Creating a Holiday Look - Sprinkled with Gold Dust

Whatever holiday you're celebrating or festive occasion you're

attending, add some sparkle by sprinkling yourself with "gold

dust." Here are some tips and tricks to brighten your look and

have a little fun.

Hair: Depending upon your hairdo, thread it with gold

ribbon or throw on some fine gold confetti. Temporarily 'paint'

gold into your hair with Gold Rush™ Shimmer Gel by John Frieda.

If you highlight your hair, consider asking your colorist to

include or enhance touches of gold (warm blondes) that blend

with your hair and skin.

Face: Your eyes, cheeks and lips are perfect for gilding.

For your eyes, use a gold eye shadow as an accent or the

exclusive color. (It's hard to find matte gold and sparkle tends

to emphasize fine lines.) If you're concerned about signs of

aging, keep sparkly eye shadows away from the creases and apply

it under the brows as highlight. Three of my favorite golds are

Colour Fresco in Gold Coin by L'Oreal, Shimmerific™ eye color by

Mary Kay and the Illuminance™ Crème Shadow Skinlights 050 by

Revlon. All three are cream shadows and tend to stay on longer

than powders, which is great for get-togethers and parties.

For your cheeks, apply blush and then "finish" it with MK

Signature™ Gold Glimmer Body and Face Gel on the highest sweep

of your cheekbones. You can also smooth the gel onto your

décolleté and shoulders for a little extra "glimmer."

For your lips, polish MK Signature™ Gold Glimmer Lip Gloss over

your lip color.

Body: Add a little body gel wherever you want a little

glitter.

For your nails, layer MK Signature™ Gold Glimmer Top Coat over

your nail color or wear it alone.

Accessorize your outfit with touches of gold. Depending upon

what you're wearing, consider a gold belt or sash, gold
