Are you looking for a smashing holiday look? Go for gold! Gold is said to increase personal power, promote courage, confidence and willpower according to Crystal-Cure.com. It's bling-y, fabulous and not for the faint of heart. Try this look for your next cocktail or holiday party...or at the most fabulous holiday event of all, New Year's Eve. Pick one or two features to play up in gold like eyes and cheeks, lips and eyes, or lips and cheeks paired with a neutral eye. Swathing yourself in smashing black? Then go for all three! Just don't pair all gold with an all gold ensemble! Here's how to get the look.
A gold eye is a sure bet if you want to have one feature swathed in gold. Start with a neutral, matte shade for the whole eye and then use a shimmering gold shade on the lid. Apply lots of layers or work with a cream shadow or wet powder for more intensity. Create a cat eye or line your lids in black for a more dramatic effect. When it comes to lashes, don't forget to curl, this is the number one eye opening trick! You can even do that in gold with this pretty eye lash curler from Shu Uemura or apply false lashes with some gold built in if your event is extra swanky. The same is true for foundation, use the golden self standing expert face brush from Real Techniques to flawlessly apply a shimmering foundation or top your normal foundation with an illuminator or shimmering powder. Lips aren't left out either...top a nude lip color with a gold gloss or find a lipstick in a shade that's flattering. Don't forget your nails, Essie is Good as Gold is subtle but shimmering at the same time.
