Every week, we put out a call for your redhead questions. This gives you a chance to get advice or input from our team of redheads. From beauty and fashion to lifestyle, redheads are in a unique boat, and we want to help make this community a place where you can turn to for all your redhead needs.

This week, we’re answering a question from Instagram that reads: “Can beard dye work to dye our eyebrows red?” This is a great question, and something we know a lot of redheads might not be aware of! Most redheads have light reddish blonde brows (and eyelashes) and often want them to be darker in color. For many redheads, using a redhead brow product is adequate, but others want something more permanent. Here’s everything you need to know about tinting your brows, and how to do it with beard dye. 

How can redheads tint their brows? 

First off, to answer this question: YES! Beard dye is the best at-home way for redheads to tint their brows. It’s relatively mess-free, easy to get the hang of, and super cost-effective. Many redheads opt to use the brand Just for Men Beard Dye . It’s a common brand you can find in the drugstore, or buy online.  Redheads usually use the shade blonde or the shade light red-brown.

To go about tinting your brows you need 5 things: beard dye, a small angled brush, Vaseline and/or Q-tips, and makeup wipes. Wash and dry your face, removing any skincare, SPF, or makeup. If you’re new to dyeing your brows, we suggest applying Vaseline to the skin surrounding the brow. This acts as a barrier and helps prevent any skin staining. 

Step 1: Mix a pea-sized amount of beard dye and developer according to the package.

Step 2: Apply to your brows with a small angled brush. The box will come with a brush, and you can use that but for the sake of precision, we like a small brush. Make sure all your brow hairs are fully saturated with the product. You can also comb through them with a clean spoolie to distribute the product more evenly. 

Step 3: Once you’ve applied the product, clean up around the brow with a Q-tip if you did not apply Vaseline. If you did you can leave it, or clean it up, it’s your choice. The box will say to leave the product on for 5 minutes. For first-time tinters, we recommend no more than 1 minute. Wipe off the beard dye with a makeup wipe until the wipe comes away clean. Your brows should look darker and will continue to darken over the next few hours. 

The frequency with which you re-dye your brows is up to you. Some redheads choose to do so every week or two, while others may go several weeks to months. Your brows will begin to fade over time, and that’s how you know when to reapply the beard dye. 

Always patch test

You might be nervous at the prospect of combing a foreign substance into the brows. That is why we highly recommend a patch test. After mixing the dye according to the instructions, brush a tiny bit onto the tail end of your right or left brow to see how it will turn out. And, if you’re not sure about your color, go one shade lighter. You can always leave it on longer, but the biggest issue is that people’s brows get tinted too dark and they’re unhappy with how dark they are.

How do you style your new brows? 

Having tinted brows is a game changer. You’ll wake up with darker brows every single day and it won’t wash off when you shower, sweat, or swim. To style your new brows, we love the Finally Have Brows® Clear Brow Gel for shaping and taming. You can also use the Finally Have Brows® Ultra Fine Pencil to define and fill sparse areas. When you need a full glam look, Finally Have Brows® Tinted Brow Gels are the perfect addition and will blend seamlessly with your brow color.

Shop Finally Have Brows: $26.99

Disclaimer: Make sure to always patch test and use with caution.

For most redheads, the blonde brow struggle is real. Redheads often have lighter eyebrows compared to their hair color due to variations in melanin production. The same genetic factors that result in red hair can also affect the color of eyebrows and other body hair. While the exact reasons for blonde eyebrows in redheads aren’t fully understood, it’s likely related to the interplay of different pigmentation genes and how they influence melanin distribution throughout the body.

But putting science being us, the real-real is that having light blonde eyebrows can make it look like you have no brows at all — especially in contrast with your red hair. We often get questions about darkening eyebrows, rocking the light brow look, and of course, the best redhead brow products.

Did you know there are options for darkening your blonde redhead brows naturally*?! We know some redheads want a way to just wake up with dark brows without doing anything to them. Unfortunately, there’s no way to make the blonde brow hairs grow darker, but there are some DIY ways for darkening the existing hairs in a more “natural” way. 

1. Castor Oil

Castor Oil is known to help darken light brows and lashes. Simply apply a light coat to your brows with a spoolie every night before bed. Castor oil is known for helping your hair to be thicker and fuller and could potentially help to darken blonde eyebrows. Over time, the castor oil can help darken the eyebrows naturally. Be consistent with the application for best results.

Using castor oil to darken blonde eyebrows for redheads has several pros and cons:

Pros:

1. Natural Solution: Castor oil is a natural and chemical-free option for darkening eyebrows, which can be appealing for those looking to avoid synthetic products.

2. Nourishing: Castor oil contains nutrients that can nourish the eyebrows, potentially promoting thicker and healthier growth over time.

3. Cost-effective: Castor oil is relatively inexpensive compared to other eyebrow darkening products, making it a budget-friendly option.

Cons:

1. Time-consuming: It may take several weeks or even months of consistent application to see noticeable results, which requires patience and commitment.

2. Variable Results: The effectiveness of castor oil in darkening eyebrows can vary from person to person, depending on factors like hair type, genetics, and individual response to the oil.

3. Potential Irritation: Some people may experience irritation or allergic reactions to castor oil, especially if they have sensitive skin or existing skin conditions. It’s essential to perform a patch test before applying it to the eyebrows regularly.

Overall, while castor oil offers a natural and affordable option for darkening blonde eyebrows for redheads, it requires patience and may not be suitable for everyone due to potential skin reactions and variable results.

Castor Oil: $16

2. Henna

This natural vegetable dye can be used to tint your brows more “naturally.” Beware, henna can sometimes turn your brow hairs green if not done properly. 

To darken blonde eyebrows with henna, choose a shade like light brown or auburn. Mix henna powder with water to form a paste. Clean brows, apply petroleum jelly around them, and use a brush to apply the paste. Let it dry for 30 mins to an hour, then leave it on for hours or overnight. Remove excess and avoid cleansers for 24 hours. Always patch test before use.

Using henna on blonde brows has its pros and cons:

Pros:

1. Natural Option: Henna is a natural dye derived from plants, making it a chemical-free alternative for coloring eyebrows.

2. Long-lasting Color: Henna can provide longer-lasting color compared to some other eyebrow tinting methods, typically lasting for several weeks.

3. Customizable Shades: Henna comes in various shades, allowing you to choose a color that matches your desired eyebrow shade, including options suitable for redheads.

Cons:

1. Limited Color Options: While henna offers a range of shades, the color outcome may still be limited compared to synthetic eyebrow dyes, especially for achieving lighter or more vibrant colors.

2. Time-consuming Process: Applying henna to the eyebrows can be a time-consuming process, requiring mixing the paste, application, drying time, and development time.

3. Potential Skin Staining: Henna has the potential to stain the skin around the eyebrows if not applied carefully, leading to temporary discoloration that may take time to fade.

Overall, henna provides a natural and long-lasting option for coloring blonde eyebrows, but it requires time and care during application to achieve the desired results while avoiding skin staining.

3. Cocoa Powder + Activated Charcoal

In an article from Byrdie, they claim you can darken brows with aloe, cocoa powder, activated charcoal, and vitamin E oil. “First, mix aloe vera gel, cocoa powder, and vitamin E oil. Add the activated charcoal powder to create your desired color. Apply this paste to your brows using a spoolie brush or Q-tip, leave for 20 minutes, then rinse.”

Using cocoa powder and activated charcoal to darken redhead brows has its advantages and disadvantages:

Pros:

1. Natural Ingredients: Both cocoa powder and activated charcoal are natural substances, making them a chemical-free option for darkening eyebrows.

2. Customizable Shades: You can adjust the ratio of cocoa powder to activated charcoal to achieve your desired eyebrow shade, allowing for customization based on personal preference.

3. Cost-effective: Cocoa powder and activated charcoal are generally affordable and readily available, making them a budget-friendly option for eyebrow darkening.

Cons:

1. Potential Messiness: Mixing cocoa powder and activated charcoal into a paste can be messy and may require some trial and error to get the consistency right for application.

2. Limited Lasting Power: Unlike some other eyebrow tinting methods, the color from cocoa powder and activated charcoal may not last as long and may require more frequent reapplication.

3. Variable Results: The effectiveness of cocoa powder and activated charcoal in darkening eyebrows can vary depending on factors such as hair type, skin tone, and individual response to the ingredients, leading to inconsistent results.

Overall, while cocoa powder and activated charcoal offer a natural and cost-effective option for darkening redhead brows, they may require more effort and maintenance compared to other eyebrow tinting methods, and results can vary.

Bonus: Simply invest in Finally Have Brows®

Now these tricks may work for some redheads, but might not work for all redheads. For long-term brow darkening we suggest getting a brow tint or even tinting them yourself at home. For redheads who don’t want to commit to darker brows all the time, just use Finally Have Brows®! The universal red shade works for all redheads and our array of brow products will help you to tint, tame, define, and fill your redhead brows in a natural-looking way. 

*DISCLAIMERS:

If you use any products on your eyes, the FDA urges you to follow these safety tips:

  • If any eye cosmetic causes irritation, stop using it immediately. If irritation persists, see a doctor.
  • Avoid using eye cosmetics if you have an eye infection or the skin around the eye is inflamed. Wait until the area is healed. Discard any eye cosmetics you were using when you got the infection.
  • Be aware that there are bacteria on your hands that, if placed in the eye, could cause infections. Wash your hands before applying eye cosmetics.
  • Make sure that any instrument you place in the eye area is clean.
  • Don’t share your cosmetics. Another person’s bacteria may be hazardous to you.
  • Don’t allow cosmetics to become covered with dust or contaminated with dirt or soil. Keep containers clean.
  • Don’t use old containers of eye cosmetics. Manufacturers usually recommend discarding mascara two to four months after purchase.
  • Discard dried-up mascara. Don’t add saliva or water to moisten it. The bacteria from your mouth may grow in the mascara and cause infection. Adding water may introduce bacteria and will dilute the preservative that is intended to protect against microbial growth.
  • Don’t store cosmetics at temperatures above 85 degrees F. Cosmetics held for long periods in hot cars, for example, are more susceptible to deterioration of the preservative.
  • When applying or removing eye cosmetics, be careful not to scratch the eyeball or other sensitive area. Never apply or remove eye cosmetics in a moving vehicle.
  • Don’t use any cosmetics near your eyes unless they are intended specifically for that use. For instance, don’t use a lip liner as an eye liner. You may be exposing your eyes to contamination from your mouth, or to color additives that are not approved for use in the area of the eye.
  • Avoid color additives that are not approved for use in the area of the eye, such as “permanent” eyelash tints and kohl. Be especially careful to keep kohl away from children, since reports have linked it to lead poisoning.
  • Always be very careful!

Rock it like a Redhead!

We get questions from redheads of all ages asking about our How to be a Redhead (H2BAR) products. We get many messages wanting to know if they work for two different spectrums: teens or mature redheads. At How to be a Redhead, we make products for redheads of all ages! Redheads face many of the same issues regardless of age and can rely on our products through every stage of life. We know most makeup and beauty items are geared toward women in their 20s-40s, but let’s dive into why they can be used by all ages.

Why H2BAR products are great for teens 

For young tweens and teens just getting into makeup and beauty products, we know there can be some parent hesitation. We also know, being that we were once young redheads, you just want to fit in. Having light brows and lashes can often make you stand out, and H2BAR products can be used to give redhead teens a super natural look.

Finally Have Lashes® Auburn Mascara is wonderful for giving your lashes just a light coat of color, while Finally Have Brows® can give a natural tint to the brow so it appears more defined. Redhead teens who are using How to be a Redhead products can still look youthful and not overdone while feeling confident. We also promise they will keep using these products into their twenties and beyond!

Why H2BAR products are great for mature redheads

Based on the comments and reviews we get, mature redheads over 50 are huge fans of Finally Have Brows® and Finally Have Lashes®! It’s no surprise because most of these redheads have been waiting their whole lives for products geared towards them. For mature redheads, they want products they know won’t irritate their eyes and skin, and will give them a nice, natural look.

Check out some of these awesome reviews we’ve gotten from mature redheads:

Finally Have Brows® Ultra Fine Pencil

“In the past everything on the consumer market was way too dark, too brown . Even auburns were really to dark for me. Blonde shades were too gray/taupe. At age 70 I’ve finally found the best match ever. Most people guess my age as being more like 50, so this finally looks like me and not an ‘old lady’ or ‘clown’. THANK YOU ! THANK YOU!” – Cynthia

Finally Have Brows® – Volumizing Brow Gel

“As a 70+ year old woman, I was unsure how I would like this face change. It took a few days to get use to the change to brow color that actually matched my natural (now colored) hair but I’m happy. Any chance you have a solid brow color (applied with a brush after a clear styling gel) in the works? Thank you!” – Lynda

Finally Have Lashes® Enhancing Mascara

“This is the best mascara I have ever used and being 68 years old, I have tried numerous mascara brands thru the years. It goes on easily, no clumps, lashes don’t stick together, and the color is perfect! It stays on all day without smudging, and doesn’t cause any problems with my sensitive eyes. Perfect for redheads.” – JW

Finally Have Brows® Ultra Fine Pencil

“This is a great product! The color is perfect for me. I am strawberry blonde-ish. My brows and lashes are very light. This is the best product I have ever used in my 54 years!” – Treena

Finally Have Brows® – Longwearing Brow Gel

“Thank you for your help. I wish this product had been around 50 years ago when I really needed it but I am glad to know about it now.” – Mary

Finally Have Brows® Ultra Fine Pencil

“I’ve been waiting for decades for the correct eyebrow color. Thank you!!” – Lee

Finally Have Lashes® Enhancing Mascara

“As I have aged I’ve developed allergies that were never part of my life when I was in my 20’s or even 40’s. Recently my eyes have become super sensitive to mascaras. Your products are outstanding. Bet you’re surprised to hear from a woman who just reached 70. Waited for your products my entire adult life. FINALLY MY EYES AREN’T ITCHING SORE OR WATERING WHEN USING MASCARA THANKS TO H2BAR!!!” – Cynthia

Eyebrows can have a big impact on how your face looks because they play a significant role in framing the face and expressing emotions. They help define facial features, contribute to symmetry, and can convey various expressions such as surprise, anger, or confusion. For many redheads, eyebrows can also be a sore subject. Much like the rest of our body hair, redhead brows and lashes are often a very light reddish blonde color and can appear “invisible”

Redheads often have lighter eyebrows due to genetics. The same gene that causes red hair can also affect the color of eyebrows and other body hair, resulting in lighter shades like blonde or even light brown. This variation in color adds to the unique appearance of individuals with red hair.

H2BAR co-founders Adrienne and Stephanie experienced trouble finding products for their blonde brows and that’s how the Finally Have Brows® brow product line was born. The line is made up of two tinted brow gels, one brow pencil, and a clear brow gel.

But what about redheads who want to rock a natural brow look? Rocking the brows you were born with is beautiful, and you don’t have to tint or color your redhead brows to embrace them. Want a few tips? We got you, redhead babe:

Finally Have Brows® 

1. Shape your brows

If you’re rocking the light brow look, it sometimes feels like brow maintenance isn’t necessary. But if you want to make your natural brows more defined without makeup you can do so by cleaning up the edges. A fresh, sharp, shaped brow will stand out more than an overgrown one and can help your brows be a little more prominent. 

Perfecting the eyebrow shape involves considering your unique characteristics. Here are some tips:

1. Consider Your Natural Brow Shape: Work with your natural eyebrow shape as a foundation and enhance it rather than trying to drastically change it.

2. Choose the Right Shade: Opt for eyebrow products that match your red hair color. You might need to experiment with different shades to find the perfect match.

3. Soft Arch: Redheads often look great with soft, gently arched brows. Avoid overly angular shapes, as they can appear harsh against fair skin and hair.

4. Brush and Trim Regularly: Keep your eyebrows groomed by brushing them upwards and trimming any excess length. This helps maintain a neat appearance.

5. Blend Well: Make sure to blend the product well to avoid any harsh lines or patches. A spoolie brush can help soften the color and blend it seamlessly.

Remember, the goal is to enhance your natural beauty and create a flattering frame for your eyes, so embrace your unique features and have fun experimenting with different eyebrow shapes and styles.

2. Define and style

Rocking a natural brow is easy with a clear brow gel. It will give you the shape and hold you want without adding any color. You can rock the light brow while taming and defining to help your brows stand out on your face. Here’s how to use Finally Have Brows Clear Brow Gel effectively:

1. Start with Clean Brows: Make sure your eyebrows are clean and free of any old product or oil before applying the clear gel.

2. Brush Brows Upwards: Use the spoolie brush that comes with the Finally Have Lashes Ultra Fine Pencil to brush your eyebrow hairs upwards. This helps to lift and separate the hairs, creating a fuller look.

3. Apply Gel:  Start by applying the Finally Have Brows Clear Brow Gel to the inner corners of your eyebrows and work your way outwards, following the natural direction of your hair growth.

4. Comb and Shape: Use the spoolie brush to comb through your eyebrows, shaping them into place. Pay attention to any areas where the hairs may be unruly or sticking out, and use the gel to tame them.

5. Blend Any Excess: If you’ve applied too much gel or notice any clumps, use a clean spoolie brush or a cotton swab to gently blend and remove any excess product.

6. Allow to Set: Let the Finally Have Brows Clear Brow Gel dry and set for a few moments. Avoid touching or rubbing your eyebrows during this time to prevent smudging.

Using clear brow gel is a simple and effective way to achieve a natural-looking brow shape while still keeping your hairs in place. It’s a versatile product that can be used on its own or as a finishing touch to your brow routine.

Finally Have Brows® - Clear Brow Gel: $25 

3. Fill in Sparse Areas

This might be cheating, but you can still rock the natural look with just a little help. Using the Finally Have Lashes Ultra Fine Pencil, you can lightly fill in any sparse areas. There won’t be too much color transfer if you apply it gently and it can help define your brows while still keeping the look you like. 

Finally Have Brows® - Ultra Fine Redhead Pencil: $30 

4. Enhance Your Eyes and Keep Balance

If you’re keeping your brows light, you can always draw interest to your face by defining your eyes a little more. Adding mascara and even a light brown liner can help to define the eyes. With natural brows, it’s best to keep makeup minimal and subtle so it looks more natural. This will help to keep the balance in your face. Heavy glam with light, natural brows might look unbalanced and draw focus on your face downward. 

Finally Have Lashes® - Perfectly Brown: $30 

Rock it like a Redhead!

Investing in skincare and beauty products can be a labor of love, and sometimes it’s hard to know if your products are actually working. We’re in a society where many of us want immediate gratification. The truth about skincare is hard for some to hear.

Beauty products aren’t just makeup, they are also grooming products. Keeping yourself groomed and looking good just takes and little time and effort, but you can level up the process by using grooming products. One of our favorite grooming products for men? Brow gel! We recommend a clear brow gel, but men can absolutely use tinted brow gel too.

Finally Have Brows® - Clear Brow Gel

Clear brow gel is the perfect way to tame rouge brow hairs and give your brows a more groomed look, no waxing, plucking, or shaping is needed! Clear brow gel is used by male celebrities every single day. Red carpet events, public appearances, photoshoots, and on movie sets, the male celebrities you look up to need to look their best and a clear brow gel is absolutely among the arsenal of products they use. 

Maybe you love your natural brow shape and don’t want it to change. Using a brow gel doesn’t mean you have to give your brows a more feminine shape either, you can keep your natural shape but just lock any pesky stray hairs in place. That means you can come home at night and find your brows looking just like they did when you left the house in the morning. 

And if you’re a redhead male who has light brows? There’s no shame in using a tinted brow gel. It will add color and help to define your brows which frame your face and eyes. Many men use hair gel to enhance their hairstyle, and cologne to level up smell, so why not use a brow gel to get nice-looking brows?

Finally Have Brows®

Let’s face it, the redhead brow struggle is real. Having light and/or sparse eyebrows can leave your face feeling empty and even a little washed out. Brows frame the face and the eyes, enhancing your overall look. Microblading might seem like a good option, but it’s expensive, time-consuming, and has to be touched up regularly. Instead of shelling out all that money, here’s what you can do instead:

Add Natural-Looking Color:

Get a natural-looking brow color with the Finally Have Brows® Universal Red color. Available in Volumizing and Longwearing formulas, it’s the perfect way to add color to your light brows. It can also help to tame brows while styling. 

Finally Have Brows®

Fill in sparse areas:

For sparse brows, the Finally Have Brows® Ultra Fine Brow Pencil is a MUST. It helps fill in sparse areas and make your brows look fuller, thicker, and more even. Its Universal Red shade can be paired with any other Finally Have Brows® product for the complete brow look. This product is also perfect if you’re a redhead who tints their brows but has sparse areas that need filling in. 

Finally Have Brows® Ultra Fine Brow Pencil

Tame and lock in place:

A pro of microblading is your brows are always locked into one place, but this can make it hard to adjust your brow style. Instead, tame and lock in your brows with either the tinted brow gel collection or the Finally Have Brows® Clear Brow Gel. 

Finally Have Brows® Clear Brow Gel

You don’t need an expensive brow treatment to get the brows of your dreams. Finally Have Brows® was made for redheads by redheads because we know the struggle! Say “bye-bye” to light, sparse, or unruly brows and “hello” to gorgeous, natural-looking redhead brows you can do in seconds.

Pairing down your beauty items for a trip is a work of art. You have to make sure you have everything you need while also packing light. There are a few beauty essentials you need to bring on your winter vacay, so if you’re ditching the cold winter weather for someplace warm, first off we’re jealous. Second, make sure you have these five items in your redhead beauty bag

Tinted Moisturizer with SPF:

Heading to warmer weather means you need something lightweight for your skin to even complexion without feeling heavy or cakey. The best option is something with SPF to keep you protected while you’re enjoying the sun. We opt for bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturizer for Face with SPF 30 + Hyaluronic Acid. It’s fragrance-free, light on the skin, and offers just enough coverage. It’s perfect for your vacation, and you’ll want to keep using it long after you get home. 

bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturizer: $39

Mascara:

If you like a natural look on vacation, you need redhead mascara. Finally Have Lashes® gives you the perfect amount of tint, volume and lift while keeping your lashes looking natural. Finally Have Lashes® Enhancing Mascara is made for redheads by redheads and it’s a must-have for your makeup bag. 

Finally Have Lashes® Enhancing Mascara: $30

Brow Gel:

Leave behind all the brow products that don’t match and instead opt for Finally Have Brows® – Complete Eyebrow Trio. In shade Universal Red, these products will help to tint, tame, and lock in place your redhead brows while giving you color and shape that looks like it’s natural.

Finally Have Brows® - Complete Eyebrow Trio: $105

Leave-In Conditioner Spray:

Having a good leave-in conditioner is a must on vacation. If you’re in and out of the pool or the ocean you need to keep your hair healthy, happy, and hydrated. We love L’Oréal Paris 21-in-1 Leave In Conditioner Spray so much that we even featured it in an H2BAR Box.

L’Oréal Paris 21-in-1 Leave In Conditioner Spray: $13

Lipstick:

You need a good lipstick for your nights out, and Finally Bold is the perfect choice for redheads. We made this lipstick with all the qualities we’ve come to love in different lipsticks over the years, and chose custom blend redhead-friendly colors. Add Finally Bold® – Lipsticks for Redheads to your beauty bag this winter vacay season. 

Finally Bold® - Lipsticks for Redheads: $26

You know we have makeup and hair care lines, right? We sure hope so! We’ve been creating redhead beauty products for several years now and wanted to share a few things you might not know about the lines:

1. We created the products we always wanted 

Our first redhead makeup product, Finally Have Brows® was created because our co-founder’s were struggling to find the perfect brow products. Instead of settling for something that wasn’t meant for us, they made our own! Adrienne + Stephanie create products that they wish existed in the beauty world. We, as a team, also listen to you about what products you feel are missing from redhead beauty world and create those too.

2. Our products are clean, cruelty-free + vegan

Clean beauty is something we are passionate about. Most redheads, including ourselves, have sensitive skin. Creating clean products that are sensitive skin safe is a number one priority. In addition, we make sure our products are cruelty-free and vegan so you can feel good about using them.

3. The lines are ever-expanding

Our makeup and beauty lines are ever-expanding because we always find new ways to bridge the redhead beauty gap. Finally Have Brows® started as just one brow gel and has now grown to include two tinted gels, a clear gel, and brow pencil. Our redhead mascara line Finally Have Lashes® started as one formula in three ‘Redhead-Friendly’ colors. Now, it includes a new formula in four more shades and a new brush, too. We can’t wait to keep adding new products made specifically for redheads.

4. They are made for redheads, but many can use them

Our focus is on creating products for redheads by redheads, but that doesn’t mean they are only for redheads to use. Our products, specifically Finally Have Lashes in Perfectly Black and the Finally Have Brows Gel in Clear can be used by anyone, any hair color, and any skin tone. We know redheads come in all forms and even non-redheads can enjoy our products. 

5. We create custom shades

Redhead makeup is severely lacking, and some makeup targeted towards redheads isn’t really made for redheads. We custom formulated our makeup shades to make universal red, auburn, and brown shades that are flattering and natural looking on all redheads.

Rock it like a Redhead!
