FORMULA

COLOR APPLICATION

Use bond in all of your color formulas. Do use

cool water. Rinsing with cool water will help

keep your color fresh longer along with sealing

the cuticle.

Be sure to not shampoo within the first 24

hours of any color service. Give time for your

color to settle.

Dont be afraid of using warm and cool tones.

Mixing a cool base with a warm melt on the

ends will create a beautiful contrast.

Keep in mind skin tones and eye color. During

your consultation, consider this for choosing the

right palette.

DO: Protect

DONT: Over Wash

DO: Keep In Mind

#HAIRHACKS

GRAYISH LIGHT PURPLE HUES

Compliment any Brunette with blue eyes.

GREEN EYES

Green eyes best come into their own with camel-beige,

yellowish beige or mossy green lid shadows.

GRAY EYES

Gray eyes and brown hair are an amazing combination

especially with earthy tones and/or rosy-shimmer shade.

LIPS

When it comes to lips, shop for warmer, rich tones rather

than light lipstick colors. Brunettes with light, pale skin

complexion can opt for light brown shades with a touch of

pink or peach, in order to bring life and radiance to your skin.

EYEBROWS

Your eyebrows should be one shade lighter than your hair.

NAVY EYELINER

A color that goes especially well with brunette hair is

Navy. Navy eyeliner or eyeshadow brings out the brown

in dark hair and goes with practically any eye color. If you

have hazel or green eyes with your brunette hair, then

brown eyeliner looks fantastic too.
