It started with supercharged highlighters and a light dusting of shimmer, but now metallic make-up has developed into a fully-fledged trend that is showing no signs of abating. As seen on some of our favourite celebrities (special shout out to Rihanna!), building layers of the shiny stuff can work wonders on the eyes, cheekbones and lips. We talk to the pros to help you nail the look and line up the products you need to make room for in your stash.

24K ROSE GOLD
‘Believe it or not, this trend has something for everyone. It can be worn daytime and transfers beautifully for a night-time look. The key to getting it right is picking a shade that flatters your skin tone’ Bridal make-up specialist Joy Adenuga.






SILVER SURFER
‘Rose gold and silver are leading the way on this trend. Have fun with a metallic eyeshadow or add a pop of metallic colour to your lips. If you’re feeling brave, do both.’ Session makeup artist Funmi Taiwo.
