Be A Glow-Getter

Some say diamonds are a girl’s best friend. We’re partial to gold. Especially when it comes to our skin.

Our glow starts on the inside with a Signature Gold Treatment at the Dr. Hauschka spa ($270). After two hours of toxin-releasing massage therapy and the application of a facial mask made of pure gold leaf, we felt truly relaxed, radiant, and ready-to-glow.

Follow up with tools from Smashbox’s The Gold List ($56), including their Photo Finish Luminizing Foundation Primer to ready your skin and the O-Gloss in Gold Shimmer to add shine to any lipstick.

For a subtle sparkle that doesn’t scream drag queen, apply just a touch of Tarina Tarantino’s Sparklicity Pure Gold powder ($25) to your brow and cheekbones. Or brush it all over your face for an over-the-top gleam.

You know what they say. Glow hard, or glow home.
