- Platinum. Precious metals are back in fashion, and in their cold colors, without unnecessary warmth. Such a bright accent in appearance requires supplementation in the form of balanced facial features, flawless skin without redness and breakouts. Pale eyebrows and eyelashes are not combined with platinum hair - you can do dyeing or tattooing, or you will have to constantly wear a rather bright make-up. A luxurious platinum blonde for a brunette is not suitable - it is almost impossible to lighten the strands to the desired tone, in addition, you will have to deal with yellow pigment on every millimeter of hair.

But you can use coloristic techniques that add highlights or blotches of bright colors to the strands.

Radically dark colors, all shades of red after 40 years are not recommended due to too active drawing attention to skin problems. The first wrinkles, pigmentation, and other features of the appearance will be especially noticeable and become a source of discomfort. When choosing colors, it is better to focus on famous women of similar type. Maturity is the time for complex stains, gradients and layering of colors.
There are practically no restrictions for young girls this year.... They can boldly try on a trendy coral tone or layered opal tints, wear delicate lavender curls or a dirty blond. Only one thing is contraindicated for young women of fashion - boredom and the classic approach to coloring. If it is solid, the color should be the brightest.
