So, I went to Sally's Beauty Supply and got some hair color and decided to DIY. The colors I got were by L'oreal Preference, and the color was called Truffle. I also got the developer, which was level 20 since I'm not going that much lighter.
Here's how my hair looked. ICK at the roots. My hair was auburnish, but then it turned ORANGE. EW!
During the process....Yes, I'm an amateur. The dye got EVERYWHERE! Good thing I was wearing a tube-top! YAY for Tao! My hair looked like it was bleeding.
A face shot cuz my skin was behaving. This is just MAC F&B foundation + Maybelline powder.
After. The color is a lot darker than I expected. It looks almost black indoor, but outdoor it looks really pretty! I like it.
30 mins after shower. I let my hair air dry.
Nekkid faces cuz my face is finally clear! I was wearing absolutely NOTHING!
Outdoor. It was really sunny.
After I got into the car, my camera's lenses fogged up b/c it was 36546874 degrees in the car. I liked how romantic the pics look. LOL!
Camwhoring in the car...I love having clear skin! See how dark my hair is? It looks almost like my natural color!
FOTD time!
What I used:
Face:
--MAC F&B foundation in C3
--Coverblend concealer in Beige for my undereye circles
--Maybelline Dream Matte Powder
Cheeks:
--OCC Loose colour in Glisten (Can we say HG?)
Eyes:
--Stila smudgpot in gray
--Kryolan e/s in TV Blue on lower lashline
--L'real telescopic mascara
--Stila espresso e/s on brows
Lips:
--WAS wearing OCC liptar in Melange (very MLBB)
Close ups. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the glow Glisten gives me. This is something I didn't get from NARS Orgasm. Also, unlike Orgasm, Glisten actually shows up as a pretty flush of color instead of gold shimmers! Highly recommend!
Anyway, I think I posted enough pics to tide me over for another week or so, LOL!
<3,
Tao

I love your hair! It's so shiny and soft!
I love the new color. It's pretty dark, but still has a pretty tint of red.

Love the new hair color, it's nice.. and those "romantic" pics are hilarious. It really does look all romantic with its glowyness
Nice hair! I love it! :)
i love your new hair color :) and i absolutely love that your skin is clear! i wish my skin was clear~ but you look so happy :) hahaha. yay!
yey for clear skin! You have such pretty hair, I think all asians do. Mine is so frizzy and gross if I don't use a flat iron.
I haven't died my hair in 3+ months now and no roots are showing. I'm super excited, I think either the dye was close to my natural color or it faded from the sun..anyway I haven't seen my real hair color since the 7th grade and it'd be sooo nice not to have to dye it all the time: expensive/pain in the ass
hope grad school is going well!
