ANTIQUE GOLD:

Go for an antique gold eye makeup look with a tarnished feel if you're not digging the intense yellow gold look. The gold shade will have more of a grunge, sage or olive undertone which pairs well with brown, burgundy, bronze and coppery shades for wearable earthy vibes.

METALLIC ACCENT:

If you're a bit hesitant with incorporating gold into your look, the easiest and quickest way to do so would be with a gold accent. The fun part is you can really get creative here and add your own personal touch by thinking outside of the box. Gold foil, rhinestones and glitter are a few fun elements to add to any look.

Golden Flakes

Probably the most easiest and grown up way to add an accent is with metallic or glitter eyeliner. It's foolproof, not messy and adds just the right amount of shine. Add to your crease for a faux cut crease look, to the upper lashline, bottom lashline or layer adjacent to your normal liner - so many ways to wear this fun look.

GOLD EYELINER:

For the days you're going for a more subtle eye look or aren't just digging so much drama, try metallic or glitter liner. It adds an unexpected twist to your eye makeup and with a bit of black mascara, highlighter on the cheeks and a nude lipstick, you'll get a very pretty yet minimal party makeup look. Or just add to your already glam look to amp up the drama.

GILDED GOLD:

For full on glam, go with gilded gold lids. This classic style is versatile and there's so many different ways of rocking this look. The key to a gorgeous gilded lid, is the crease or transition shade. Make sure it's a nice opaque matte shade which will add the right amount of contour to your lids which is needed especially in flash photography so your lids don't get completely washed out.

Glow

Try dark, deep and aged golden shades for a different take on the classic gold. These colors look especially beautiful on deep brown and amber eyes. Pick colors that complement each other and your beautiful eye color. Remember, blending is key to a gorgeous gilded look.

GOLD LIPS:

If you're not in the mood to play with eyeshadows and eyeliner, then you definitely need to complete your makeup with glamorous gold lips.

Get The Look:

Begin with a black lip base. The dark base will intensify the shade that is layered on top. Layer a metallic gold pigment on top of the black base. Metallic is the way to go if you're not a fan of chunky glitter but love the shine. For a nice highlight, add a lighter gold shade to the center of the lips. Complete the look with a transparent lip gloss which will really add dimension and shine!

Black & Gold Lips

If you're really in party mode, try glitter lips! Just make sure the glitter is cosmetic grade (finely milled is the way to go) and that you've applied a glitter primer to prep your lips. Lock it all in with a clear lip gloss.

If you love the look of glitter but DIY lips aren't your thing, lip toppers are your new BFF! You'll get multifaceted dimension and shine without the hassle or mess of pigments and glitter.
