At
home in Memphis:
diva is known as a "Colour
Studio." How important is hair color
to the overall look a woman wants to achieve?
Ted Cortese:
Hair color is so important that if the
wrong tone is applied neither eye color
nor skin tones will be enhanced, no matter
what makeup is used.
AHiM: Are
there any other guidelines to remember
when talking about hair color?
TC: My belief
is that no color should be too extreme.
The color of the hair should be better
than, not contrary to, nature.
AHiM: What
did you choose for Jeni and why?
TC: We selected
a Level 4. Neutral Brown, a carmel color,
in layman's terms, to accentuate her beautiful
skin and eyes.
AHiM: What
about the cut? |
|
TC:
A good cut should accentuate the cheeks
and eyes, rather than the chin, nose or
mouth.
AHiM: What
part do cosmetics play in beginning to
complete the looks?
Pam John:
A woman's skin should look like skin.
The same as with no makeup, only perfected,
with a natural dewy finish. We chose an
iced coffee, mineral based powder foundation
because is has a nice level of coverage
without being flakey or cakey.
AHiM: Her
eyes are naturally gorgeous. What did
you use to enhance them?
PJ: Those
rich chocolate brown eyes were enhanced
using grape in the crease, a lovely champagne
color to the lid to "spark"
the eyes and a more neutral bone colo9r
along the brow bone to further accentuate.
AHiM: Color
has been such an important part of this
makeover, what |
|
part to color
choices play in the selection of clothes?
Carolyn Bendall: When the color is worn
correctly, the skin will appear flawless,
redness will disappear and veins will
fade.
AHiM: How does one determine what colors
are right?
CB: We match skin tone, eye color and
hair color. The three will exact a true
match in one spectrum.
AHiM: Wha tid you find in Jeni's color
analysis?
CB: Jeni is a warm tawny with warm skin
tones, which can often be misclassified.
However, we take it a step further until
it's an exact match with no variance.
We chose a tailored suite in a buttercup
yellow color, which enhanced her beautiful
brown eyes and was appropriate for whenever
she might find herself reporting the news.
