GLITTERING metals are taking over beauty counters this season. From warm make-up colour to rich, luxurious packaging, go for gold.

Apply a sweep of Illamasqua Broken Gold, £18.50, from the brand new Equinox collection across the eyes. The innovative liquid formula crates a metallic effect – wear it on its own or layer over eye colour for a long-lasting shattered gold effect.

Or alternatively, try Illamasqua Vintage Metallix Shadow, £17, in Courtier, a rich metallic nude to brighten eyes. The cream-gel texture is long wearing and smudge resistant.

Upgrade you makeup bag with the addition of the covetable Bobbi Brown Luxe Lip Colour, £25, which comes packaged in a rather chic crest-embossed gold bullet.

In a choice of 30 shades, try Pink Nude or Pink Sand for an elegant everyday look, the hydrating formula delivers bold, maximum-coverage colour.

Kiehl’s Daily Reviving Concentrate, £36, is a light golden-coloured oil that gives tired-looking skin a boost. Use just a couple of drops it in the morning after a serum and before moisturiser.

It works to create a protective barrier against pollution or stress on the skin. Ginger root oil protects while sunflower seed oil hydrates.
