Maybe it's the dark and stormy skies outside or the fact that our skin could use a little Miami magic, but something about a golden shimmer seems awfully appealing these days. While we drew lots of metallic inspiration from the runways of McQueen and Balmain, we're thinking a solid-gold lip could almost make us feel as glamorous as any liquid gold mini dress. But if that's even a little too rich for your blood, we recommend some subtler shimmers, from liquid eye-liner to a potent eye cream loaded with purifying Nano gold. Basically, these are some precious metals we can all get in on.
