All That Glitters: Dazzling gold makeup to wear this summer
updated the 6 October 2015 à 22:53
Fun, flirty and super flattering, it’s not hard to fathom the popularity of gold makeup. Rock the luxe hue with our roundup of the best eyeliners, powders and eye shadows that are worth their weight in gold.
There’s just something about the golden rays of summer that kicks into overdrive our affinity for all things sparkly and shimmery. Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend but when it comes to makeup, a girl’s just gotta reach for the gold.
The metallic colour is a popular choice for its ability to suit all skin types and eye shapes, making eyes look bigger and adding warmth to your overall look. In addition to giving your outfit a touch of glamour, gold is also a hue that can take you from office to evening with little adjustment required.
The bronzed goddess look is summer appropriate right now but if you’re not careful, this glitzy colour can go from fun to tacky in a split second. Be sure not to douse your whole face in the shimmering shade by limiting your application to one feature at a time. In this area, it’s best to let the hue work its magic on your eyes.
Whether it’s a loose gold pigment or an eye shadow, our gallery holds a compilation of the best gilded makeup must-haves that are worth their weight in gold.
