On your marks, get set, glow!

Gold rush

Charlize Theron and Taylor Swift go for gold

If you’ve embraced clashing summer brights, avoid wearing bold eye colours too. Instead go for gold with a statement eye in a metallic shade, as seen on the Mark Fast catwalk, and blingin’ celebs Taylor Swift and Charlize Theron. “From a wash of burnt gold or rose on lids, this healthy-looking hue warms up any skin tone,” says Kit Hall from Slap Artists.

Give skin a radiant sheen like the models on the Chanel catwalk: think post-workout glow, minus the redness. “Silver-toned products give skin an ethereal look,” says celeb make-up artist Daniel Sandler. “They work especially well on fair skin.” Choose silvery highlighters and blusher in shell and mother of pearl à la Emma Stone.

Want pins like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley? Try an athlete-style tan to sculpt your body with clever contouring. “Use a face bronzer on any areas you want to define, then using long, fast, sweeping strokes, apply self-tan by shading,” says A-list tanner James Harknett.
