I think that with any metallic look, there is a tendency to want to maximize sparkle by dousing yourself in glitter. While there is a time and place for that, there is also a subtler way to shine. Incorporating flashes of rose gold throughout your look will impart a beautiful radiance that is universally flattering, yet a bit flirty and unexpected.

- While rose gold can strike a balance between warm and cool-toned skin, consider whether or not the product you’ve selected leans one way or the other. If you have cooler undertones, try finding a hue that is a touch more pink than gold. Conversely, if you have a warm undertone to your skin, opt for a color that is more gold-based.
- Rose gold is one of the few colors that can be neutral and bold, which makes it is perfect for a monochrome look! As always, mix up your finishes and textures to create interest. Experiment with combining shimmers, mattes, and satins to create drama and depth.
- Be careful with rose gold eye shadow and eyeliner. Too much rose around the eyes or the wrong shade can make it look like you have an eye infection. Eeks! Sticking to pale rose golds or those that are more on the gold end of the spectrum will prevent this effect.

- Rose gold often blends well with rich browns. For an alluring smoky eye, try smudging a brown eyeliner along your lash line and then up into the outer corners of your eyes for a sultry finish.
- Applying a shimmery gold highlighter to the tops of your cheekbones after you have added a rose-toned blush to the apples of your cheeks will create a beautiful, luminous effect. You can also get your glow from a rose gold highlighter, such as RMS Beauty Master Mixer.
- There are a myriad of rose gold lip products on the green beauty market! One of my personal favorites is Iko Iko from Ilia Beauty. However, you can also create an amazing rose gold lip by applying a gold gloss on top of a rose lipstick.

With its ability to bridge the gap between cool-toned complexions and gorgeous, warm-toned skin, rose gold is a stunning, versatile hue!
