The color red conveys fire, passion, confidence, energy, and strength. It's a color that stands out in any outfit. If you have a red dress in your closet and want to show off a look that will stand out on a special occasion, in this post we'll give you some tips on how to combine it. In addition, we'll also leave you with a few makeup ideas for that red dress that will attract attention.
Makeup ideas for a red dress
If you're thinking about wearing red, below we'll give you a few ideas and tricks on how to apply makeup to your face so that you stand out, whether for a special occasion or any time of day.
A red dress is quite striking for any occasion, so when it comes to your makeup you should play with your color palette without overloading your face and trying to highlight the main points, such as the eyes and lips.
Nude Makeup
Nude makeup is perfect for any occasion, as it aims to make your face look as natural as possible. The idea is to highlight your eyes in a simple way, so it is important that you apply a foundation in a color similar to your skin.
The perfect eye makeup should highlight three important aspects: eyebrows, eyelids, and eyelashes. To achieve this, follow the tips below step by step:
- First, add shadows to the mobile eyelid using a palette with neutral tones, golds, and dark colors. This will give depth to your look.
- Then take some purple shadow and apply it to the socket of your eye and blend. Finally, to brighten up your eyes, use a lighter color around your tear ducts.
- Apply a good mascara to give your eyelashes volume and length, which is essential for nude makeup.
- Add a little color to your cheekbones, but don't overdo it because the idea of this makeup is to highlight your skin tone.
- Finally, line your lips and apply a nude lipstick that matches your skin tone. This will give a natural effect with a subtle touch that will highlight your lips.
Discreet makeup
As a second option, you can opt for discreet eye makeup with red lips that stand out above all else. Some women think that only those with full lips can pull off this look. However, this style is also ideal for women with thin lips, especially if you're looking to match your lips with the color of your dress.
Dark Makeup
This is a dressy makeup look whose secret is to highlight your eyes. To do this, the eyelid should be painted with a discreet shadow and you should outline the eyes with a black eyeliner. Also, don't forget to use a mascara to give them more volume.
Finally, use a nude or reddish lipstick that match your dress.
How to combine a red dress
To combine a red dress, the jackets, coats, shoes and accessories will depend on the occasion, and of course on your personality. 
Jackets and Coats
- For special occasions, wear fur coats, preferably in black.
-
For casual occasions, opt for a black jacket or a denim.
Shoes
- Special occasions: For a formal evening, your shoes can be gold, silver, or frosted black, depending on the shade of red in your dress.
- Casual occasions: For a very casual red dress, you can wear high sandals (heeled or platform) or low sandals in black or red. On the other hand, black boots will be perfect for winter and fall.
Accessories
These will depend on the occasion and the type of dress you are wearing. If we are talking about a party, then it is best to opt for necklaces, bracelets, and earrings in gold or silver tones. The ideal is always not to load up on too many accessories that distract attention from what is important: your red dress.
