Glitz and glitter
BY DENISE I. O’NEAL
The holiday season is all about sparkle and glitter and nobody does it better than MAC.
MAC, known for its fun, frivolous and fashionable palettes has some of the best holiday kits. Among this year’s selections is Rihanna’s “RiRi loves Mac” collection. The popular makeup house using an African American as the face of its holi-­
day collection shows how diverse the universal products are.
The hues follow the trends of the season incorporating blush color shadows, blushes and rose color lipsticks. maccosmetics.com

If you haven’t tried Wen hair care products yet, what are you waiting for?
Hollywood hair stylist and colorist Chaz Dean is so passionate about his hair prod-­
ucts it’s hard not to believe they are the best on the planet.
Dean, who uses cutting-edge ingredients for his thick cleanser/conditioners de-­
signed for all hair types, just launched his new winter season formula— cranberry mint. Keep in mind there is a learning curve and the one suggestion Dean and anyone who has used the products, including myself, suggest is watch the DVD or his infomercial demonstrations. Dean frequently makes live appearances on QVC, which sells Wen products. qvc.com

From chignons at the nape to loose tresses to top-­
knots, even braids its not about the style but rather the look this holiday season— loose and casual.
To achieve a casual classic updo frame your face with wisps of hair. The tousled look for loose tresses is back, but keep it tame with waves or soft curl. Braids can be flirty try wearing a long plait with loose ends draped over the shoulder. Hair adornments (flowers, barrettes and jeweled items) will be big as well. Photo: viphairstyles
