THE
GOLD COATS ARE COMING!
Here are some of my recommendations: From last month: Shu Uemura eye shadow in Gold (#390). I know you already went out and bought it after you read my column, so you're already one step ahead of the game.
Hard Candy has a reddish gold from the Old Skool Eye Shadow Quartet that was way ahead of its time. If you have not tried the Hard Candy eye shadows, please do. They are some of the best out there. I also hear that they are coming out with single color eye shadow compacts - the "loner" line. Can't wait! Anna Sui's Body Glitter #700 - not only does it make your skin glow, but it has that nice tea rose smell that her whole line of cosmetics has. Chanel Jour Nuit Metallic Nail Color - this is more of a pink with a gold undertone. Combining one of summers hottest colors with fall's? Definately a real winner. Those are some of my favorites to get you started. And remember: when wearing a bold color on your face, balance is key. Other goodies to try:
And last, from Vernique comes PINK SHOCK. This bright glossy claims to stain the lips with the hot gloss color. I wore it while shopping and it stayed dewy for quite a while. By the time I got back to the car a couple of hours later, most of the color was still there but the gloss had worn off. If anything, the color is beautiful and worth the $15 price tag. --Cybele Parsignault |
As
well as gold purses, gold jewelry and - most exciting - gold make-up.
Trend spotters at this year's fashion shows say gold will be THE color
of the fall, so start getting yourself together! 
Never
before has gold make-up been a forecasted trend, but the buzz is deafening
and cosmetic companies are hearing the roar and responding early.
Whether you choose a rich gold nail polish, a gold flecked body cream/powder
or a shimming gold eye shadow dusted heavily over the lid, the accent
will not go unnoticed. The look of gold make-up is clean and sophisticated
and it makes a very strong statement so balance is key; emphasize
the lips OR the eyes with gold, never both.

From
Also
a big "hurrah" to Tony & Tina's Herbal Aroma Lipgloss in Shamanka
(pinkish) and Prophetess (beige/brown). The beige is especially wonderful
accompanying a bold eye make-up. It has just the right amount of shine
and color for that "muted but there" look. Another plus is that they
are also nutritious for your lips. They contain Macadamia oil, Vitamin
E and Carrot oil to name a few.

Bumble and bumble comes their answer to the age-old headband.
It's a new fun twist for the modern woman - a sheer rubbery ribbon.
It looks like the Fruit Rollups that I used to eat as a teen (I had
to lick it to see if B and b was actually playing a joke on me). It
comes in fun flavors, er, ah, colors such as Fig, Berry, Smoke, Bottle
and Clear. © 2000 MASH magazine, All Rights Reserved.
