Gild the Lily


Whoever came up with the phrase, "Gild the lily," was obviously a boring person. Life is double fun with gold and glitter. And it's triple fun when you combine them. Summer is hot, and there's something about uninhibited metallics that feels right. Here are some of my favorite goldies! 

Side note: if you're not a head-to-toe Goldilocks, then pair one of these with a pressed white oxford and some great jeans. It'll add just the right amount of spice.

Tip: when you're applying loose glitter, prep lids with a shadow base (this will give the glitter something to hold onto). Hold a tissue right beneath your lower lashes to catch any excess glitter. You don't want glitter cheeks too. Dampen a flat shadow brush, dip in glitter, and press onto lid. Don't swipe or the glitter will flake. Top off the look with black liquid liner and mascara.

Who doesn't want a polish named "Gold Fingers?"

Just the right amount of excessive.
Even the Blackberry is getting some love.
