Get the look: A hair colour refresh and elevated makeup routine

When my client Sam came into the salon, her hair was ready for a major refresh. She had outgrown box colour with noticeable grey roots and dry oversaturated ends. She wanted to add warmth and dimension while still achieving grey coverage.

We started by creating a tailored colour plan that would cover her regrowth while working carefully with the existing colour through the mid-lengths and ends. Because her hair was fine and fragile, I strategically placed balayage highlights throughout her hair using a gentle, ammonia-free decolourizer to add brightness, movement and dimension. I applied a permanent colour to her outgrowth for depth and richness and the result was beautifully blended and natural-looking.

I washed her hair using Maria Nila Structure Repair Shampoo and Conditioner to help nourish, strengthen and hydrate her dry and chemically treated hair. I sprayed her mids-and-ends with Maria Nila Cream Heat Spray for added hydration and heat protection. I blow dried her hair and finished her look with a soft bend using curling wand.

I wanted to show Sam how to elevate her natural beauty in a few simple steps using four easy-to-use products. To even out her complexion, I used a lightweight mineral foundation. I then naturally contoured her face with bronzing powder and swept a little over her eye lids. I then used a terracotta cream blush to the cheeks and temple area and finished with a terracotta lip gloss.
