About Darin...
Hello, Hello! My professional life is all about color. My enthusiasm for color started when I was 14 and sold AVON. I would ride my bicycle and consult with senior ladies about the best lipstick. Now 45 years later I have written a book, the first of a series all based on my creation ebhues™, a personal color and notation system, and elea blake cosmetics®, a natural beauty color theory makeup line. I'm still consulting with ladies about their lipstick, but now I'm the senior!
​
When my twin daughters Blake and Elea were 5, I created elea blake cosmetics ® and named my company after them. I wanted to create a legacy for my daughters and teach them that everyone is beautiful. I wanted them to know that beauty comes with knowing and loving yourself and accepting yourself for who you are and where you are. Today I am the happiest Mom because I get to work with Elea every day. Together we create beautiful colors with purpose. Our personal consulting and DIY tools help our color philosophy reach all over the globe. We help people get in touch with their personal colors and do life with them.
​
While Blake Blamalam does not work with us daily, we collaborate often! We love creating awesome content and assisting with fun photoshoots.
​
I am a huge animal lover, social & animal activist, a spastic gardener (spastic because I'm not good at it, but love it), a lover of the unique and different, an eclectic crafter, and a foodie (please cook for me!)

Glowing Gray
was inspired by the multitudes of friends and clients, from age 7 up, who have asked me about my hair, my skin, my fashion, and my zest for life. I truly believe that age is a number and I am looking forward to all the birthdays, and cake of course!
