Style Report | Pastel Perfect

Trends are born on the runway: and this is one catwalk moment that has sparked a thousand copycats.  Pastel hair is sweeping the streets of Melbourne.  Whether subtle additions to blonde hair in soft rose golds, mauve and silver beige or bold statements of cool blues and greens, pastel hair is becoming the statement look for many blondes.

Whilst many might think choosing a pastel hue would be too outrageous, pastel hair dyes have a softer and lighter look than you might expect.  Subtle colours settle on the hair like light morning mist.  This imbues hair with refined elegance.  Low-key colours add a flair of sophistication to your style but do not overwhelm and can be worn everywhere.  Shades like purple and turquoise typically leave a gradient effect look that comes alive in the popular ombre style.

As with any look, it’s important to select the right pastel for you: warm coral will suit most skin tones, pastel peach nuances enhance the appeal of dark skin types, discreet rosé gives blonde women a soft romantic look, and pale lilac shades create a cool and confident appearance.  The LM team will consult with you on the best hue for you.

To complete your look bold, shaded brows give the look a couture edge: tone it down for everyday wear.  Leave lips nude or add a touch of coral gloss to compliment your pastel hair hue.

All coloured hair needs special care regardless how soft the colour may be and how it is applied.  Remember – diligent hair care assures pleasing and long lasting results.

If you want to flirt with the idea of pastel first, chalky rub-in-rub-out colours such as Kevin Murphy’s Colour Bugs are a great way to experiment with this look.
