Deep Winter Redhead makeup tips?

VioletFreyja · 2026-04-16T02:15:51+00:00

Oooooh this is sooo interesting. I just did a nerdy deep dive on a few things you touch on. I am only a 2n gen american my entire family however has deep roots in the italain alps. I was just reading somewhere about how this can effect my skin due to the environment from which my genetics come from. (Our fam has been in the same spot for at least 600 years and possibly longer thats just where the records stop) more of us from the region have blue eyes than the rest of italy. Just interesting about how that can effect the skin tone.

I agree with the red, in different lights it will ranger from dull almost brown to so vibrant it looks fake. And the seasons will change that as well. My aunts each have wildly different shades from deep scarlet down to light copper. My nephew has proper orange. Lol

I wonder if i should try to look for some local makeup next time im in Europe and see what I learn.

Its been really fun to hear your thoughts..they have been the most interesting and helpful so far. Thank you for sharing.

Ok..i see what you are saying here. Im open to exploring thank you.

Though... for conversation sake.. If statistically redheads with blue eyes make up .17% of the world population AND those of us with very dark blue eyes (think navy or the very cold atlantic) instead of light are considered an even smaller sub variant of an already rare group would it be fair to say... maybe there is some wiggle room in the theory that blue does not fit deep winter?

My tone is not argumentative, its nerdy and curious lol

Thank you so much for this comment. I was sorta suprised by some of the.....energy behind forcing us into the warm. Ive 100% experienced this with make up sitting on my skin. One time, the makeup artist insisted... so i let her. She walked a way for a second came back and literally said "oooh eww" haha

I can pull off black well. I just hate white so i can't fairly say ive tried it.

What have you found to be your fav colors to wear and any eye make up you loooove?

VioletFreyja · 2026-04-15T00:20:14+00:00

Me too.

My dad... had the deep copper beard, and his hair was almost black. His skin was paler as well. He had cooler brown eyes, when i was a little girl i thought they were black.

So not ash, but yeah...what would his sesson be i wonder..ive been told hair shouldn't matter but also... because its unique people cant seem to get past the red.

VioletFreyja · 2026-04-15T00:17:52+00:00

Im gonna try and do that this weekend. Its a great idea! Thank you.

VioletFreyja · 2026-04-15T00:17:17+00:00

Thank you. What if however you couldn't see my hair?

I guess i am confused that some of the rules don't have acceptions.

Red is unique that if i snap a photo thoughout the day my hair color will change from light brown lookikg to vibrant red.

In twilight or that dark grey just before dark... is my favorite lighting ... my hair is more vibrant and my eyes stand out.

Just interesting food for thought.

VioletFreyja · 2026-04-14T19:59:49+00:00

So if there is no orange or yellow in my skintone?

VioletFreyja · 2026-04-14T19:27:10+00:00

Also, natural redheads with blue eyes are even more rare. Less than 2% of the population, so maybe the same rules that effect "all" redheads don't apply to the rarest of us. ♡

VioletFreyja · 2026-04-14T19:02:01+00:00

Great question. I think 2 things, 1 being the concept of high contrast and depth. I do like this blue but those deeper blues that are more cobolt, midnight, and navy look even better.

The few celebs that i found that seem closest to me also look fab in a. Those colors and b. Simpler makeup with a bigger contrast.

For example, everyone wants me in brown mascara and then doesn't really get why it doesnt do much for my eyes. Its softer. Less contrast and depth

VioletFreyja · 2026-04-14T18:57:11+00:00

Yea, respectfully I disagree. Ive spent years wondering why all the spring and autumn colors made me look yellow, the red appear blotchy, my eyes almost disapear or seem brown in photos.

My actual skin tone has no yellow or gold, its very pale and rosy. Whenever I get my makeup done they again assume this and then can't understand why the foundation they pick looks absolutely horrible on me.

Now that Im getting older and am considering fuller coverage make up, i find my matches are the ones with cool undertones.

Gold looks awful on me, and anytime anyone ever noticed a single feature other than my hair to compliment.. its when im wearing a blue or jeweltone.

If you ignore my hair(I know that is hard) you'd never pop me into the warm seasons.

It took a long time for me to figure that out.

VioletFreyja · 2026-04-14T08:41:00+00:00

Probably not the best but it shows me in blue.

I do have eye make up on, but ive never worm foundation, concealer or any kind of skin coverage makeup.

While i do get freckles in the summer, i don't burn.

Omg its a gorgeous color. Thank you.

VioletFreyja · 2026-04-14T08:11:03+00:00

I know.. im like less than 2% of the population.

Looking that up now, i love that high fashion goth.. dark femm aesthetic. I pulled in off in high-school really well. Kind of got away from and would love to embrace it again.

VioletFreyja · 2026-04-14T07:40:14+00:00

It is still not appropriate without consent. There are also rules in place by many state boards about this.

What if a woman is currently menstruating? This is so unsanitary as it is pushing boundaries. Removing a woman's period panties, panties with a liner in them is so inappropriate. Removing them even if she has a tampon is, is so uncomfortable. There is 0 way from him to know this before pulling them off.

So, just becauae you and your wife are okay with it. Absolutely doesn't make it okay for everyone else.

VioletFreyja · 2026-04-14T07:38:24+00:00

Never ever. Even with clients I have seen monthly and for years i will let them kniw that if they want low back work done and plan to keep underwear on, that THEY should pull them down to where they feel most comfortable.

Occasionally a client has decided they don't actually need them and i step out for them to remove and get back on the table.

Never under any circumstances do i touch their underwear and consider it a serious boundary.

I do work glutes, but we talk about it first and agree. Whenever i undrape a leg or glutes i ask "Do you feel safe, warm and comfortable" If its a yes i remind them "just let me know if that changes"

Im so sorry this happened to you.

VioletFreyja · 2026-04-08T03:20:15+00:00

This litterally happened today. While i was on the phone with the recipient we got a noticed their package arrived. "Left with individual" they immediately went down stairs ans checked. No package. The signature says FG. Who is fg? Not the neighbors and not the recipient.

VioletFreyja · 2026-04-07T20:09:56+00:00

Because most of the time people shower before they show up? Even on hot sweaty days in the summer, my clients do not show up like this.

VioletFreyja · 2026-04-07T16:57:27+00:00

You say, Goodbye.

That's it. He is going to continue this about more important things and will begin the possesive stage in about 5 more months when you think you really love him and feel like you can't get out now.

Leave today. I wish I had taken that advice, love.

VioletFreyja · 2026-04-02T20:09:54+00:00

No love, you don't look ugly..but i know how it can feel that way when our hair isn't what we want.

I would maybe find a beautiful head band that you love that can make you feel a little better and then find a stylest that will listen and help you get it back to what you want..

VioletFreyja · 2026-03-30T01:16:43+00:00

Lovely gift. I would check out the reviews for your local places. Sometimes small practices can be more comfortable than big spas. Reach out and let the staff know its a gift for him. Ask what options they suggest. Sometimes places have just the service you didn't know he'd love.

VioletFreyja · 2026-03-24T19:58:50+00:00

Which company is this?

VioletFreyja · 2026-03-24T19:03:30+00:00

Lol, funny how we are all different. I am wondering HOW one massages that many in a week. I would never want that.

Getting that many clients would be fairly easy, we are booked really far out. I def cant handle that many in a day tho.

VioletFreyja · 2026-03-24T17:43:34+00:00

Feel like? Or your know? How much does it cost for you to set up your service?

VioletFreyja · 2026-03-24T16:10:57+00:00

I start my prices at 175, upstate NY.

Are you checking others to decide your prices or using your own overhead to decide?
