Get Florence Welch's Pumpkin Spice Makeup

If you know Florence and the Machine, then you know Florence Welch, the band's lovely titian-headed lead singer.

If you know Florence and the Machine, then you know Florence Welch, the band's lovely titian-headed lead singer. She arrived at the European premiere of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World last night looking amazing. It's a great transitional palette — her copper shadow would be cabana-party-ready paired with a red lipstick, and her brown-pink lipstick would be at home any time of year. It's a good way to put shades you might be wearing already to good use for the new season, and if you have any red in your hair, the combination is fantastic.

Jessica From True Blood Uses Box Color. Zounds!

Deborah Ann Woll, who plays baby vamp Jessica on True Blood, recently revealed that her gorgeous titian locks aren't the result of unfairly awesome genetics or a really, really good colorist — it's actually just drugstore dye.

Deborah Ann Woll, who plays baby vamp Jessica on True Blood, recently revealed that her gorgeous titian locks aren't the result of unfairly awesome genetics or a really, really good colorist — it's actually just drugstore dye. Deborah Ann told MARKTBeauty that L'Oreal Excellence Hair Color in Strawberry Blonde 9RB ($7) is her pick. "It's what I've been using for the past 10 years to dye my hair," she revealed. "Affordable and easy to use. Especially since my natural color is so light. Love the subtleness of the shade." We've been coveting Deborah's hair since Jessica arrived in Bon Temps, and if you're a pale natural blonde who'd love to go red without looking ruddy, we'd say Deborah's found an excellent shade solution.

Forget the image of blond Betty Draper, because January Jones is looking bolder than ever in a new set of photographs for MARKTBeauty.


Forget the image of blond Betty Draper, because January Jones is looking bolder than ever in a new set of photographs for MARKTBeauty. Stylist Mark Townsend gave the Mad Men star a red-hot makeover inspired by Parisiennes of the '20s. January's golden strawberry bob is a wig, but if you love the cut, Townsend recommends asking your stylist to use thinning shears on the ends. When it comes to this high-concept photo shoot, do you think January is better off red?

Do You Prefer Tilda Swinton as a Redhead or a Blonde?

I've always admired Tilda Swinton for being so wholly and unabashedly herself in a world full of fake relationships and spin.

I've always admired Tilda Swinton for being so wholly and unabashedly herself in a world full of fake relationships and spin. For years now, she's been going back and forth between red and blond hair — in fact, Like This, her new perfume collaboration with L'Etat Libre D'Orange, is packaged in stunning tangerine to match her hair. Yesterday, however, at the I Am Love premiere in NYC, she debuted this new strawberry blond color on the red carpet. Both shades are striking on her, but which one do you prefer?

Rihanna is one busy style chameleon.

Rihanna is one busy style chameleon. Just recently, she's gone from a blond bowl cut to a totally trendy two-toned asymmetric style. Big surprise: she's switched it all up yet again with a vivid flame hue. At a concert in Spain over the weekend, she debuted the new color, along with a shorter crop that's shaved both on the sides and in the back. What do you think of her new look? Is it red hot or not?

Eyebrow Beauty: Choosing the Right Shade For Redheads

Have you ever had your hair dyed a new color, only to realize that your brows were in severe need of a color overhaul?

Have you ever had your hair dyed a new color, only to realize that your brows were in severe need of a color overhaul? I've been there many times myself. Over the past few days I've been providing tips on what eyebrow shades work well for both brunettes and blondes, so now, let's take a look at redheads. Perhaps you've just colored your hair a lovely shade of auburn or you've been a natural strawberry blonde all your life. Whatever the case, when it comes to choosing the right shade of brow pencil, if you have gingery locks, you have lots of options.

  • For those with lighter red strands — Look for eyebrow products in honey, camel, ginger, or golden-red tones.
  • For those with medium red hair — Try out a reddish-taupe, reddish-brown, or a burnt sienna shade.
  • For those with darker red hues — Use auburn, deep reddish-brown, or dark brown colors.
  • In a pinch? — Go with a universally flattering taupe, or custom blend your own shade using a palette containing multiple hues, like Lorac Take a Brow in Auburn ($22).

Proof that Redheads Can Wear Red Lipstick, Too

Whoever said redheads can't wear red lipstick?

Whoever said redheads can't wear red lipstick? It's a common misconception, because redheads actually look quite stunning in a red lip. However, the general rule of thumb is to find your right shade of red based on your skin's undertones. Let's look at Emma Stone, who wore this cooler-toned strawberry-red to a screening of Paper Man. While she has warm coppery locks, her more neutral skin tone and cool, icy eyes make the look work.

If you're confused about which red to pick to complement your red hair, don't fret. Get some tips on how to make a red lip work when you read more.
