Roundup: Gilt by Association
Gilding, which is defined as covering something thinly with gold leaf or gold paint, can add a glamorous touch to common objects. While the luxurious look of a gilt item may be specious, it's all the while beautiful, and I can't help but want one for myself. Be it a gilt twig bowl or a perfume bottle painted with gold flowers, that metallic shimmer is every bit elegant.

Hair was pulled back and teased in the front to create a kind of frizzy, wind-blown effect, whilst makeup was controlled yet luminous using toned down metallics.
