Wig vs. natural
Natural redheads can often skip the wig, but heat-resistant wigs let you match exact character shades. Test colour under the same light you will shoot in.
Makeup and photos
Warm-toned foundation and brown rather than black liner flatter most red palettes. Shoot in soft daylight; harsh flash flattens copper tones.
