How to go blonde

“If your natural hair color is a dark to medium brown, a double process service is the only way to achieve perfect results,” reveals Zucckero. “It is a bit more costly and time consuming but the end result can range from the softest butter cream or honey to true jaw dropping platinum. Remember that true platinum is a very cool, almost silver-blue with no hint of warm undertones.”

BEAUTY INSPIRATION:

INSPIRATION: “We wanted a really simple, chic blow out. Kim’s been trying to grow her bangs out, so I created a deep part to pull the bangs to the side. We kept the blowout sleek with a little bit of texture.”

TIPS/TECHNIQUE: “I used Living Proof Prime Style Extender while Kim’s hair was still damp so that her style would last all night. Then I blew it dry with a round brush to create the sophisticated blow out. I created a very deep part to tuck her bangs to the side. I used Hold Flexible Hairspray throughout her hair to create texture and a piecy look. I also used it to keep the bangs tucked away.”

PRODUCTS: PRIME STYLE EXTENDER ($20), HOLD FLEXIBLE HAIRSPRAY ($24)

DRESS: YVES SAINT LAURENT

RETAILERS: LIVINGPROOF.COM, SEPHORA, SEPHORA.COM, ULTA, NORDSTROM

What’s In My Beauty Bag

Spring is officially here! It’s exciting to finally see more sunshine, and to, of course, look good. So here is a sample of what’s in my beauty bag to help me feel good.

For my skin, and especially the skin on my face, I love Simple Skincare products. I don’t believe you need to use fancy or expensive skincare products to keep your skin in shape and looking amazing. I like to wash my face with Simple Moisturizing Facial Wash in the shower or to help remove makeup and dirt. It feels very creamy, yet light, refreshing and super gentle to my skin. I also love the Simple Eye Make-Up Remover Pads. This one is a must-have. Just wipe and go. I seriously can’t function without these. Both products are fragrance free, which is a god sent, ha. Don’t like perfumes on my skin.

What’s In My Beauty Bag

For my hair I’ve discovered U Luxury, aka United Luxury Shampoo & Conditioner – a UK brand. It smells light and very moisturizing without weighing my hair down.

My Beauty Picks

My beauty picks for the day…ZOYA GODIVA Pixie Dust is a beautiful and very sparkly, almost caviar like texture, nude nail polish and is perfect for the office or night out. Kiehl’s Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate is light and has an interesting texture when you apply to face, it turns thicker, the magic ingredient is Vitamin C. Avon ANEW Absolute Even is great because it is light and designed to even out my imperfect complexion.
