Professional Hair Color
If you are ready for a change but, like your current hairstyle you may want to consider adding hair color to your hair. There are numerous color techniques available as well as types of color.
There are four types of highlights to consider
- basic foil highlights
- hair painting
- chunking
- low-lighting
Highlighting the hair refers to changing a person’s hair color by adding either lighter or darker shades of colors on only a portion of the hair rather than coloring all of the hair.
You may choose to highlight your hair with a temporary, semi-permanent, demi-permanent, or permanent hair color.
Semi-permanent hair color treats your hair in the most gentle way, as they do not contain any ammonia or peroxide. Semi permanent colors are used specifically for those who are 20% gray.
While there are various color techniques available, you may in fact run out of ideas when it comes to coloring your hair. For example you may be confused as to which are the best shades to match your hair in the first place. If you happen to be someone who wants highlights and you have dark hair, you shouldn’t go more than 2-3 shades lighter than your natural hair color. You can try tones of red or a blend of gold and copper, which would leave you with beautiful deep tones. If you are a brunette, you may want to choose light brown shades like honey brown or copper brown.
Your professional hairstylist or colorist will be able to guide you through the process. You can also visit virtual hairstyle websites, where you can get ideas as to which shades would work best for your hair and skin tone.
Eyebrow Waxing
Another great way to change your look a bit is to get an eyebrow wax. Eyebrow waxing gives your brows some shape and cleans up all of those light, fuzzy hairs. Getting rid of the unwanted hairs makes your appearance look cleaner and your makeup will look smoother. If you have never had a wax I encourage you to try one the next time you are in the salon.
Finding the right hair salon is important in order to get the look you want. If you are searching for a new hairstylist call our recommended salon today….you won’t be disappointed!
Tips for Bridal Makeup
Hair Salons Des Moines want to be sure your makeup looks its absolute best for your special day. Whether you’re planning to marry on the beach midday or in the evening under the stars, by keeping your make-up very simple you will feel and look amazing. You don’t need a lot, nor too little, a natural look is extremely important. This isn’t the time for you to be trying out new looks. Your make-up needs to enhance your natural beauty not cover it up. The following are a few ideas to help you achieve your perfect bridal make-up:
If you are having a facial done, make sure it is 1 week prior to your wedding.
If your skin is prone to breakouts, see your dermatologist 3 or 4 months before your wedding.
If you discover that dreaded pimple on your wedding day, do not squeeze it! Just apply a drop of visine to get the red out, cover with concealer, and apply foundation.
Staying hydrated is important to keeping you looking refreshed. Drinking lots of water will also flush out impurities from the skin.
Eyebrow Shaping
Eyebrows should be shaped 2-3 days before the wedding. Be sure not to pluck on your wedding day because you could end up with unattractive red bumps that are difficult to cover.
On your wedding day blend your makeup well and let set. You do not need extra makeup to please the camera – that’s a myth.
Lip Color
Choose a lipstick that lasts. Apply just prior to walking down the isle. Go easy on the lip liner. Be sure to check that you don’t have lipstick on your teeth.
Line and fill mouth with a neutral pencil to make lipstick stay on longer. To lengthen wearing time of your lipstick, apply a light layer of powder over your lipstick then apply another layer of lipstick.
If you are doing your own makeup, see a beauty consultant and purchase your make up at least 3 months in advance. Then practice until you have the perfect makeup.
Avoid glittery or dewy looks – these are not very receptive for photographs and you may come out looking greasy.
For eye contouring, apply a dark but neutral color in the crease of the eye. You can line the upper and lower lids (optional) with brown or gray shadow, smudging the outer corners. If you need to make your eyes look wider or brighter, use a white pencil to line the inside of the lower lids.
For your makeup to look good in your photos, it must be completely matte and in neutral tones, brides usually prefer a little color. Pastels look soft and pretty, but avoid glitter, shimmer and frosted eye shadows.
- Shine is the #1 enemy for photos
- Don’t apply white or black eye shadow
- Olive complexions should not use gray shades
- Pale complexions should not use vibrant colors
To relieve stress you can have a makeup artist do your wedding day makeup. If you enjoy doing your own makeup but need some more tips, visit a makeup consultant.
It’s your day! You are going to look absolutely beautiful!
