The excitement and anticipation of the holidays has come and gone. For many people, the first couple months of each new year are dull and dreary. One great way to fight the down season is to get a fresh look with new hair and makeup.
I was studying the trend forecasts over the last couple days, and one thing that stood out was the change to brighter colors. I was particularly drawn to photos of Claire Danes at the Emmy's. In a sea of smokey eyes, she stands out with beautiful pinky shadow. She is radiant! I think this look will catch on by spring at the latest.
I think this change to bright eyes will pair well with lighter, brighter shades of hair. I love the "bronde" look where it is a brown base with blonde highlights. Jennifer Aniston has had this look forever, but now it is modernized with the "rooty" look so the it is predominately brown at the base, and mostly blonde at the ends. I personally like this look to be a flowing transition from dark to light, on hair that is at least past the shoulders. This way it looks intentional, rather than roots in need of touching up.
Another option for a brighter new year is red. Whether you are changing from a blonde or brown, make it vibrant! Red is tricky, so a great color consultation before the color service is essential. The wrong shade of red against your skin tone and eye color will make you look like you are wearing a wig. You want people to wonder if maybe you are a natural redhead, even if you are wearing a not-so-natural shade.
Here is to a bright future for us all!
