Does Your Palette Change When You Tan, Go Gray, or Color Your Hair?

It’s one of the most common questions we hear: “Does my color palette change when I tan, when I lose my tan, when I go gray, or when I color my hair?”

The short answer: No, your palette doesn’t change.
The longer answer: how you live in your palette may shift as your hair and skin tones evolve.

In this episode of Midlife Moxie, Jen and Gail unpack this confusing topic and give you real-life examples:

• Tanning: Going from fair to sun-kissed doesn’t make you warm-toned, but it can change which colors in your palette feel most flattering.

• Gray hair: Cool undertones often find that silver and white-gray hair fits seamlessly. Warm undertones may need to adjust how they wear darker, earthy colors.

• Hair color changes: Going radically lighter or darker than your natural shade can throw everything off. The key is staying within your natural undertone and depth.

• Makeup shifts: From mascara to brows to blush, your makeup may need small tweaks as your coloring changes.

Jen and Gail also share funny personal stories (including a strong opinion on brown mascara!) and tips on keeping your look cohesive, confident, and true to YOU.
