Metallic Make-Up
Celebrities are loving this make-up trend at the minute, as it oozes glamour. No-one knows this better than Latino lovely Jennifer Lopez, who always goes for the metallic look when getting ready for a red carpet event.
Metallic make-up buys are big news in beauty this week, as make-up goes all glitzy and glam- just in time for the Christmas countdown.
Shops are already stocked full of glitzy metallic dresses and shoes, so it's about time that some metallic beauty hit the stores too.
The catwalk for A/W 08 was full of metallic beauty making its debut, so using catwalk models as your inspiration is a great way to ease yourself into this beauty trend.
We've had a look at the best buys on the high-street this week...
Cheeks
Metallic glamour shouldn't be reserved just for your eyes, why not put some oomph into your cheeks too. We don't mean painting them bronze or silver, but using a more subtle shimmer to highlight your cheeks instead. Try Borjois Pastel Joues Rose De Jaspe, for £6.25.
Lips
The same rules apply as with your cheeks, metallics don't have to mean bronzed lips as such, but more of a glitzy pout. Try Collection 2000's budget range of glitter lip glosses for £1.99, or for high-end glamour try Lipstick Lacquer by Mac for £12.50.
Eyes
Your eyes are the one place you can really go to town with this beauty trend, as there are no rules and you can go as crazy as you like. We've got a few products you could use separately or on there own to create a dramatic metallic look for the night time.
Firstly, a must buy for every girls make-up bag is a pot of Dazzle Dust by Barry M for £4.50, as this will add sparkle to even the most boring of eyelids. Next we've found this 17 Metallic eye pencil that will liven up your lids, for £3.75 and finally Maybelline have extended their Dream Mousse range to include eye shadows, for £5.99.
