In an age where the makeup world is gushing over holographic hues and rainbow hues, the golden hue is the next thing that will welcomed in the world of makeup. The perfect gold pigment that can be swept across the eyelid as a shadow, or on the cheekbone and brow bone as a highlighter. The colour gold has the ability to add the instant glow that one needs.

There's nothing more richer looking than gold tints in makeup, but there are a few tips you should heed while subtle shimmer is chic, like a fully gilded Oscar statuette is not!

How to get the look:

EYES:
For your eye,If you like a splash of gold on your lid, use a fluffy blending brush to apply your powder eye shadow. The fluffier the brush, the less colour it will pick up. Whereas if you'd like a denser golden look use a stiffer, flat brush.

FACE:
Gold powder on the entire face may lot more risky and a big no no!Grab one of the many gold flecked luminizing powders out there, and opt for a smaller blush brush.  Highlight them on above your cheekbones, and the bridge of the nose and slightly blending it down to the cheeks. Layer over or under a powder blush for a flawless gilded look

LIPS:
Layer the lips with gold lip gloss or lipstick or use a touch of gold pigment on top of a deep red on its pout. The effect will leave an iridescent, jewel tone pout.
