after changing my hair color from reddish brown to blond i realized how incredibly hard it is to pull off any strong makeup looks!!! Whatever worked before perfectly-it does stand out anymore...I have done my research, and is it basically just the golds, purple and plum colors that work the most for blondes????
P.S. i prefer strong looks because i also have bangs so with light colors you can't see anything. VIDEO LINKS would be a saviour also
Loreal Duo in Wicked( purple and Gold)
MAC Satin Taupe( purple gold)
Lorac Baked shadows in superstar( golds , champaign n Bronze)
eyeshadow two shades darker then your complexiion to smoke it out
I mostly like to play around with browns & golds and smokey eyes but different colors look good on me too.. blues, purples, greens, etc. You might just have to get used to the hair color, I think I can pull off pretty much anything :)
Good post Veronika...I have the same problem...I can usually just pull off browns and neutral colors, and a few purples....anything else just seems like its too much and I love the bold looks :(
I agree with Karissa, I'm naturally blonde and I feel I can pull off more as a blonde than any other hair color. New hair colors always take some getting used to for me.
