Embracing your age and changing hair color is definitely happening right now.Grey and silver hair tends to make you look pale and washed out.There is no need to worry.You can get back to feeling fabulous with your new hair color if you make a few changes to your makeup bag and daily skincare routine.
Step 1: Define your eyebrows to make sure you don't look washed out.
It is important to distinguish your eyebrows from the hair on your head.You can apply brow liner or dye your eyebrows for a low maintenance option.You don't have to make your brows look fake, you just want to keep them looking natural.If you have slate-colored hair, you can do your brows in ash brown, hickory, umber, or dark gray.Try slate or gray brows for light gray hair.If you have white hair, gray or taupe brows would look good.
Step 2: You can use blush to highlight your cheeks.
Adding blush to your face will make you look washed out.The blush should be applied to the apples of your cheeks.Light colors make your complexion more vibrant and youthful.If you have fair skin, stick with warm and light colors.The olive skin tones look great in bright colors.Dusty rose or coral are richer colors for dark complexions.
Step 3: Light-colored eyeshadows can be used to maintain a youthful appearance.
When applying eyeshadow, use light colors like white, beige, light brown, or grey.You can bring your eyes forward with these colors.If you have grey hair, using silver and grey eyeshadow can help tie it all together.Pair that with brown or black for a smokey look.Always use powdered colors.If you want to appear older, avoid cream or liquid eyeshadows and those with glitter.
Step 4: If you want to stand out, apply dark eyeshadows.
If you want to be a little bolder, look for an eyeshadow palette that has a variety of colors.Nighttime makeup and bolder looks can be achieved with charcoal grey, purples, and even navy blue.
Step 5: To make your features pop, line your eyes.
You can experiment to find out what looks best on you if you use liquid and gel liners.A nice pencil liner in brown, slate, or navy will accent your eyes without being too harsh.If you have a lighter skin tone, you may want to avoid wearing black eyeliner because it can contrast too much with your grey hair.
Step 6: Look for a bold lip color.
If you are used to wearing neutral shades, this may feel uncomfortable.If you have grey hair, don't wear neutral shades on your lips because they will leave you looking grey all over.Try a color that is a few shades deeper than your natural lip color if you can't do bold.To keep your lipstick from bleeding, apply a clear lip liner.
Step 7: You can choose high-quality makeup.
Purchase your makeup at the counter in the department store.There is a trained professional who can help you make good choices based on your skin tone and shade of grey.It is okay to purchase makeup at a drugstore if it is not in your budget.The quality of the products they carry has improved greatly over the years.
Step 8: Protect your skin from the sun.
It can be difficult to apply your makeup evenly because of your deep wrinkling.Wear a water-resistant sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 if you stay in the shade.Wear sunglasses and wide-brimmed sun hats.
Step 9: It's a good idea to apply a moisturizers.
Purchase a cream that is formulated for use in the morning.Fine lines and wrinkling are reduced with the use of these lightweight moisturizers.A nighttime cream has a higher level of anti-aging ingredients.You get a more youthful appearance by trapping water under your skin.
Step 10: Warm water and a mild cleanser is all you need to wash your face.
Before going to bed, everyone should wash their face.Before applying a facial cleanser, take off your makeup with a makeup wipe.Use your hands or a clean cloth to wash.Don't use soap and rough scrubbing.Before applying makeup, wash your face with soap and water.
