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! Fixing Root Color TemporarilyThe 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!
Click HERE to watch the video on IGTV. Full breakdown and links of what I used, you can find below. 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.

If you are over 35, and you want your under eye area to appear firmer, brighter and diminish lines; Drunk Elephant C-Tango Multivitamin Eye Cream, $64 A rich and restorative eye cream featuring a brightening combination of eight peptides, five forms of vitamin C, and cucumber extract for firmer, stronger-looking skin around the eye area. This product is free of gluten, fragrance, essential oil, silicone, and irritants. It is vegan and cruelty-free. Drunk Elephant is a supporter of IEF (International Elephant Foundation) and is cruelty-free. Would you like a workhorse product that helps your blackheads, pores, breakouts, and controls excess oil? Caudalie Vinopure Salicylic Acid Pore Minimizing Serum, $49 Formulated with salicylic acid, this ultra-light gel serum purifies pores, zaps blemishes, and purges excess oil, blackheads, and bacteria. Caudalie’s natural salicylic acid (a BHA, or beta hydroxy acid) is clean, powerful, and oil soluble, which allows it to penetrate pores, targeting the most stubborn pimples caused by bacteria and dead skin. While the salicylic acid works hard to flush out excess oil and clarify clogged pores, rosewater works to your enhance glow and hydrate skin. The formula is further enriched with antioxidant grape seed polyphenols to protect the skin and prevent the oil inside your pores from oxidizing, or turning black, which is essentially a blackhead. A complex of noncomedogenic essential oils provides antiseptic benefits to calm the skin and keep it clear, leaving it smooth and soft. Powerful yet soothing, this serum is safe for sensitive skin and is recommended for combination to oily skin, as well as those with hormonal breakouts. Literally the most popular question is: "Jessi, which setting spray do you love the most?" BEHOLD; Skindinavia - The Makeup Finishing Spray, $29 This clinically-proven makeup finishing spray (also known as a setting spray) applies as a lightweight, breathable fine mist to set liquid and powder makeup and hold it in place for 16+ hours!

I hope you get out there and try some of these products! NOTE; if you do purchase The Makeup Finishing Spray by Skindinavia, be aware they have an oily skin formula. But unless you have extreme oil production, I would not advise getting it!.The spray above is great for normal to oily skins. Until next time!
