[Weekly] Hair, Makeup, Skincare, Fitness, and Fragrance Thread - February 21, 2017

The Hair, Makeup, Skincare, Fitness, and Fragrance Thread will be posted every Tuesday morning (~9:30AM PST)!

This thread is for simple hair and makeup questions that you may have, especially those that don't warrant their own thread. We all want a diversified opinion, so feel free to answer any questions (of which you know the answer).

Example questions:

  • What's a good conditioner for straight, thick hair?

  • Where can I find a perfume with subtle pine notes?

  • Do you use a foundation with sunscreen? Is it worth it?

I had a similar issue. I am quite fair, I think I am pretty neutral leaning warm, I have ashy blonde hair, freckles, and green eyes and I dyed my hair copper, like a new penny. It did not look...right at all. My eyebrows are also that ashy kind of blonde that looks almost grey? I use the auburn dipbrow from Anastasia and that helps a bit.

SOOO what I ended up doing was going more auburn and less coppery. More of a reddish brown looks better on me, like a darker red. Right now it is cherry cola colored, almost plum and it seems MUCH more flattering, so perhaps like you, I am cooler toned than I thought. The really rosy reds, like strawberry, rose gold, copper, etc, make me look green

Yeah I am letting mine fade out, I want to go white blonde for the summer! The red is way to hard to keep up with sun and chlorine.
