you really want, you can add any accessory to your hair, for example, a wreath or a small red hat will do. Just remember that there should not be more than one such element in a harmonious bow.

Very long hair is good because you can do a large number of different hairstyles with it. If you are not happy with such variety, then experts recommend choosing the most optimal option - a ponytail. In addition, you can braid your long hair into a thick braid, it looks quite interesting and the braid in this case acts as an independent accessory, and this solution is suitable for both blondes and brunettes.

For oily and easily stained hair types, you should not choose hairstyles with hair completely or even partially down. The most correct decision in this case is to choose a high hairstyle. Also remember that using too many styling products will dirty your hair even faster, so this should be avoided.

Thin and damaged hair is best collected in a bun at the top of the head. It is better to immediately discard loose styling options, since a red dress concentrates attention on the shortcomings of the hair and visually enhances them. If you really want to, you can, of course, resort to thinning; this will temporarily give your hair the necessary volume.

Choosing a hairstyle for a red dress based on the cut of the dress ↑

For models of red dresses that have a neckline, a hairstyle in the form of a voluminous bun on the top of the head is perfect. In addition, you can experiment with different updo hairstyles. The main thing you shouldn’t forget is that the neck and neck should be as open as possible. If desired, you can lower individual strands or curls on the sides of your face.

If the red dress looks like a kind of tunic and is made of thin fabric, which is gathered into many folds, then exclusively voluminous hairstyles are recommended for such a look. Light curling while maintaining maximum volume is perfect. In this option, it is also possible to add all kinds of accessories to the hair, such as large hairpins and the like.

A long and elegant red dress looks most harmonious with a braid wrapped around the head. In addition, this hairstyle is also suitable for those models who have deep cutouts in the neckline or on the back.

In cases where the dress has an unusual cut, very different from the classic options, it is ideally complemented by a hairstyle with loose or simply collected hair. Excessive complexity in this regard will only overload the image.

The dress, made in retro style, looks harmonious with a hairstyle that has curls. A prerequisite is that they must be medium in size. In addition, the hair can be gathered to the side and secured either with a special hairpin or a mesh. This will allow you to maintain the entire elegant look in a single style.

A short and slightly flared dress should be complemented by a hairstyle in which the hair is gathered on the top of the head in a high ponytail. At the same time, we should not forget that the accessory that will hold them is best chosen in red. This will contribute to even greater harmonization of the image.

Very voluminous hairstyles are ideally combined with dresses that have a shallow neckline. But in this case, you should avoid using any accessories.

If the dress does not have any cutouts and has the simplest possible shape, it is best to use a hairstyle with loose hair that goes down only on one side.

The hairstyle for a red dress can be very diverse, but fashion stylists advise not to forget about your own appearance features. It is better to choose not what is most relevant now, but a hairstyle that suits you perfectly and emphasizes the advantages of your appearance. For some, straight, flowing hair suits them perfectly; for other women, the best option is large curls, and for others, only a high hairstyle suits them.

The color red is a symbol of sexuality, femininity and passion. When choosing this color of clothing, a fashionista should understand that she will attract attention. Therefore, when choosing accessories for a red dress, you need to be very careful.

Basic Rules

First of all, you need to remember that the dress should be the main accent of the ensemble. The red color itself is bright and eye-catching, so there is no need to overload the image with a large number of accessories.

Most often, red dresses are chosen for special occasions - for a prom, for an official reception, for cultural events, etc. Therefore, accessories for a red dress are chosen to be elegant.

To create a harmonious image, you need to take into account the following details:

1. Style. The selection of accessories depends on the length of the skirt, the cut of the bodice, the presence of sleeves and the shape of the neckline.
2. Purpose. Of course, accessories for a casual red dress or an outfit purchased for a special occasion will be different.
3. Hue. The color red comes in a variety of shades; this must be taken into account when choosing accessories.

Shoes and shoes are a must-have addition to any outfit. All other accessories are selected depending on the circumstances. These can be jackets and cardigans, scarves and stoles, jewelry and belts.

Shoes

Choosing the right accessories for a red dress is not easy. Since the dress itself is a noticeable thing, the selection of other elements of the ensemble must be treated with special attention. Let's figure out what shoes will go with a red dress.

White

The white color of the shoes is perfect for a summer daytime look. Therefore, red dresses of a simple cut without a lot of flashy details look good with white shoes. A combination of white classic pumps with a dress made of red fabric with white polka dots will be successful.

There are no special restrictions on length. White shoes can be worn with both a short red dress and a model with a long skirt. If you choose white shoes, you should wear tights that are flesh-colored and as thin as possible (5-10 den). You can complement the ensemble with another white accessory. For example, a jacket or a belt, but there should be no more white details in the image.

Beige

Neutral beige shoe color is the perfect choice for a red dress. Beige shoes can be worn with any red dress, including an evening one. If the outfit is short, then choosing flesh-colored shoes will visually lengthen your legs. To achieve this effect, you should choose simple shoes without decoration, and the main accents should be concentrated in the upper part of the dress. You can wear a statement piece of jewelry or use a neckerchief or scarf.

Black

The combination of red and black looks impressive, so black accessories for a red evening dress are a classic choice. To create a stylish look, just wear black pumps with your evening dress and pick up a black clutch.

But here it is important not to overdo it. If all the accessories are black, the look will be too boring. Therefore, it is worth diluting it a little, for example, decorating the dress with a string of pearls or using a silver belt.

Black shoes can be worn with a red cocktail dress paired with black tights.

Silver or gold

Shoes in shades of precious metals are a great option for an evening look based on a red dress. If such shoes are chosen, then the jewelry should be chosen to match. That is, if the shoes are silver, then you should not wear a bracelet made of yellow metal or a gold chain.

Brown

Brown shoes are an excellent choice when creating casual looks based on a red dress. A calm brown color will “mute” the elegance of a red dress.

Colored shoes

Daytime summer looks with a red dress can be complemented with shoes of various shades. You just need to make sure that the color of the shoes is harmoniously combined with the shade of the dress. For example, you can wear turquoise or mint-colored sandals or shoes with a coral-colored outfit. Just remember to “support” the color of the shoes with another detail of the ensemble.

If you want to make your look sexier, you can choose shoes with leopard print to go with your red dress. But such a provocative detail should be the only one in the ensemble.

Decorations

Jewelry is an integral part of an evening look. But when choosing them, it is important not to overdo it, so as not to turn into something like a Christmas tree. Stylists recommend using no more than three jewelry in one ensemble:

1. decoration “at the face” - these can be earrings or a noticeable hair accessory;
2. neck decoration - pendant on a chain, necklace or brooch;
3. hand decoration - ring or bracelet.

Moreover, all selected items must be of the same style; it is unacceptable to combine cheap jewelry and jewelry.

Classic jewelry colors:

1. Black. The contrast of black and red looks strong and festive.

1. White. White jewelry will add more tenderness and lightness to the look.

1. Silver. Silver jewelry combined with a red dress makes the look elegant and stylish.

1. Gold. Yellow metal goes well with red, but you need to make sure that there is not too much jewelry, otherwise the shine of gold will overshadow the brightness of the red dress.

1. Colored jewelry. When creating daytime looks, you can use colored jewelry. Jewelry in different shades of purple, turquoise, olive or orange will suit a red dress.

When should you go without jewelry?

When choosing jewelry and accessories for a floor-length red dress, be sure to pay attention to the finishing of the toilet. If the dress has no decor, you can safely use jewelry or jewelry. But if the outfit is embroidered with beads, decorated with rhinestones or multi-colored embroidery, then it is better to use jewelry in minimal quantities or abandon them altogether. No decorations are needed for a dress made from fabric with shiny thread.

There is no need to wear beads or a necklace with a dress with a collar, especially if the collar is a contrasting color. In this case, you should limit yourself to earrings and a bracelet.

Other accessories

It is necessary to choose additions to the outfit taking into account the image being created. For example, accessories for a red sheath dress that you plan to wear to a meeting with business partners should be discreet. You can wear a beige jacket and brown office shoes with the dress. A briefcase bag will complement the look.

If you plan to wear this dress on a date or to a party, then you should wear white shoes with thin heels and a wide black belt. A pearl set of short beads and pearls will complement the outfit.

For a special occasion, you can pair a red sheath dress with a black velvet cropped jacket, a yellow metal necklace and black sandals with gold trim.

Based on a red dress, you can create charming looks in retro style. For example, accessories for a red sleeveless dress with a full skirt can be represented by openwork wrist-length gloves and an elegant hat. Instead of a hat and gloves, you can use a light stole, and in winter - a fur cape.

When creating evening looks, you should pay attention to the finishing. So a red cocktail dress with black trim can be worn with black shoes. A black bracelet will complete the look.

If the dress does not have trim, then you will need to choose the main color of the accessories yourself. But to liven up the look, you can use one or two additions of other colors. For example, a red dress with a fitted silhouette can be worn with a black openwork bolero. Hold a black clutch with gold trim in your hands, and choose an elegant necklace made of intertwining chains in yellow metal. Shoes with leopard print will be a bold accent in the ensemble.

Makeup

Most girls are sure that a red dress requires an equally bright lipstick. And this is quite true if the girl belongs to the “winter” color type. In this case, the emphasis is placed on the lips, emphasizing them with lipstick to match the dress.

But such makeup is not suitable for a blonde; moreover, it will make the image vulgar and rude. Blonde girls should focus their makeup on the eyes using the “smoky eye” technique. It is better to choose silver or beige shadows. But your lips should be covered with transparent gloss or nude lipstick.
