Makeup artist Hannah Martin says that going copper is similar to going blond in that the hair-color hues can make strong makeup shades look even stronger. I've taken this advice as well as Bell's suggestion of using more muted makeup overall and balancing it out with a pop of color.
I found some of my orange–red lip hues didn't suit me as much with copper hair, so I swapped them for engine-reds like Fenty Beauty Stunna Lip Paint in Uncensored ($28) for my pop of color. If you aren't a huge lipstick-lover, however, you can try a sheer formula or a tinted lip balm.
As for makeup shades I've steered away from, I took Bell's advice and avoided harsh, dark, matte shades. I've incorporated multiple hues into my makeup on a daily basis. For blush and bronzer, I use more than one shade to add warmth with peach/neutral bronzes. For eyeshadow, I use various softer shades and avoid one intense hue, like matte black or basic brown, instead layering pewter-colored shimmer over a neutral eyeshadow base.
