Get ready for Autumn and start stocking up on gold and copper glistening makeup now. The autumn season is always the time for metallics to creep back in to fashion and this year the trend will be full throttle.

Burnt gold will gild eyelids while more sheer, brassy tones dust the cheekbones to contour and add structure the face. Rusted, coppery hues will be swept across the lips with flecks of shiny gold creeping through.

To make the trend work for you, take inspiration from the models at Alessandro del’Acqua and Chloe, but don’t copy them. Choose one aspect of the look, i.e. golden eyeshadow, and work with that. A full on gold face is for Oscar trophies and fashion catwalks alone.
