Gold has been used for millennia to tone and calm skin, so why stop now? We’ve rounded up three gold-spiked skin saviours for every budget.
STEAL
Aceology Anti-Ageing Gold Eye Mask, $49 (6 pairs)
This Aussie brand is going gangbusters and we love these peptide-rich new recruits for de-puffing, hydrating and brightening the eye area in a flash.
SPLASH
AHC Brilliant Gold Toner, $109
It flies off the shelves at home in Korea and is set to do the same now that it’s at Myer. Ideal for dry skin, this gold-charged toner calls on potent seaweed to hydrate and revitalise.
SPLURGE
MZ Skin By Dr. Maryam Zamani Life & Lustre Golden Elixir Antioxidant Serum, $425
Dosed with hyaluronic acid and antioxidants, it not only boosts hydration and texture but protects from pollution and leaves skin with something of a soft-focus filter.
Keen to keep the gold trend going? Try out these gold-inspired beauty products.
Sisley Les Phyt-Ombres Eyeshadow in Sparkling Topaze, Silky Sand and Silky French Blue, $65
Sheeny metallic eyelids were big on the runways this season, and these new single-hue eyeshadows from Sisley are a great way to get on board. Perfect swept onto lids with a coat of mascara while keeping the rest of the face well pared-back.
Fenty Beauty Fairy Bomb Loose Shimmer Powder in Trophy Wife, $46
Use a big fluffy brush to dust this illuminator on facial high points for the perfect golden shimmer.
Iconic London Body Illuminator in Glow, $89
Apply this body illuminator on to shoulders and collarbones for a subtle, warm glow.
