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

@MissRose722 

You look fabulous!  

"(well that is their opinion)"

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

statement was her opinion.

@shoekitty 

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

Thank you so much!

Like you, I love makeup and trying out new products. My makeup in that photo is courtesy of Bare Minerals, Clinique, Signature Club A and Natasha Denona.

@MissRose722 

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

[MissRose722]

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)

Just saw your photo with your husband - you're a very pretty lady and your hubby is cute too!

[monicakm]

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   Then my mother died about 18 months later from a broken heart.

@monicakm, Thank you so much for your reply, and my sincere condolences for the loss of your mother and your brother. May the cherished memories always bring you comfort.
