Nada Boote is tired of her hair and wanted something fun and classy for her retirement years.

At 71, Nada has thick density and naturally silver hair. She loves its lengths and wanted to shape it to make it look less boring and drab.

I cleaned her hair with Oribe – Silverati Shampoo and Conditioner, to illuminate and enhance her silver tone. I applied Oribe – Supershine Moisturizing Cream to the mid-lengths and ends for added hydration and heat protection, and began cutting her hair into an elongated, layered shape that framed her face. I incorporated a full bangs to frame her eyes and really show off her beautiful natural hair color.

Before styling, I sprayed Oribe – Foundation Mist to prep the hair and then blow dry her hair with a round brush. I used a 1 inch curling wand to create a smooth curve and texture in her hair, then I straightened her bangs and finished the Oribe style – Matte Waves Waves Texture Lotion and Silverati – Illuminating Pomade.

Makeup:

For Nada’s makeup I wanted to define her eyes. I used a cream shadow to outline her eyelid and smoked it with a cool brown eyeshadow. I also made sure to fill in her brows and applied a double coat of mascara to give her more definition. I applied some green corrective primer to her skin to remove some redness and lightly applied a BB Cream to even out her complexion. On her lips, I chose a long-lasting vibrant fuchsia lipstick and brightened her cheek with a hint of plum blush.

Makeup used:

Primer: Make Up For Ever Step 1 Primer (Green)

Even the complexion: Bourjois Healthy Mix BB Cream

Concealer: Laura Mercier’s Secret Camouflage # 2

Eyes: MAC Pro Longwear Paint Bucket in Tailor with MAC Eyeshadow in Swiss Chocolate and Sandstone
