I respectfully disagree on your hairdresser's comment that going totally gray makes one look older. During the pandemic I made the decision to go natural as it was becoming more difficult to maintain hair color. I had my hair colored every four weeks but my silver white roots were increasingly showing just two weeks after. My hair is now a beautiful shade of silver white, which I inherited from my Mom, God rest her soul. She was always complimented on her hair, and I have also received numerous compliments from women as well as from men. There was just one negative comment from a relative who said only women over 90 years old should go gray (well that is their opinion). And I have even received comments that I look younger. Now I do take care of myself with exercise, sensible eating and good skincare (also love wearing makeup). My current photo is my avatar (not able to post the photo here) but I feel that many women look great with hair color and many women look great with their natural hair color.

@monicakm @San Antonio Gal   if you do use the color, let me know how it went. If you can even post photo of hair color, without face (if you like.  I did this once). It woukd be great to see how color came out. The women I know , one went from a sable like brown, and lightened up with this brown, the other was about same color as hair just even and roots covered

You look fabulous!  

"(well that is their opinion)"

Yes, of course it was, as my hairdresser's

statement was her opinion.

I'll definitely be using it.  I have those two colors in my Amazon cart.  I'll most likely go with the lighter one.

Thanks for the list of products!  I wish more of the ladies would do that.  Are you one who likes and appreciates packaging too?

You're very welcome - and yes, I do like the packaging as well.

As a FYI, in that photo I used Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturizer as well as their concealer, Clinique High Impact Eye Shadow & Definer in Rose + Truffles, Signature Club A Nefertiti Bronzer, Signature Club A powder blush, Natasha Denona I Need A Rose Lipstick in Daphne, Natasha Denona I Need A Rose Lip Pencil also in Daphne.
(Edited to add that I also used the Natasha Denona I Need A Rose Lip Gloss in Daphne)

Thank you.  That's my brother.  He died in 2022.  He was 61 I think.  A life, turned around from drugs and other bad choices, but it was too late Smiley Sad  Then my mother died about 18 months later from a broken heart.
