2. Nail enamel in Gold Coin

3. Nano Gold Firming Treatment

Not your average moisturiser – this pricey product is formulated with gold particles as well as antioxidants and collagen-boosting extracts.

£280, Chantecaille, liberty.co.uk

4. Shimmering Cream eye colour in GD803

Achieve an iridescent eye by using a cream colour rather than powder. This works best in a metallic finish as the light pigments reflect.

5. Radiance Concentrate with Pure Gold

For a luminous glow to skin, apply this base infused with 24-carat gold, which aims to give an even finish.

6. 24/7 Waterproof liquid eyeliner in Eldorado

Why not experiment and try a golden liquid liner? It's surprisingly subtle when used thinly, adding just a sparkle.
