Different Hair Color Calls for Different Make-up



For fun, Lauren Conrad sported a brown wig for this month's issue of Harper's BAZAAR. They called in the darling Ken Paves for his wig expertise and me for her signature make-up look, with a little more intensity. So I deepened her bronzer and blush and added a little more definition to her eyes. To do this, I used the same shades that I normally use on her, but applied more coats with more product on the brush. If you're in the mood to disguise yourself with a different hair color wig, make sure to snap a quick digital picture of yourself before you go out and you'll easily see how you'll need to change up your make-up. If you go darker, don't forget to darken your eyebrow color with shadow or a pencil. Be careful with red lips because they might make you look too costume-y... but if you have dark hair and you're sporting a blonde wig, you might need a little more color on your lips than you're used to. Wigs are a great way to see yourself in another light and a good test before you dye your hair.
