- Hi there. I'm Amanda Ramsey, your over 40's makeup expert.
And in this video, we're going to talk
about the hot topic of transitioning
to silver
or gray hair.
And there's never been a better time than right now
to get on the transitioning train.
Okay?
There's so much celebration around embracing silver hair
and it looks spectacular.
We're gonna have a quick look and a quick chat at caring
for your hair while you're transitioning to silver
as well as some of my top makeup tips
for how to change up your makeup, when you do transition.
Let's get into it.
Now, before get your tiaras in a tangle
or your knickers in a twist.
No, I don't have silver hair, but I have
over 18 years experience as a professional makeup artist.
And I am an over 40's makeup expert.
And I've worked with thousands of women
that are transitioning to silver and do have silver hair.
Okay. Now we've got that out of the way.
Find yourself a hairdresser that you really trust
and has got experience with helping women
to transition to silver.
It isn't always straightforward
and just know that you may not be one of those women
lucky enough to have this full head
of beautiful silver hair straight away.
It might take some time.
Bringing that luster and shine to your silver hair
really will be something that your products
are going to help with. So buy specific
silver or platinum blonde
hair care products.
Like the Oribe Silverati,
I mean, hello, how fun does that sound?
It's very bougie, but it is exceptional
at brightening up silver hair.
Same with the Kerastase.
So I use this myself on my platinum blonde
and it does just give it this beautiful creamy glow.
It's very nourishing but it gives you
beautiful creamy glow as well.
They have a mask and a conditioner, brilliant range.
It's called the Blond Absolu range.
Adore Beauty have lots of brands that have silver
or platinum blonde specific products
like NAK, Kerastase and Oribe.
Now makeup.
The first thing to say here is for me or someone like me
with blonde or fair hair to transition to silver,
is not a huge leap.
It's not a huge change in terms of our coloring.
However, if you had chestnut brown or really dark hair,
it's a big shift to suddenly be in that almost blonde
department with your silvers.
So we do need to be mindful of brightening up
your complexion a little bit and changing up
some of the colors that you're used to wearing.
So here are my top makeup tips.
The key thing is we can become a little sort of one toned,
a little monotone.
So how do we combat that to bring
a bit of life and vibrancy?
You know, I love a bright lippy and you know
that's what I'm going to say.
My number one tip is to embrace
some vibrant lipsticks.
Be brave, now is the time with your rock and silver hair
to really
be seen.
So here are some vibrant lipsticks and some different tones.
So it's vibrant but it's still a little bit muted, okay?
It's a bit what I would call a safe, vibrant color.
But you get the idea.
And you can build up to your sort of cooler tones,
sort of your warmer tone, your cooler tone, vibrant lip.
This would look amazing with your
silver
hair and it just brings...
(soft music)
Brings a beautiful contrast to your silver hair.
So a lovely, bright fuchsia pink,
rock melon
tones and of course it is a red for everyone.
I'm just gonna lay this over the top of the pink.
(soft music)
It is an instant complexion lifter.
So play around,
experiment with some brighter more vibrant lipstick colors.
Okay. Next is a pop of blush.
Just don't forget to use
blush.
I love this peachy, apricot tones and pinky,
pinky peachy tones
suit all
skin tones and they do a great job
at really lifting your complexion
and giving some
fun,
vibrancy and contrast
to your hair.
So I've just used the Clinique chubby stick
in the color,
robust rhubarb.
So you get the idea of a kinda amping up
the colors a little bit. Next, is to really load up
on mascara
like load up.
When you've got the silver, we're trying to create
a bit of contrast. So black looks fabulous.
It gives you instant definition, volume and contrast.
Same with like plumy purples, navy blues.
Heavens, why not go for an electric blue?
So you don't have to do this all at once.
I'm not suggesting we do a banging bright lip,
an electric blue mascara
and a fairly strong or punchy check, right?
Pick a couple of them.
Next,
I'm going to suggest changing up your eyeliner as well.
So I'll just show you a colored eyeliner.
You know how to do this girls.
I'm using the INIKA long lash mascara in the color black.
I love how this really gives my lashes great volume.
And the quickest way to bring definition to your eyes,
is,
mascara.
So bringing in some colored eyeliners
has a playful contrast to your silver hair.
If you think about silver, as this perfect neutral
and how beautiful color looks against silver.
So here are some jewel toned eyeliners.
You've got this amazing, almost like a lap of sludge like,
blue.
Or an emerald green
or a vibrant purple.
Yeah? Just play around with a bit of color for your eye.
I'm going to go
for the purple.
And just put a little bit of purple eyeliner.
Even if you just wanna do it along the lower lash line,
bring it into your,
(soft music)
waterline as well.
Just that nice little hint of color
will be really beautiful.
So keep things luminous, fresh and colorful
and enjoy and embrace
the empowering
time that I'm told transitioning to silver is.
