    For a temporary rosé color, apply Wella Instamatic by Color Touch Pink Dream. Ivan says this color lasted about a month for his client.

    The rosé hue eventually faded to this shade of blonde. From here, create babylights around her face using Formula C. Then, apply Formula D to the roots only and pull the formula down about 4 inches.
