Purple Hair

I have been wanting to dye my hair recently, I have dyed my hair before brown, black, cherry and purple but I left my hair to breath and ventured back to blonde for 2 years. However recently I became increasing bored with my blonde locks and I really wanted the bright purple/lilac pastel tones. I was told by my hairdresser that the only problem with the pastel colours is that they don't last,  and you will find you will have to re-dye your hair quite often which I didn't like the idea of.

We decided it would look more natural to dye my roots dark and mix a grey toner with a purple colour so when the colour starts to wash out it will develop that pastel pink/lavender colour. If I wanted to dye my hair brighter I could do that at the time. I like the idea of jumping in but not if isn't going to come out looking anything like the results I am looking for. 

Al absolutely hated the idea of me dying my hair bright purple but I think you need to do what you want to do, don't ever let anyone tell you how to be, how to dress or compromise anything you want to do whether thats pressure from your family, friends or boyfriend. I believe if you do this there will come a time where you will become unhappy with yourself because your not being true to yourself. Its only going to end badly, don't ever let anyone dictate who you want to be, if they love you enough, they will love you either way!

STAGE ONE: DARK ROOTS & HIGHLIGHTS

The first step was to darken my roots with a dark brown dye and add a few highlights to add different tones for the purple to be applied. I didn't want one block colour, I wanted different tones to shine through.

STAGE TWO: PURPLE & GREY TONER

Like most dyes they look a different colour and develop as they are on your hair, the purple and grey looked more like a red but then developed into a dark purple. It was then left on my hair for 30 - 40 minutes.

The purple and grey toner came out darker than I wanted but it was really nice to see lilac, grey and purple tones as I moved around. I knew it would only get lighter as I washed it over time. 

It did come out a lot darker in some pictures, I think it was all due to the lighting at the time.

 In the previous pictures it does look more red but the picture below shows more of a purple tone which is how it actually look. The dark brown roots with an iced dark lilac ombre.

I hope you like it! :)

Coral Blossam

This look is a very easily wearable look for school, work on just on a daily basis. The purple cut crease has become one of my go to as its relatively subtle but also adds a hint depth to the eye area.

The coral lipstick is very moisturising and it doesn't make your lips look dry or unhealthy. The Purple and Coral colour compliment each other so well as the purple isn't too harsh. I think if you were to wear a dark or bright purple smokey eye with this lipstick it would definitely look too much, especially for a work place or school environment. As much as I love a dark smokey eye and a bold lip combination, it just isn't right for certain workplaces. It could easily give off the impression that you are trying too hard and plus I like my bed in a morning.

The products I used for this look are mostly highstreet products so its easily achieved on a budget. The two products that are not highstreet products are the Naked Skin Concealer from Urban Decay and the Exceptional Definition Mascara from No7. It all depends of your view on highstreet as you can purchase these either at boots or House of Fraser which are considered to be highstreet, but they are generally higher priced brands. The the Naked Skin Concealer retails at £17.50 and the Exceptional Definiton Mascara at £10.00.

The lipstick and palettes that I used are both highstreet and can be purchased in most Superdrug stores. The Sugar and Spice Blush Palette (£6.00) and the Hot Spoke Eyeshadow Palette (4.00) are both from Makeup Revolutions and are incredibly priced for the quality of these palettes.

The MUA Lipstick in the shade 16 Nectar is such a beautiful and bright colour and at a £1.00 they are a must have for beauty lovers, I have a lot of their colours in my collection.

I hope you liked this blog post and this easy to wear makeup look. 

I hope your having a nice Saturday!!
