Auburn hair, apple red dress...what should i do for makeup?

I recently dyed my hair auburn. I am in a wedding in two weeks and the bridesmaid dresses are apple red. I'm not really sure what to do for makeup. I have fair skin and brown eyes. I typically favor dramatic eyes, with clear gloss on my lips. Any suggestions for makeup colors?Auburn hair, apple red dress...what should i do for makeup?
i think green would complement your auburn hair and red dress very well..start off with a highlighter near the insides of your eyes and branch off into a tiny hint of light green and then blend lightly some deep olive green nearest to your crease and eye. as you branch out to the outer corners of your eye add more deeper olive green and smudge some brown or black to make it more dramatic and dark. only a little though! just enough to make contrast.


for the brow bone you should mix an illuminator and real shimmery gold and blend with all the colours below well.





black mascara, apricot blushed cheeks and some peachy light gloss would set it off nicely. take a leaf out of marcia cross' book! she does her makeup that way too and she looks stunning especially with her milky white skin.

Don't wear too much makeup because you don't want to look better than the bride. Use a neutral color on your eyes and a red shade of lipstick.
either a deep sparkleing brown of any dark shade of green. Just don't over do it. Of course black liner, a tiny bit of blended black shadow just above the upper lid and some gloss for your lips would be great. Eyes and lips are what most people see when looking at someone's face anyway. Good Luck and remember less is more. Especially when it's someone elses wedding. Maybe the two of you (the bride and yourself) can go have your makeup done together. It's not that expensive.
I was going to say that before I read the rest.... put a slight rose in your cheeks, do smokey eyes, and a light light light lip gloss.





Sounds like it's going to be pretty =)
