The Best Gold Makeup Products

Whatever the season is, gold makeup can look good on everyone. A universally flattering shade, gold is a classic makeup look that enhances radiance, catching the light to illuminate the complexion in a beautiful way. We’ve picked out our top gold makeup products to create the ultimate golden goddess look.

Illuminating Gold Primers

Begin the makeup look with an illuminating primer which has a radiant satin finish. We love the Shiseido Synchro Skin Illuminator which creates a smooth base with a subtle golden glow. You can also apply it on top of foundation for a sheer highlight.

Gold Eyeshadows

After applying base makeup products, select a gold eye shadow. With options of powder, liquid and cream formulas, you can create a variety of different looks to suit your occasion. For an everyday wash of subtle gold shimmer, we recommend a powder shadow, such as the Illamasqua Powder Eyeshadow in the shade Hoard. If you’re looking for a more intense pigment, opt for a cream or liquid eyeshadow that you can pair with a powder for double intensity.

Gold Highlighter

Gold Highlighter is a highly flattering shade that looks good on all skin tones. Whether you prefer powder, cream or liquid formulas, there’s something for everyone in this luxe edit.
