Get Gilded With Real Gold-Infused Makeup Picks

Gold is already an iconic color of summer, from shimmering beach sands to glowing sun-kissed complexions. But what about real gold? As extravagant as it sounds, the mineral is popping up in all sorts of makeup, from 24k-infused lip glosses and luxe powder eyeshadows to even golden hair pomade! Believe it or not, the extra bling really does serve a purpose beyond just being an indulgent added ingredient — gold flecks give formulas enhanced shine, and appears more subtly shimmery than some Mica-infused products that can appear too glittery or chunky. Believe it or not, most 24k products aren’t much more expensive than their less luxurious brand counterparts, so be careful not to get swindled into paying big bucks for the extra glitz!

One of my favorite gold-enhanced products on the market is Stila’s 24kt gloss. It’s not overly “gilded” like some golden glosses and instead simply adds a little gold-flecked sparkle to more wearable colors for the perfect amount of added summer shimmer. Probably the most “out there” product I’ve seen is Oribe’s 24k Hair Pomade, which depending on how generously you apply it, adds a gold-flecked protective coating on hair for a shimmery sun-reflective look that moisturizes and protects from heat while it shines. Talk about a summer glow!

  1. [...] Gold-infused makeup products are undoubtedly luxe, naturally luminous, and perhaps borderline extravagant, but they’re not necessarily a novel idea. However, Guerlain’s new gilded makeup base takes beauty decadence to a whole other level! Infused with real 24-carat gold, Guerlain L’Or Radiance Concentrate is said to perfect the appearance of your complexion with its light-reflecting flecks, but isn’t just about luminous looks. The cooling gel also infuses moisture into skin and smooths out skin’s tone and surface, creating an even base that helps makeup glide on effortlessly and prevents it from settling into fine lines or pores. While the product itself certainly looks expensive, I’m curious to see if the gold flecks really are what make this Guerlain primer such a cosmetic success, or if it’s more of a selling point to lure beauty mavens who love to lave themselves in lavishness. In any case, at $70, it’s certainly not a product you can afford to simply test out on a whim, though I’m almost tempted to buy it just to see how gorgeous it would look on my bathroom counter!
