Last
weekend I changed my hair colour from fire engine red to deep cherry (even surprised myself!). As is often the case with home colouring, I
wasn’t exactly sure how it would turn out. If the truth be known, my first thought was EEK, what have I done! But if I think back, that's always been my reaction when I've made a dramatic change - it usually takes a bit of getting used to when you've had the same colour for a while. Although this shade is far deeper
than I expected, I’m absolutely loving it :-)
It’s a
rare thing for me to wake up in the morning, glance quickly in the mirror while I comb my hair, and
have my face look good without makeup. Believe me as I've aged, looking ok barefaced starts to become a long lost dream, so I’m very pretty chuffed that I managed to achieve a shade that’s amazingly flattering to
my skin tone, and especially minus the slap.
For me a
new hair colour always means a re-evaluation of my makeup shades, from lipstick
through to blush & bronzer, and most definitely eye shadow. So for day one, I opted for a similar toning
to my locks. Probably more of a broody
Autumn/Winter look, but I’ll be playing around with some Spring brights later
in the week.
Here’s what
I used…
bhcosmetics
black liquid liner to tightline the top lashes
MNY Color
Tattoo in Pomegranate Punk all over the lid as a base
Revlon
Luminous Color Diamond Lust shadow in Starry Pink along the top lashline
MUA matte
charcoal (Shade #20) towards the crease and underneath
MNY Precise
Liquid Liner on the lower lashline
Benefit
EyeBright on the waterline
MUA matte
beige on the hood...
Do you colour your hair at home? How often do you review your makeup kit shades?
Take care of you,
