New Years Day lead singer Ash Costello took to her twitter to answer fashion questions from her fans. She wrote: “♥I get asked a lot about my personal style, where I shop, hair dye, all that, so girl creeps, nows the time!20 questions,ask me & ill tell!♥”

I already got to ask Ash a whole bunch of my own questions when I interviewed her at Warped Tour in June, but I learned some new things from the twitterview like that she dyes her hair with Manic Panic’s “Raven” black and “Electric Lava” orange dyes and uses their “Vampyre’s Veil” compact. She’s also a fan of Urban Decay’s “Oil Slick” black eyeshadow.

Recently Ash has been talking about dying her hair a silvery white and posted inspiration photos on her tumblr, but she’s concerned about damaging her hair, which is naturally black. “It took me forever to grow it this long, I’d die if I wrecked it. We’ll see!,” she writes. Should she do it? I think it would look great on her with heavy black eyeshadow and red lips, but the damage is a legitimate concern, especially once she decides to change back to another color. Hair dye tends not to hold properly on hair once it’s been bleached, and I can tell you that from “why is this pink? It’s supposed to be red!” experience. I’m glad that mess is grown out!

on makeup

“I’m all about going with the season, and this summer I’ve been obsessed with the bronze, wet-gold metallic look, nude lips and large, babydoll lashes. It’s a very natural look with a glow. I wear MAC Paint Pot in Indianwood, MAC lipstick in Myth, Origins eyeliner in Fudge and Origins Underwear for Lashes and Fringe Benefits mascara.”

here are all of the products she uses (not pictured in the right colors):

on sunscreen

“Sunscreen is a must. We’re outside from ten a.m. to eight p.m. everyday, so I apply it several times a day and use Aveeno face moisturizer with SPF 15. This summer, we’re in a different city and state everyday and we don’t always have a bathroom and mirror, so when I wake up and walk off the bus I never know what to expect. Sometimes we have to walk though mud puddles, some days we’re working with dry dust. At the end of the day, I always wipe down with baby wipes. It’s like a mini-shower.”

on haircare

“I’ve learned, don’t try to wear your hair, let your hair wear you. The more you force it, the more it retaliates against you. It isn’t necessary for me to wash my locks every day; letting it get dirty and do its own thing seems to work better. Out here on the Warped Tour, since it’s blistering hot most days, the best way to get my hair out of my face and off my neck is the trusty side braid—and I always decorate it with one of my homemade hair feathers.”

Here are the products pictured and mentioned. She doesn’t specify which Aveeno moisturizer she uses, they make a few with SPF 15.
