gold beauty products
Unlike silver, gold comes in many skin flattering shades from rose gold which looks gorgeous on English roses to the bright, brash gold that highlights dark skin brilliantly. We might not all be able to adorn ourselves in gold jewellery but a product like Clarins\' golden skin perfector will give a lustre to your skin that is usually sported by Hollywood A-listers. So, be brave and in the run up to party season hang on to your handbag because we\'re heading for a gold rush...
