The Midas Touch

The golden fever of team GB winning a grand total of 29 gold medals can only be boosted with the emergence of this metallic beauty trend.

Fendi teamed gold foil with an accent of bold black liner for a show stopping look. The foil transfers on eyelids were reminiscent of Liz's to-the-browbone block of colour in her rendition of Cleopatra.




The spring catwalks suggested that beauty's biggest talents had returned to their fine art roots, bringing a DIY aesthetic to the season - it's time to get creative!


The idea behind Dashing Diva's "dripping with gold" foils at Cushnie et Ochs was to make it appear as though models had been "digging in gold", so nails techs applied foils a few millimetres above the actual nail line to stimulate imperfection.
The look was achieved through applying the gold foil directly to nail glue, smoothing with a cotton pad and pulling away the sheet to leave a gilded finish; finish with a top coat for longevity purposes.


The catwalk shows also saw models with hair slicked back and coated in a layer of gold foil.




Beauty has developed this trend to produce an almost liquid gold effect that coats the eyebrow and lid.
