Makeover: Rich hair colour to enhance eye colour for fall

Article content

My client, Anna, works in marketing and communications and wanted to refresh her hair colour and cut for fall.

Anna has naturally dark-brown and curly hair. She had never dyed her hair before and wanted to enrich the colour all while covering her grey hair. To level up her look, I enriched her colour using a rich chestnut-brown shade. Not only does the deeper colour complement her complexion, it also enhances her eye colour.

After cleansing her hair with Oribe Signature shampoo and conditioner, I applied Oribe Priming Lotion Leave-In Conditioning Detangler through her hair. Next, I cut her hair into a short-graduated bob and incorporated layers for added body and movement and to enhance her curls. Before styling I worked in Oribe Styling Butter Curl Enhancing Crème through the hair and dried it using a diffuser.

Makeup

We kept Anna’s look very simple as she is a minimalist when it comes to makeup. To even out her complexion I opted for a sheer beauty balm and a concealer to strategically brighten around the face and eyes. I warmed up her complexion with a light dusting of bronzer and blush. On her eyes, I applied an easy-to-use shadow stick liner in a metallic-brown shade and then coated her lashes with burgundy mascara.
