Hi guys,

I love this "liquid gold"-look on photos like these:

Does anyone know what kind of product was used?

Thanks

I think Mehron metallic powders work best for this--they are amazing!

You will also want to get the mixing liquid to get that smooth look you seem to be going for.

I have done a high gloss silver which involved primer, a black base and then Buxom Silver shadow on top and building multiple layers to get the look I wanted

But for Gold I think the stila has some really good metallic foil finish shadows

I have been itching to try some of this for an editorial http://www.sears.com/zink-color-zink-co … 6872253013

Mehron.  This image is actually copper not gold - but great in all four color choices

Mehron Metallic Powders mix with Mehron Mixing Liquid.
Comes too in a small set.

I am pretty sure that CRC carries them and that they should ship to you.
