Are You Over the Gold Beauty Trend?

July 14, 2008

I love that metallics have made a huge comeback, but what I had expected to be a blip in time has lasted well over two years. With some of the collections I've been able to take a peek at for Fall 2008 (especially the one from Chanel), it looks like heavy metals are here to stay, especially decadent gold beauty treats.

I had a love affair with gold polish ever since I saw Heidi Montag and Lauren Conrad from The Hills rocking gilded nails, but now I'm getting a little bit tired of it. I can't say I'm surprised: Gold is a bold, trendy look, and trends do tend to come and go. How about you? Are you a golden girl, or are you over it?

I really like metallic makeup it really lights up your face and I'd like to see them stick around.

I am not a gold girl so I never was into this trend.

I think it's a classic and goes with a lot of styles and outfits..Like if I was going to some party or a wedding, with a gold or oxydee dress gold makeup would make it so glamourous and chic!

I'm tired of gold everywhere. Gold, gold, gold.

I've been wearing golds on my eyes for quite a while, and they really bring out the green in them. But I've never been one for the gold-on-cheeks thing, and purely gold-colored lip things make me look very strange indeed. So my style shall keep being my own.

I'm over gold alltogether... I have never liked it... looks cheap and tacky... on ANYTHING!

Never! I love gold everything... it can be very flattering on some people.

I've liked gold for many years and its annoying that people suddenly made it a trend and they're now saying its over. I hate all trends for that reason.

I have no problem with it, but I don't wear gold...not even jewelery unless its white gold. It just does not suit my colouring at all..I tend to prefer cooler colours with the exception of greens, where I like lemon-limey ones. On the other hand, I love silvery and charcoal-y metallics, even bronzes are ok. But out-and-out gold on me looks harsh, brassy and clashes with virtually everything about me.

Nah, I never noticed how much there was til now, but it looks great on my olive skin, so I'm stickin' to it.

I wore gold makeup long before it became a trend, and will continue to wear it long after it's 'out'.

I'm in the "so what if it's 'Out', it looks good on me" camp. I like trends because they give me an excuse to try new things, but if something works for me, I tend to stick with it. Gold shadow/liner brings out the gold flecks in my eyes, so I'm for it.
