BEAUTY BAR: Violet, You're Turning Violet!

Changing your entire wardrobe can be nothing less than challenging and, for the most part, expensive, but changing an entire look can be as simple as taking a pair of scissors to those locks you love most. As Coco Chanel once said, “A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life.” A fresh color and design can bring more to a look—and an individual—than meets the eye.

The most important thing to keep in mind when cutting your hair? It grows back! Don’t be afraid to do something fresh and seemingly outlandish; cut your hair to your chin, shave the side of your head or go for that asymmetrical bob you always wanted! Don’t be afraid to coat your curls in an ombré that isn’t blonde; there’s nothing stopping you from fading your strands to purple, or dying your entire head your favorite color blue!

Finish off that look with a fresh face of makeup: wings as sharp as a knife, and a smoky-eye to die for! It can take any simple outfit and make it fresh, funky and take it to a whole new level.

What’s on the BEAUTY BAR: To complete this look, you’ll need a fresh stain of purple on clean, bleached hair. Ask your stylist to shave one side of your head for an edgy look! For a flawless set of wings, go for a thin, black liquid liner like this one, along with a gray-tone shadow palette for a beautiful smokey look. Fill in your brows to complete your face, along with a light foundation and a delicate bronzer.
