“Pastel Edge” by Vivienne Mackinder
Who doesn’t love rainbow sprinkles and candy colors? Vivienne Mackinder delves deep into our colorful childhood fantasies and combines them with the most daring modern haircuts.
The best of all worlds is now available right at your salon. Pastel Edge satisfies our deep need for hair colors and lighthearted play that takes us away from the demands of everyday life. Of course, our sense of style needs some nourishment as well, and Mackinder does not disappoint.
Swirling shapes with very defined edges and a diagonal positioning give winter-weary heads no chance for hibernation. Try a radical undercut in a short style or opt for a classic bob shape— all shapes and sizes are welcome, just don’t be too shy with the color!
Rainbow Bob
The flawlessly sharp cutting line of this medium-length bob stands in strong contrast to the softness and smooth curve of the long side fringe and the rainbow of colors in the hair. Berry, ocean, and vanilla hues are intense even though they fall within the soft pastel range.
Each color is applied in wide strands, which then overlap and create new shades through their interplay. What a way to bring some color to the cold and gray days! Just make sure to keep your makeup low-key.
Prismatic on Platinum
You need a platinum base to play with pastel hair colors this way. It provides the most neutral and, of course, glamorous background for the amazing jewel and candy tones to come to life. The super short hairstyle gets a strong edge with its wide undercut.
Longer top hair is styled over one side and thrills with the most amazing transitions within individual streaks of color. Tones range from pink to orange, with yellow, blue, and lavender providing a cool counterpoint.
Berrylicious Bob
There can never be enough of a good thing. In regard to this hairstyle, this means design and color. This bob has plenty of both and features several strong textures, asymmetry, and an artistic dynamic reminiscent of the pop art that became very popular in the 1960s.
The look has two parts. The lower section, separated by color, stands out with its strong and clean lines in the slanted fringe and bottom perimeter. The raspberry creation is crinkled ever so minutely. The top flares out from a center point and seems to move all by itself, with soft-textured edges and a blueberry jello color.
Sprinkles and Style
All your fashion fantasies can come true! Start with a great hairstyle like this trapeze cut, a very modern twist on the classic bob. You might think of circus or remember the famous birthday cake out of a box, but there is more to these happy sprinkles.
The shape rises from the cheekbones in a beautifully graduated texture, and the top is flared out and sleek. An effortlessly elegant curve that carves out the fringe makes it artistic.
Pastel Streaks
Summer colors in a winter style—what could be more invigorating? She keeps it cool with her undercut and snowy platinum blonde hair color in a great short cut that has a military edge.
What makes it soft and fun are the pastel streaks in pink and the blue accents, which highlight the cutting line and several spots on the opposite side.
