Good morning everyone. This is the second part of my article on how to choose the right color of your hair. Let me continue here . . . .
How to tell if you’d make a great blonde
A basic thumb rule is that people who had blonde hair as children have the right skin tone to be blonde adults.
The right shade of blonde
Brassy blonde colour or highlights on someone with a warm skin tone can be harsh. Opt for warmer shades instead. If you have brown hair and want to go blonde, you don’t want to go too light. Opt for contrast.
When to go red
Almost everyone can go red, what’s most important is finding the right shade to complement your skin colour. Women with a cool or pink skin tone pull off red best, according to Jennifer J, a stylist quoted in the February 2006 issue of Marie Claire.
How to hide that gray
Gray hair can be hard to colour because of its coarse texture. If your hair is less than one-thirds gray, opt for a semi-permanent colour that’s a shade lighter than your natural colour (or matches your colour). The gray will blend right in. Semi-permanent colour is less damaging than permanent colour.
Uh-oh, the colour’s all wrong
It is strongly suggested you seek out professional help if your dye job went wrong. Colouring over colour can be tricky and you don’t want to over-process your hair.
Don’t go extreme
At-home colouring is best for people looking to go a couple shades lighter or darker or to cover gray. If you have light brown hair, a dark blonde will look beautiful on you. For extreme changes, it’s best to seek out professional help. – The Times of India

Good morning everyone. There are some women who want to be simple in their beauty and yet they were notice by many. Many said that it’s good to have a simple beauty. Some women can’t go outside without putting make-up on their face, that’s they want. Maybe with complete make up they have, they feel the beauty within themselves. But other women, just prefer to be as simple as they can. They only use lipstick and a blush. With that they feel that they have the only natural beauty.
FLUSHED cheeks signify youth and health. Blush is the most effective cosmetic, too. Nothing brings a dull, lifeless complexion to life faster than a swipe of color on the cheeks.
If you only have time to apply one kind of makeup before dashing into a meeting or a date, choose blush. If you have naturally rosy cheeks, then reach for your concealer or lipstick. Blush can make you look vibrant and awake without appearing to be too made up.
What is the most flattering blush color for you? That is the $100 question. Actually, it is very simple. What do your cheeks look like after exercising? After going to the beach? Those are the colors that would look flattering on you, but in a toned-down version. The general colors, though, are rose and apricot.
In choosing the right cheek color, first determine what your skin tone is. Are you warm or cool? The fastest way to know is to check the veins of your inner wrist. If they are greenish, then you are warm-toned. If they are bluish, then you are on the cool side. – Barbie Chan
