Our ultimate Glam Guilty Pleasure is Gold. No matter what the seasonal trend dictates we find a way to incorporate gold into our looks for both day and night. Gold is incredibly versatile and comes in a variety of cosmetic products. It can be used as a pigment added to a lotion or creme foundation to add a subtle glow used as an accentual eyeshadow to make your look really pop and even literally applied to the skin for an artistic, bold editorial or high fashion look. One warning is to be careful that the gold you are using isn't to brassy or yellow for your skin tone. If you are using it for a wearable day or night look the key is to use golds that highlight, pop and glow against your skin. For eyes, Barry M's Dazzle Dust in Marigold is an excellent loose eyeshadow that is a vibrant, warm ,true gold colour that matches most skin tones. (Gold goes fantastically with purples and browns.)
If you covet a Midas Kiss for that extraordinary glamorous look, keep eyes bold and black to really make a statement with your gold lips. A fantastic, luxurious way to achieve gold lips is Dolce and Gabbana's Shine Lipstick in Gold from the ultra luxe shopping centre Harrods - At £22 its not overly expensive and is excellent value for money.
For cheeks and face GloMinerals gloDust in 24K Gold
is a fabulous loose highlighter that can be mixed or applied directly for a glam guilded glow. You can also mix this with body lotion for an all over shimmer to enhance your tan or just for extra wow-factor when going out for the night.
