Jill Kirsh’s Red Hair Style Tips

If you want to rock a red lip, go for an orangey red.
Don’t wear heather gray or dusty lavender tees – they’ll make your red hair look like a bad dye job.
Olive green and teal are your friends.
Those metallic strappy stilettos should be copper, bronze or gold.
Topaz and amber hanging from the ears is a very good thing.
Burnt sienna around the eyes is way better than taupe.
Forest green beats out mint any day.
Salmon is your new pink.
Champagne is oh so much better than stark white.
