My first IGTV Video: Makeup Root Color!

After being asked for years to post video tutorials, I finally did it! During this shelter in place, I wanted a creative outlet to stay connected. Finding ways to encourage others that might have similar beauty challenges during this time, I am happy to be able to assist y’all! So I present, the first of many videos!

The reason I am presenting this is because I personally didn’t like the root color spray by itself, nor do I like the root touch up kits. I find the touch up kits pricey and not as pigmented or dense of color, for my taste. Also, self dying kits at home are tricky and you can really damage your already colored hair for future appointments. And who wants to spend more money to fix something that expensive when you can do this!

I only needed 2 products to help me get the desired effect!

​First, I used MAC Eyeshadow in Mystic (**discontinued), but if you have dyed hair darker than your roots, any pigmented eyeshadow that matches your hair color will work. Using a sponge, I generously applied the color to my roots. You can use as much color in as many places as you see fit, to get the coverage you want.

Second, I used L’Oréal Magic Root Color Spray, $10.99. Using the spray, I literally sprayed enough to balance out the eyeshadow coverage, creating a thicker and more believable color. If your eyeshadow alone gives you the color coverage needed, you only need to use hairspray to seal it in, (seal = to keep color in place and possibly wear the next day, or until your next shampoo). I am using the two products to help get my desired color effect. On my scalp, (I do not have an oily scalp) this coverage lasts a few days with minimal touchups for me.

If you are blonde, hiding darker roots, you can find: blonde, platinum, white, as well as silver and gold, (if you want to have fun with it, as I explained in the video). Enjoy the tutorial… please let me know what videos you want to see next!

**You can find your desired eyeshadow color in eyeshadows from products such as, Huda Beauty and other similar brands.
