For the last installment of our makeover series, we’ve asked our resident makeover expert Kate Leser some of the most frequently asked questions posed by you, our beautiful silver-haired readers, and also some of the questions that Kate’s clients ask her all the time. Find out what The Makeover Expert recommends for treating different hair textures, how to know when it’s time for a new haircut, and ways to look put-together without relying on heavy makeup and expensive trips to the mall.
We hope you’ve enjoyed Going Gray Blog’s Makeover Series this spring, and a big “Thank you!” to Kate for sharing her wisdom with us throughout the last few weeks. Happy styling!
Ditching the dye is an excellent way to start treating your hair better. But what about the lovely face that your new gray hair frames? Your skin is your body’s largest organ, and it protects you from the harsh irritants found in the world around you. For this reason, skincare is incredibly important. In this installment of the Going Gray Makeover Series, our resident makeover expert Kate Leser answers questions about how to protect your body’s ultimate protector—your skin.
Read on to find out how what skin regimen Kate recommends, which makeup brand she carries in her own arsenal and what color concealer to use to hide various types of blemishes.
Also, if you have questions for Kate, send them in before the end of this week to goinggray@goinggrayblog.com, and Kate will answer them in the last post of the series!
Your hair is only one part of many pieces to your look. Just because you’ve decided to go gray and landed on a comfortable haircut doesn’t mean you can’t have variety in your style through clothes and accessories. Going gray is the perfect time to sort through your closet, rediscover old items and add a few new ones.
Do you have the right little black dress hanging in your closet? When is it inappropriate to wear a miniskirt? How much is too much when it comes to accessorizing? Read on to find out what our resident makeover expert Kate thinks every woman should consider when making over her wardrobe and adding the finishing touches to any look.
And don’t forget to send your questions for Kate to goinggray@goinggrayblog.com. She’ll be answering frequently asked questions at the end of this series.
