Hair Color And Toning On Fine Hair

~ Joseph Kellner ~ Leave a comment

Light pastels and Icy Lavender’s are all the preferences now with young women. Balayage is the form and technique for hair-color also.  This model had a very dark base color, and she wears her hair in a trendy style.  Her wish was to go as light as possible and have a very cool tone to the hair.

I used a 20 and 30 volume bleach lightener to get the level of lightness desire for the client. Now the hair texture was fine and she did lose hair.  But at a moderate level.  After the completion of the lightening service a went ahead and shaped the hair for her. She likes one side shaved. After which I used a level 9 Blue Violet toner for her hair. And we let that process for 10 to 20 minutes.  The hair was shampooed and a FROST Toner was applied.  The hair was styles in curls as she wished.

MAC Strobe Creme Is A Must For Skin During A Photo-Shoot!

This product is a must for my models when I am shooting in the sunshine. The product has a very nice glimmer to it. And when applied to the legs, arms, and chest it will give you a lovely glow. This is a must for my preparations of my Black and Brazilian models, the product will show up on darker skin and give it a beautiful sheen and highlight. But on fair skin I seen to get shadows with color and that is not what I want in my photography. I always apply this product to all my models for lovely highlights to the skin. And if you are going out at night it works perfectly for you.  I highly recommend this. Work the product in your hand about a dime size if possible and apply to the skin where you want the highlights.

If the product is to strong for you dilute with a little hand creme and then reapply. Work the product in well or it will become streaky.  If you are applying the product to the face I would recommend using a small feathered makeup brush. And only use small amounts at a time until you get the desired look you want. Blend, Blend, Blend.

I recommend the Goldlite and the Peachlite.  For dark to medium skin.

The ultimate quick fix for skin now in shades of pink (original), peach, silver, red and gold. Super-powered with potent botanicals.  It boosts the look of dull, flat or tired-looking skin with nutritious vitamins and a mega-dose of green tea. Brightens and clarifies with iridescent particles and antioxidants. Adds the softest glow to skin in sunlight to spotlight.  Give it a try.
