Garnier Fiery Red 6.60 Hair Dye: Before and After

Hiya Sweetpeas,

I've been getting a lot of people interested in finding out a bit more about the Garnier Fiery Red 6.60 Hair Dye I use. I posted back in May about dying my naturally dark brown hair bright pillar box red again but in particular you want to know the before and after results.

Above is the before and after results. It's a pretty good before and after as before dying my hair red I had NEVER dyed my hair before... insane I know as now I'm addicted hehe.

So the colour brown you see there is my natural colour. I occasionally used a product called 'Sun In' which you can buy in Superdrug which, when sprayed on a heated with a hair dryer, lightens your hair a little in the places sprayed. I did this to get a bit more depth and highlights into my hair but not very often.

The red colour you see is from my first aplication of Garnier Fiery Red 6.60 Hair Dye. As you can see the colour is brilliant and bright and has slightly lightened by hair because of the peroxide in it.

The red is very bright in the sun but more toned down inside or under natural light which is also good for work. However, like any red colour it does wash out and fade quickly, this bright red won't stay for too long and I wouldn't recommend re-dying very soon due to hair damage.

What I did find was that as the dye faded my hair changed to different colour reds and people would re-compliment me asking if I have redyed my hair. So the fading out process isn't all too bad.

I have thick, fine hair down to the middle of my back and it currently takes only one hair dye kit to dye the whole of my hair. Though if you do have longer hair I would recommend buying two kits as I have to be very precise and stringent with application.

Too any girlies thinking of going red... do it! it's brilliant fun and yep, brunettes can do it too... I'm the living proof hehehe xxxx

Eyebrow Shaping and Shading 101

What a 

Difference a Brow Makes

Brows are such an important part of your face, something ladies who shave their eyebrows off soon realise. They frame your face and are an important part of its symmetry. After plucking and general shaping I would recommend any girlie whether dark or light eyebrowed to invest in an eyebrow pencil. My brows are particularily dark but as you can see from the before and after shots above a little drawing make a whole lot of difference!

Step 1. Grab a makeup brush and hold it up to the side of your nose. Where is touches the inner corner of your brow shows you where to start shading in.

Step 2. Next angle the brush along to the middle of your eye whilst keeping its end close to your nose. The brush should be covering your iris right in the very centre of your eye. The arch of your brow is the point at which the brush hits your eyebrow.

Step 3. Now angle the brush further along to the outer corner of your eye. The shows the point where your eyebrow should end.

Step 4. Use these guidelines to draw in your eye brows on each side. Many articles I've read instruct that you mimic hairs by drawing on 'light feathery strokes' but I prefer to gently tone the area, building up colour by lightly shading in from the very central line of the brow first. Whatever works best for you.
