Dyeing your hair can sometimes be an impulsive decision, and if you're anything similar us, y'all're all for it (have fun with information technology — it'southward only hair! ). But when it comes to actually sporting your new hair color , other details of your beauty routine may be affected, too — especially your makeup. It wasn't until Beachwaver founder and celebrity stylist Sarah Potempa decided to take the plunge with bubblegum pink hair that she realized the gravity of her decision on her new makeup choices, and her relationship with pigments and palettes changed for improve or worse.

"Since I was a teenager, I've been obsessed with hair as art," says Potempa. "Playing a lot of sports growing upwards, I was the girl braiding anybody'due south hair earlier the games — I experimented then much with styling my sister's hair and my own that it naturally turned information technology into my career." And with that career came the Beachwaver empire — the next generation of hair tools — equally well as killer celebrity styling and crimson rug gigs.

But what started equally a love of styling shortly turned into a love of color for Potempa, and she prides herself on the gorgeous blonde hair she was ever known for. "I was really set on having a 'await,'" she notes. "And with that consistent hairstyle, I was able to play around with all unlike types of makeup. I loved wearing bright lips of all shades from orange to hot pink to classic red. This always worked with my bright blonde hair." This all changed when Potempa dyed her hair pink — brilliant bubblegum pinkish. Not but did this mean shopping for an entirely new makeup routine, just information technology also meant a lot of trial and fault with production color choices.

"When you change your pilus colour, you need to adjust your makeup to reflect those tones," Potempa says. "It's an exciting time to explore new varieties of shadows, contour, chroma and especially lip colors. The all-time fashion to see what works is to effort, simply my advice would be to practise complementary colors and tones." This means that depending on your newly dyed hue, you may need to pull out that color wheel and avoid conflicting eye, lip and cheek shades.

"If your hair is cool-toned, similar pink, purple or bleach blonde, and then you want to focus on cool-toned lipsticks like soft pink, vivid bluish-red or hot pink," says Potempa. This too translates to your center await, where smoky liners and pinky shadows piece of work the best. On the contrary, "if your hair is warm-toned, yous can focus on brown, gold and taupe eyes and a diverseness of warm lip colors, including orange-red and flossy warm pinks," she suggests.

As for her bubblegum-chrome switch, she turned to her Instagram friends with pink hair for makeup inspiration. "I also found I needed to avoid any orange or night warm lipsticks every bit it clashed with the pink," says Potempa. "And for blush and highlighter, the iridescent lighter pinks are better than the aureate hues."

Potempa also notes that with one color change comes many more than, and she's gotten used to existence flexible. "Every fourth dimension the pinkish colour fades, it affects the makeup, but it makes information technology a fun challenge to attempt different tones!" she says.

Switching up your hair colour can exist a lot more than involved than the initial decision. But Potempa definitely believes it's worth the trials, tribulations and ever-changing lipstick swiping — and that, more than anything, is something we tin get behind.
