Hair and Makeup Help!!

~ Joseph Kellner ~ Leave a comment

There are two important hair and makeup facts that you need to be aware of. First, the best hair and makeup can only be achieved with the use of the right hair and makeup product for you and the proper technique to do them. Second, you need to know that there is not really a universal hair and makeup style that will fit everyone. You need to keep trying on different looks until you find one that will truly look best in you.

Makeup Hair Tips

For the meantime, we offer you some quick makeup hair tips for everyday use. This may not give you a hair and makeup makeover or achieve your best-foot-forward look, but it will definitely make you look stunning during a normal work day:

1. Clean your skin quick. To remove oils and refresh your makeup, mist up with face with your toner, pat and even out with tissue, then finish with loose powder.

2. Lighten hair locks. Using too much hair cosmetics coupled with scalp grease can make your hair look dirty. To lighten locks, sprinkle some powder (the translucent kind) over your hair roots, then brush.

3. Hydrate. Use a conditioner to moisturize your hair and use a moisturizer for your face.

4. Fake perfect skin with pink. Aside from concealer, wearing a pink lipstick will take attention off your blemishes.

5. Depuff in a flash. If your hair is frizzy, dampen your hands with water and a little drop of lotion, then pull your hair into a French twist. Wait for about 5 minutes then take them down.

6. If in a hurry, focus on your front and top hair since this is what is most visible.

7. Ponytail is not such a bad idea. It is simple, easy to do and gives you a clean look. Spray some hairspray to finish it off.

8. Revive your face swiftly by patting a concealer under your lower lashes and the inner corners of your eyes.

Hair coloring  is one with quite long-lasting effects. Obviously, you don’t want to mess it up and regret it later. Hence, the choice of color is of utmost importance. You need to know your skin tone, in order to find out which hair color will suit you the best. There are basically six skin tones, but you don’t need to know all of them. All you need to know is, if your skin tone is warm or cool. And most of all let a professional advice you and what will complement your skin tone, eye color.

So, how do you know if your skin tone is warm or cool? There is one quick trick to find out your skin tone. Take one piece of gold jewelry and the other silver jewelry. Now, hold each one against your skin and see which of them stands out. If the gold piece stands out, then your skin tone is warm, if the silver one does, your skin tone is cool. Yet another method is to look at the color of your veins. If it’s more on a greener side you probably have warm skin tone, if it has a bluish tinge then your skin tone is cool. Once you know your skin tone, the rest is easy. The general rule of thumb while choosing best hair colors for your skin is that, warm colors complement warm skin tones, while cool shades look great on cool skin tones. However, before choosing a color you must first understand, which colors are considered warm and which are cool colors.

People with warm skin tones have lighter skin tones with pale, peach or golden undertones. Women generally have a freckled complexion. The natural hair color for this skin tone is red, reddish or golden brown, deep brown, strawberry blond or natural golden blond. Hence, if you have a warm skin tone, then the best hair colors for your skin tone, apart from your natural hair color would be shades of copper, cinnamon, ginger, russet and strawberry shades of red hair color etc. Red or copper highlights with rich base colors such as burgundy, dark golden brown, auburn or chestnut look fabulous.
