Cool Makeup For Gray Hair
When you have gray hair, color is your best friend. A bright pop of strong color on lips paired with a rosy flush on cheeks looks modern and gorgeous against gray locks. Adding navy liner to enhance blue, gray, or green eyes is a more subtle way to use color to your advantage. Here’s how to get the look:

Step one: Brighten up and hydrate the undereye area with a great moisturizing concealer.
Lancôme Efacernes Concealer ($30) or Sephora 8 Hour Perfect Concealer ($15).
Step two: Apply a tinted moisturizing balm with your fingers to even out skin tone. A balm is a great choice for very dry skin as it provides intense moisture and a dewy finish.

Step three: Use a touch-up concealer stick to eliminate any traces of redness. Only apply where needed. Blend with fingers.

Step four: When your hair goes gray, your brows can also start to fade. Define their shape and color by filling them in with a powder eyeshadow and a stiff angled brow brush. Here, a soft taupe shade worked best.
Step five: To open and define eyes, sweep a light base color like ivory from the lower lashline all the way up to just below the brows. Then sweep a medium shade, here we applied a soft pinky nude shade.
Step six: Line your top lid with a thin line of navy eye shadow applied as liner. Navy liner will enhance the color of blue or green eyes.
Step seven: Finish eyes with a few coats of lengthening mascara in black.
Diorshow Mascara ($25) or Covergirl Bombshell Mascara ($11).
Step eight: Add a glowy touch of sheer color with cream blush to the apple of the cheeks blending outwards with fingers.

Step nine: A strong lip in a vibrant pink looks gorgeous against gray hair.
