For me, not so much, since I would put it up and keep it out of photos, but if I was “normal,” it definitely would have. I felt like when I did vivid colors (which I, genius that I was, dyed to copper prior to things getting shut down early last year!), I felt like it was harder to get away with ALL the colors on my face sometimes – definitely clashed more, which is fine, but was jarring to me initially.

It doesn’t right now but I’m in the very, very slow process of letting my grey grow in so I don’t have to have my hair coloured every 5 minutes (of course, we’re in lockdown in Ontario so no one can get to the hairdresser and we’re walking around with Covid hair, unless you’re lucky enough to live with a stylist/colourist – thank heavens for that L’Oreal spray stuff). But I think once my grey has grown in entirely, while I still keep getting purple highlights for fun and because they actually look fantastic, I may have to adjust my makeup a fair bit as I will look exceedingly pale and wan!
It’s been years since I’ve had my hair colored, unfortunately, but the most it would influence is experimenting with filling in my brows different shades. If the colors I had (blonde, green, blue, purple, and the various shades those faded to) really clashed with whatever colors I was using on my face, I didn’t notice…and I don’t think I would care much!
It’s a factor I consider (skin/eyes/hair) when deciding how the color cosmetics I use will complement each other.
It didn’t impact me too much because I usually wore the same colours in my hair as my makeup, as in my hair was usually purple, magenta, blue, or silvery, etc. I hardly wear warm eye shadows, but even if I did, I think orange and yellows complement blue based colours really well. My hair was never a warm shade, and my makeup was always more blue based than red based. It all worked out. 🙂
I wouldn’t even know what to do with copper hair. The fade out would drive me nuts–and it’s just so warm a colour. LOL!
I need more emphatic eye makeup with my magenta highlights, not necessarily more colorful but with more presence. Mattes look more washed out for some reason.

Both my hair and eye colors are very nondescript I’d say so nothing really clashes with them, lol. I mostly just consider my skin’s undertones.
I had teal hair for a few years. If I branched out with color, I’d do a magenta lip (NARS Funny Face or Bite Palomino, RIP…) no crazy eye looks, though. It was too much.
No. I never died my hair and it’s just a dark brown, so my hair works with any makeup I might think using.
Yes, it does. When I was a “blonde” (actually just highlights in a light golden beige), I went for more bronzy eye and face colors with a neon-ish pink or cherry red matte lip, but would also do a double eyeliner in vivid metallic turquoise and black. Sometimes went super bright and graphic with purple, cobalt blue, fuchsia and white-gold, too.
As a redhead, much more subdued, yet rocked super smokey 90’s goth eyes.
With my hair now fairly close to what I’d have if I weren’t going gray, a deep chocolate brown, I can get away with almost anything I want.
I color my hair w/ an eye to what will work w/ the rest of my coloring, and makeup is the same. So in that sense, yeah. The intention is for all of it to work together.
I had this conversation at the optometrist’s last week because I didn’t want colorful frames for exactly this reason. The last time I did, they completely threw off my makeup game because my purple frames made me feel restricted in what I could do with the rest of my face. My hair isn’t any different. I like the natural contrast between my skin and hair colors anyway and I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to what kind of colors I can use in cosmetics so the idea of coloring my hair doesn’t come up much beyond deciding whether I’m going to let my hair gray naturally or maintain the color it is now.
I meant to add: Talking about actual hair styles, not much. I might be more apt to contour if my hair is pulled back because I feel like I look moon faced without anything to soften the look. But that’s it.
Yes, my hair colour makes all the difference, as I mentioned yesterday. My skin tone and eyes are cool toned, but with my red hair, the overall effect is one of a warm tone. So I can wear both cool and warm toned eyeshadows (no pinks, reds or orange), I really like my original hair shade – which is a vibrant red/gold.
Absolutely! When I was dying it red, it would start out more of a purplish burgundy then fade to a color that was much more orange based with a lot more warmth to it over time before starting over the next time I dyed it. I was conscious of choosing the colors I wore clothing wise based on the differences, but I didn’t realize how carefully I had been choosing my makeup until I started dying it black and could suddenly grab any color cosmetics I owned and not have to tread carefully to not clash. (Pre Covid. Currently not dying my hair and not putting on makeup is the way.)
I have dark brown hair with a few grays here and there I usually get caramel highlights to hide the grays but I haven’t been to the salon since last March so the highlights are at the bottom of my hair now (it looks nice when I curl my hair). I am quite pale and cool toned and I can wear a lot of different looks warm and cool and they all go with my hair color.
This past year i have stopped dyeing my hair and transitioned back to my natural pale silver hair and it has definitely changed my makeup choices. Before this, my hair was dyed a very pale blond which helped warm up my complexion a bit and i could get away with pretty much any color, now not so much. Since my transition is not complete yet, i tone my hair with Artic fox’s Periwinkle diluted to a pale lavender which emphasizes the cool tone in my skin. I now find that very warm tones like bright yellow and oranges eyeshadows really clash on me. I even have to be careful when choosing a nude lipstick, anything slightly peachy looks awful on me now. The other thing i had trouble with was finding an eyebrow pencil in a color that didn’t look weird. Thankfully Nyx just came out with an eyebrow pen in the color gray which is perfect, not too dark and totally cool toned.
I let my grey grow in when I was in my early thirties. As the decades passed and my hair color morphed from almost black to sterling silver, I definitely needed to adjust my makeup. I’ve had to adjust the vibrancy, the depth, and the clarity of the colors I wear. BTW, it’s not just our hair color that changes with the passing years. It’s also our skin tone, eye color, lip pigmentation, brows and lashes that change so updating makeup is a must in order to look our best.
When I had neon blue hair, I definitely attempted to match it/sharply contrast it with my colthes/makeup/nails. It was so fun.
Not really because my hair stays the same and has for 30+ years.
I did add pastel pink to it last year a few times and did find myself drawn to more pink shades all the time, but that’s nothing unusual, I lean toward those shades naturally, along with nudes/neutrals.
Just thinking it might be a good time to add some pink in again!
A few years back, I somewhat considered it as I had burgundy/deep purple hair and so those shadows I was careful about as I didn’t want to look “too” monotone. Now I wear ALL the rainbow 🙂 and don’t care as my hair color works with pretty much everything. My hair might be “bland” but my eye looks are not!
Yes! My coloring was similar to yours but have gone silver. It’s hard for me to get used to brightening up my makeup. I was never a bright lipstick person but I find I look bland with it now. I find I have had to leave my comfort zone and it’s been somewhat hard, I still gravitate towards the colors I have always used. I noticed it most in pictures. I look better with brighter colors but I feel like a clown and uncomfortable sometimes.
Not so far, but I’ve always had my natural brunette, or some variation of auburn or red. I do like blue and teal eyeshadow on me more as a redhead, but I wore it them as a brunette, too.
Definitely ! When I have my chery red hair, I adopt a more conventionnal makeup, especially at work, while I usually gor for a colorful smoky eye , a peacok or a sunset look with my natural strawberry blonde hair. I also put a more covering foundation, as with red hair, any natural redness may show more.
