Brown-eyed girls are incredibly bright and attractive personalities. It would seem that a large half of the population of our planet can boast of this eye color, but at the same time, each individual owner is special and unique. By the way, most of these people are brunettes or dark brown-haired people, but such an explosive combination as brown eyes and red hair is a rarity! Do you want to become one of the few who have such a touch?
Why is this combination rare?
It’s worth starting with the color scheme, which is abnormally warm here - red hair and brown eyes. Photos of models or actresses who might possess such data are rather rare, therefore it doesn’t immediately come to mind which of the celebrities could fit such a description. Yes, very often we see images of actresses and models who are the owners of fiery curls, but in most cases their color is cold, eyes are gray or blue, skin is milky or bluish.
This category includes Marcia Cross, Cynthia Nixon, Lily Cole, Nicole Kidman and Amy Adams. But who can we see at the same time with brown eyes and red hair? With whom to start comparing in order to become the very example of such color?
Star examples
In fact, celebrities who fit this description are very close and perfectly familiar to all of us. Julia Roberts is a representative of, so to speak, the most “warm” color, which is as close to naturalness as possible. She often changes the shade of her hair, then leaning toward darker tones, then brightening them, almost bringing to the caramel blonde. However, in all cases, her strands have a reddish shade that emphasizes olive skin and expressive light brown eyes.
Naturally, but at the same time, Isla Fisher looks bright and catchy. Her dark brown eyes and bronze skin go well with rich copper hair. Lana Del Rey is another lucky girl who has been given brown eyes and red hair by nature. Photos of the singer sometimes give a false impression that she has a dark head of hair. However, if you look closely, it becomes clear that her curls have an incredible copper tint.
Red hair and brown eyes: photos, shades and variations
Everyone knows that brown eyes, like green, blue or gray, have different shades. Depending on them, it is worth choosing one or another tone of red hair, if, of course, we are talking about dyeing. Therefore, now we will briefly analyze the most popular “red” color types, and, probably, every girl who wants to transform in this way will find something suitable for herself.
Hazel hazel
In such eyes there is a greenish, sometimes marsh hue. They are translucent and at the same time very bright and expressive. If you, having such a color of the retina, intend to be painted in one of the fiery shades, give preference to light, light tones. Natural red, almost light brown, soft wheat with a copper tint - this is yours. If you give preference to bright, saturated and dark colors, against their background your eyes and skin (which is most likely light) will be lost.
Two amber
This shade differs from the previous one in the complete absence of green pigment. The iris consists of a brown-yellow palette and shimmers with all its shades. In other words, it is light brown eyes, and red hair under them should be selected in the same restrained, slightly muffled colors. “Border” colors that cannot be attributed to either light or dark will look ideal. These are truly red colors that should be as natural and calm as possible.
Coffee color eyes
A rich brown hue is the most common iris color in the world. Moreover, this color is universal, combined with any palette - both warm and cold. It is easy to guess that dark brown eyes and red hair are one of the ideal combinations (like black, blond or light). Moreover, you can choose absolutely any shade from the copper scale.
In this case, do not forget to focus on your skin. If it is light, use a gentle pastel palette or give preference to extreme coloring, which will look expressive and very bright. The olive shade makes it possible to be painted in darker, but at the same time muted red tones. Make sure that the curls have the most natural color. When the skin is dark, you can afford the whole rich palette of red colors, ranging from “borderline” shades to mahogany.
Brown eyes and red hair: makeup
There is a certain palette that can perfectly emphasize brown eyes against a background of red hair. But it is worth noting immediately that some options are possible, which depend on the color of the skin, the shade of your eyes and the degree of saturation of the head. So, for starters, let's forget about cold colors, turquoise and lilac, gray and blue. Only a warm palette, which starts with beige and ends with rich chocolate, will show in a favorable light red hair and brown eyes. The photos presented above give an approximate guide to those who can not finally decide on the colors.
For daytime makeup, use lighter and more transparent shades. It is peach, pearl, pale pink or flesh. It is convenient to create evening images with the help of a brown palette. You can also use pistachio, marsh and nut shades. We do not recommend using bright green, as the image can become “cartoony” and extremely unnatural.
