Could we talk about makeup ....and hair --- again?!
in Chit Chat
About 3.5 years ago I got some awesome makeup tips here and have since become more knowledgeable and definitely more interested in learning how to do makeup correctly.
I've been using Urban Decay's Naked 1 since then and am happy with it but am ready to branch out and test more color combinations. I have fair skin and light hair.
How are Naked 2 and 3? I was under the impression they were for people with darker complexions... Any other good eyeshadow palettes with decent lasting power in the same price range you would recommend?
Also, on the hair subject. Typically my hair looks far from its best in the winter because of lack of sun and salt, wearing hats all the time etc. It loses its luster and fades to a nasty yellowish tone. In the past using a purple shampoo once a week or once every two weeks has helped, but it seems to be losing its effectiveness. I just read that purple shampoo doesn't work for natural blondes --- anyone know if this is true?
I did order some tea tree oil to address scalp issues that come and go and also plan on doing an anti-chlorine Malibu treatment. While my hair hasn't been exposed to a lot of chlorine lately, I did them every few months in high school when I was swimming regularly and loved the impact on my hair.
Any advice or thoughts, suggestions on make up and hair products would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My cousin has a Tarte palette that I always try to swipe when we are together, I'm not sure which but the staying power is great for me if you can find one with tones you like.
Im not sure about purple shampoo.
Ooooh checking out Tarte eyeshadow palettes online and they look great --- thank you!
I like your suggestion about the accent color. Pardon my ignorance ---- does this mean that I would - for example - choose a different color than the eyeshadow, a color that really pops, for eyeliner or lipstick? Do you have any suggestions of color combos that work for you? Thanks!
A lot of those are similar to the naked palette, some with different tones in there.
ETA: a ton, because it posted too soon.
These are some of the shades I use.
I wear the eyeshadows with more subtle shades, more neutrals, and use these to pop colour. And the lipstick, just for fun.
Best idea? Go to Sephora or wherever, talk to the people working there. Say you're torn between Naked 2 + 3. They'll give you an idea, plus you can also try it out.
They also may have a better idea! You never know
Love the accent suggestions -which I'm trying to incorporate - and next time I'm near a Sephora will get professional advice.
I will likely buy an alternate palette too so I can go back and forth depending on the look I want ....the Tarte does look quite appealing.
Thanks for all the tips!
