Ravishing Redheads

I love red hair, from natural coppery red to dark burgundy red that obviously came from a bottle (a color I wore for about two years). One thing I've noticed when looking through some pictures of some of my favorite redheaded celebrities is that they all define their brows perfectly, wear their foundation smoothly, and keep it pretty natural with a soft glow. They don't over do any crazy colors or anything that clash with their bold hair color, their makeup is just soft and neutral, often warm tones that compliment their hair. The finishing product on all of these ladies is just beautiful :)


First up is the one and only Lucille Ball, comedic legend. She was insanely bold, always wearing her signature red lips with her orange-red hair. Surprisingly enough, it doesn't clash - it just looks classic and perfect. In a time when men really ruled the world, she stood out not like a sore thumb but like a beacon of light, paving the way for other unique women who just wanted to have a good time and make people laugh. So she gets a double-whammy beauty award from me - not just amazing for her looks, but amazing for standing out. I love Lucy!




Next up is Marcia Cross, star of Desperate Housewives. I'll be honest, I think I've only watched two episodes of the show, but I'll always remember her from Melrose Place. I love how she plays up her beautiful eyes by sometimes adding a touch of either purple or green, two colors which always look good on a redhead. Her alabaster skin is always perfectly flawless - she's gorgeous!




Now we come to Kate Walsh, who plays Dr. Addison Montgomery on Private Practice (love that show, and her character). She has unbelievable bone structure and isn't afraid to try different looks (like the dark burgundy lips with her dark red hair). I don't know that I've ever seen Kate look bad!




Next up, I've got Julianne Moore. She's another redhead who isn't afraid of purple (she actually got married in a pale lavender dress!). Her hair is always shiny and smooth, and she finishes her face with soft, perfectly matte skin and smoldering eyes. She's definitely someone I wish we saw more of.






Another actress I wish we saw more of (she's insanely funny, like her husband, Borat star Sacha Baron Cohen) is Isla Fisher. She switches her hair up from her natural red to soft brown sometimes, and either way she looks great, although I'm partial to the red. Her makeup is always absolutely flawless, just accentuating her beautiful eyes. Love her!





One of my all-time favorite actresses is is Debra Messing. She really has followed in the footsteps of Lucille Ball by being incredibly beautiful and outrageously funny. Will and Grace is my favorite show that's ever been on TV, and a lot of it has to do with Debra. She never fails to look fabulous, always emphasizing her unbelievably gorgeous eyes and accentuating her brilliant smile with natural lips. It's a crime to be this beautiful.




Mad Men star Christina Hendricks has to make my list, of course. She's got these beautiful eyes and a full, pouty mouth and that fiery hair. Of course, everything from the neck down is pretty incredible, too - she's extremely voluptuous and curvy, which she's very proud of and shows off, another thing I love about her. How sexy!






And finally, we come to British singing sensation, Adele. A curvy woman (gotta love that) with an unbelievable voice. She often goes for the old Hollywood look with dramatic black eyeliner, which I adore. She's gorgeous, and you should check out her music, too!





Is there a redhead you think is beautiful? What does you think makes her beautiful? I want to know!
