From Wall Street to the runway, gold is in high demand right now!  And if you’re like me, you’ll agree these gold makeup products are worth the investment. Gold makeup is great since it works on every skin tone.  Fair, medium and olive complexions can shine with warmth and brilliance all year long with gold – especially with eyeshadows and bronzers. Here are my favorite golden treasures available at glow.com. However, be careful not to go overboard. You don’t want to look like “Gold Member” from Austin Powers so choose just one area to focus on at a time.  

EYES - Gold eyeshadow helps your eyes pop and brings out that special sparkle.  

My favs are:

• Amazing Cosmetics – Sun Shine Bronze Squad  
• Paula Dorf – Eye Color Glimmer  in Stardust 
• DuWop – Crush Heavy Metal Eyeshadow Trio

CHEEKS -  Bronzers work well for achieving a sun-kissed glow as well as gold highlighters.  

My favs are:

• Too Faced – Pure Bronze 
• Becca Cosmetics – Mineral Bronzing Powder 
• RAW Natural Beauty – Mineral Glow  

SKIN -  Fake that summer tan year round with these golden skin enhancers.  Hot tip – Spice up your LBD (Little Black Dress) by dusting gold powder on your décolleté and cleavage.

My favs are:

• Tarte – Glam Gams Bronzing Leg Stick
• gloMinerals – Gradual Glo Self Tanner
• Sue Devitt – Glow Kit (tinted moisturizer – plus lip gloss, eye pencil and eyeshadow)
