Glam Holiday DIY Hair & Makeup: 7 Hot Looks

Want to add a little oomph to your everyday look for all those holiday parties coming up on your calendar? Try one of these seven easy ways to glam it up a bit, without having to step foot inside the salon.

Make Waves

Apply Pantene Pro-V Ice Shine Mousseto wet strands and blow-dry your hair, scrunching it with your hands. Wrap pieces around your finger and pin them close to your scalp. "They key is making the twists random," says hairstylist Recine. Let curls set, and as you take them down, spritz hair with Nexxus Comb Thru Mist, brushing it with your fingers to finish the look.

Do the Twist
"Create a ponytail at the nape of your neck and pin it into a loose bun," says Hollywood hairstylist Léa Journo. Keep it smooth with her Mirroir Glossing Cream ($28).

Try Silver

The Body Shop Define & Sparkle Liner and Mascara in Silver ($18) quickly takes you from day to night. "Sweep the liner on the top lash line and brush the mascara on the tips of your lashes," instructs Chase Aston, Body Shop celebrity makeup artist.

Stay Polished
