A whole new hair color can mean more than just different hued locks - it could mean some new makeup shades are in your future!

When choosing makeup colors you need to pay attention to your surroundings -- and by surroundings we mean your hair. Whether it frames your cheeks or slips down into your eyes, your hair color adds to your overall look and can make or break your makeup ensemble.

Check out these tips for matching your makeup to your new hair hue.

Blonde Bombshells

If you’ve gone soft on us with blonde hair, it’s time to lighten up your makeup, too. Try to avoid anything too drastic unless you’re really trying to make a statement. Instead, focus on softer tones like amber, peach, and gold, or even go a little flirty with light pinks.{relatedarticles}

Easy on the Eyes…

To make your eyes pop, Women’s Health recommends using eyeshadow in more neutral colors like amber or champagne. Apply it from your lids to the creases and under the lower lashes. A swoop of brown eyeliner along your top lash line and a coat of black mascara can draw extra attention.

Cherry Cheeks…

Use pink to add a little color without taking the focus off your new blonde hair. A rose-colored blush blended lightly on your cheekbones can bring a little extra color to a light complexion. Peach tones also work well if you have very fair skin. For darker complexions, go for warmer tones like a muted orange blush.

Luscious Lips…

Sticking with neutral tones is good practice for a new blonde’s everyday makeup. Corals, light pinks, or even just a simple lightly tinted gloss is all you need to apply to your lips for the day. If you’re searching for a way to spice up your look for a date, a darker shade of red may be what you need to accent your lips for that special someone.

Are you a bolder beauty?

Don’t be afraid to go a little bold if you’re sporting a new lighter shade of hair. Celebrity colorist Michael Canalé told Marie Claire that because blondes start with a more neutral palette, they can get away with riskier shades of hair and makeup.{relatedarticles}

Accenting your face with a shimmery lip gloss or a brighter eye shadow can draw attention to paler areas. If you’re looking to bring the attention to your eyes or lips, you may want to experiment with a brighter shade of pink, or even a whole different color!

Ravishing Redheads

There’s something alluring about a redhead with striking green eyes, and because these two colors are complete contrasts, they complement each other so well when it comes to makeup.

Emerald Eyes…

Try green eyeshadow to draw extra attention to your eyes and toned-down earthy colors for the rest of your face. The experts at Schwarzkopf & Hankel suggest on the company’s website completing the look with a generous application of mascara in brownish-black tones to create another focus point.

Chic Cheeks…

You’ve already got a fiery new color on your head, so stick to natural warm colors like peach and rose on your face. The muted tones complement your red locks while still giving a little more vibrancy to your face. A rosy pink blush can simulate a flirty flush that will draw attention to your red-hot new look.{relatedarticles}

Soft or Sinful Smooch?

For your lips, keep things soft with more natural colors like earthy pinks. Coral and nude colors are best for the lower half of your face so you’re not drawing too much attention from your new hair color. If you want to go bold, keep the rest of your makeup neutral and add a deep red lipstick to accent your new color.

Brunette Babes

The color "brunette" can have many shades, from golden brown to a deep chestnut. Let your makeup add some pizzazz to your look. Celebrity stylist Brett Freedman told StyleList, “The biggest mistake brunettes make is going too cool-toned with lips and cheek colors. Opt for colors that look like your natural blush or lip tones, just a bit more vivid. “

Elegant Eyes…

After switching your hair color to brunette, you’ll need to revise your makeup strategy. Don’t try to create too many focal points at once - select one feature to highlight and keep the rest of your makeup simple. If you want to draw attention to your eyes, try some bold colors like plums, reds, burgundies and even metallic shades.

Classic Cheeks…

If you’re going to let your eyes or lips draw attention with bolder colors, stick to the classic light pink or nude tones for your cheeks. Keep blush even and light across your cheekbones for a healthy tint but nothing overwhelming.{relatedarticles}

Loveable Lips…

If you’ve kept your eyes and cheeks toned down, your lips can do the talking. Go bolder with wine shades or deeper reds. Berry colors do well for medium or lighter brunette hair, so go for juicy colors like plums or reds.

Midnight Marvels

If you’ve made the switch to jet black hair, you’ve just opened up your makeup kit to make a bold statement. Jerrod Blandino, founder and creative director of Too Faced Cosmetics, told Women’s Health, “Play up the mysterious, sexy vibe of black hair by accentuating just one feature with sultry color.”

Emphasized Eyes…

This is your opportunity to try out some of the less traditional colors (golds, dark blues) of makeup you may only see on the most daring celebrities like Kim Kardashian. If you’re focusing on the eyes, the smoky eye look looks great on black haired beauties. Molly Stern, CoverGirl Celebrity Makeup Artist, recommended an amber shade in an interview with BeautyRiot.com.{relatedarticles}

Cheek Check…

Because black hair works well with bolder eye colors, keep the rest of your makeup simple to avoid creating too much color on your face. Stick to muted pinks for your cheekbones to draw out a light blush without looking too flushed. You want admirers to focus on your new hair color, not your blush!

Luring Lips…

Just like your cheeks, your lip color should be simple to allow the attention to your face to lead up into your eyes and end at your beautiful new hair color. A lightly tinted lip gloss will give a light shimmer to your lips without drawing too much attention from your other features.

It’s More than Color that’s Changing

Changing your hair color can change your overall color style, if you’ve been stuck in a one-color mode. Once you’ve made the switch from blonde to black or brunette to redhead you get to experiment with new fashion options, too. Your hair color should be complemented by your makeup as well as your clothing! If you’ve ever thought a certain clothing color just didn’t look good on you, give it another shot with your new hair color - you may find it’s a great fit for your new ‘do!{relatedarticles}

A new shade of hair can also mean new hairstyle options. If you added highlights have some fun seeing how different styles let you accent those tints. Some styles like adding curls or waves can help bring out natural highlights as well, which can help add glow and tune the vibrancy of your new makeup shades.

You’ve taken the plunge and changed up your hair color - now don’t be afraid to have some fun with your makeup colors, too!
