Are any of your clients looking for some color that’s a little extra creative this Halloween season? The spooky holiday is a favorite of many, and of course they’ll be wanting to feel their most festive head to toe.
If you’re in need of some inspiration, take a look at what these awesome artists have created in the spirit of Halloween, all using PRAVANA ChromaSilk color.
“The most fun part about using PRAVANA VIVIDS for festive looks is the uniqueness and creativity with the large collection of color options,” says PRAVANA artist Kayla Boyer. “We have every color to create some of the most unique shades for any season. Bright and bold to dark and mysterious, and even neon!”
“Throughout my entire career I have loved using PRAVANA VIVIDS to create fun and festive looks,” adds PRAVANA artist Paige Brueck. “As quickly as you can think of holidays, you can think of their color palettes. Black, orange, green, and purple are a must for Halloween! Pink and red add all the sweetness to Valentine’s Day, and you cannot go wrong with a mix of pastels for spring. PRAVANA VIVIDS’ beautiful fade out makes for an easy transition into the next holiday inspired look!”
From bright color blocks and satisfying melts to holographics and rich, dark hues, these PRAVANA artists have covered the specter-um of creative Halloween color. Check out their formulas below.
