How To Look Like 24K Gold For Your Big Night Out

Gold is the MVP for all your dance-parties. On TikTok, the viral #honeylips trend, recognised by its lush glassy look finish and a gold liner, has over 2.9 million fans. The high-lustre metallic hue was all the rage on the Fall 2023 runways as well. At Joseph Altuzarra’s show, imperfect gold lines were painted on top of a smudged liner. And at Chloé, models wore soft swipes of shimmer on their inner or outer corners of the eyes with an otherwise bare face.

“Most Indians have mostly olive skin tones, and gold compliments that very well,” says Mumbai-based bridal and celebrity make-up artist Mausam Gandhi. Playing with gold on the eyes instantly adds a punch of glam. Mausam recommends using gold pencil eyeliner or eyeshadow for a fail-safe look. To upgrade your look, she suggests trying a double-winged eyeliner — black along your lash line, with a thin line of gold parallel to it.  

Celebrity make-up artist Shraddha Inder Mehta — the woman behind Tara Sutaria’s dewy make-up — also loves playing with gold on the eyes. “I always finish with multiple coats of mascara and bold brows for a defined look,” she says.

“Gloss is back,” says Shraddha. Mausam agrees. Both are fans of an understated gold gloss to add a touch of glimmer to your makeup. For an all-out gold look, you simply cannot go wrong with a gold highlighter. A trick Mausam often uses on all her brides for their wedding day — a soft layer of a gold liquid highlighter underneath their foundation for a radiant finish. Start with an extremely light layer and carefully build it up till your skin looks seamlessly radiant.
