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
stockings or gold shoes and bag. There are always gold earrings,
necklaces, brooches, bracelets and rings for some special
holiday flash.
Sprinkle yourself with "gold dust" and razzle dazzle this season.
