Winter Blond at Paul Edmonds

My winter coat is replete, all remnants of any colour from Autumn has left my skin leaving me with a pallor not that far removed from a plucked chicken. Having very light blond hair was making me look terribly washed out and dare I say it, OLD! So I decided to consult Cult Beauty hair expert Paul Edmonds.

Paul suggested adding some more apricot hues to my ashy blond hair to tone down the blues which were washing out my complexion. I was a little worried about dyeing my hair darker, but the results really warmed my whole countenance.

I have noticed Madonna has been doing a similar thing for a little while now, as have Diane Kruger and Sarah Jessica Parker and it really works to soften their strong features, with an instant anti-ageing effect.

I fully plan to go back to my original ashy blond in the summer when a little browner, but for right now the winter coat is staying. alexia inge
