Which Redhead Do You Prefer?

I pulled two photos of redheads. Both are wearing flattering colors for their skin types. Makeup is part of the deal, which do you like best?

When I asked this on social media, I got mixed opinions.

I prefer the top. I like a brow that shows, her lip color is warm and the blush is applied in a way that is completely natural.

The second photo? The lips overpower her delicate coloring, and the blush is dark and placed too low on her cheeks.
