PRECIOUS METAL
GO FOR THE GOLD THIS HOLIDAY SEASON
Legend has it that iconic actress Marlene Dietrich insisted that makeup artist Max Factor (an icon himself)
dust her blond hair with flakes of real 20-karat gold to make it gleam on film. She was onto something:
Gold can make you gleam brighter than a Christmas tree. This holiday season, it’s everywhere, from hair
products to makeup. Here are the 11 that make the gold standard. Happy gleaming!
Chanel Facettes D’Or Nail Colour in Gold Fiction
Coco would be so proud of this soft, honey-gold polish. To go too sparkly gold would be trés gauche.
Chanel will take the gold trend a tad deeper this winter with the launch of the shade Haute Chocolate.
