Well…another month has gone by and it’s given me more opportunity to get to know this silver haired girl I see in the mirror. It’s brought a couple of new things to my attention including make up choice. At first I thought I would have to find that perfect color that would go with my new hair color palette…but to my surprise, I have found that there is not ONE perfect color….it’s about different LOOKS. It’s been fun to take the time to experiement with one make up change at a time. Going more neutral feels really soft and subtle….almost dreamy…….whereas, a bold lip ignites more drama. So far, if I go BOLD in the makeup I’ll go more simple in dress..blocked colors and or solids. Neutral make up?? Then I go with patterns, texture and color…perhaps more pop in jewelry too. In this photo example, The nude lip was paired with a BOLD colored pearl necklace and a PLUM blouse with a jean jacket. Today, I am wearing a solid black T with a really bright, bold fuschia lip.
SOOOOO the moral of this story for me is,,,try not to get stuck in the ‘there’s only one way’ to compliment silver/gray hair with make up. Bold/bright and neutral both have a place in this new look—it’s about experimenting and taking time to get to know this silver spectrum:)
