Color Wow
Red Root Cover Up

(€40) This is a little box of magic. It’s been my saviour plenty of times when a visit to the hairdresser was just not possible. So when I alerted a redhaired friend that there was a version for red hair there was a squeal of excitement that might well have been heard from space. I can report it covers greys just as well as the blonde and dark versions. Sing hosannas.

(€75) Be still my beating heart. This is a large luxury, 15 shadow strong neutral palette with a mix of tones and textures that you will use and enjoy for a long time. From the deep dark brown shade which provide depth and definition and also work as a liner, to the shimmering golds, burgandies and matte blendable shades - all of these shadows will work hard and the palette colours are varied enough to allow the creation of several different looks.
