This season, indulge in a little head-to-toe glitz. Infuse your brunette hair with celebratory shine, paint on a glittery nail polish, and make your wardrobe holiday-worthy with just the right amount of sparkle. When you combine dazzling details with classic neutrals, you'll achieve a look that's both captivating and modern. Read on for our essential tips for complete holiday shine.
Holiday Sparkle Essential #1: The Right Glitter at the Right Time
- 1. Pull off sequins the classy way: pair a long-sleeved, glittery blouse or tank with more muted fabrics on the bottom—sleek black trousers or a graphite skirt. Or complement a daring, matte-finished mini-dress with a pair of glittery stilettos.
- 2. Shine on in…red? Yes! The holidays are a perfect time to trade your little black dress for a crimson one. The colour is a chic complement for rich brunette tones. Just be sure to choose a more neutral shoe—avoid matchy-matchy red—to look pulled together, not overly done.
- 3. It's the right season for makeup that glitters, but to keep your look sophisticated, play up one feature rather than all of them. Swipe on metallic eyeshadow, dab on high-shine lip colour, or play up your cheeks with some shimmery blush.
Holiday Sparkle Essential #2: A Glistening Brunette Style
- 1. When your beautiful brunette shines, the rest of your look tends to follow suit. Drench your hair in pure shine with Brilliant Brunette® Liquid Shine Illuminating Shampoo and Conditioner.
- 2. For a sleek style, blow dry hair with a round brush, or for more informal waves, let hair air dry. Once completely dry, pull strands into a chic, side-swept updo and pin with a decorative gemstone brooch. Secure the look with a few bobby pins.
- 3. For a high-gloss finish on any style, rub a small amount of Brilliant Brunette® Liquid Shine Shock® Perfecting Glosser between palms and smooth lightly over the surface of dried hair. The super-light formula instantly smoothes flyaways and glosses away imperfections.
