My big summer 'YES' and 'NO'

YES YES YES to metallic eyeshadow. Magazine after magazine has produced double page spreads this summer of our favourite celebrities and catwalk models rocking the metallic eye. I personally always wear a shimmer eyeshadow, just to brighten up any tired eyes, but this trend is bang on for everyone! 100% yes to gold and bronze shades for green eyed girlies and silver or copper for blue eyed beauties. Brown eyed girls are lucky enough to have the whole pallette to choose from, a metallic colour like pink or blue is especially flattering and a bit more out there, and a shimmery green is perfect for darker skin tones. 

NO to stick on gold tattoos! Each to their own on this one, but in my opinion they are pretty awful. I have been surrounded by girls at festivals this summer who are covered bindi to anklet in these Aztec stickers. In my opinion, the last time it was okay for anyone to wear a temporary tattoo was when we were 8 and it was of Hello Kitty at a school fair, or a skull and cross bones from a bubblegum wrapper in the local sweet shop. Not only do they look cheap, if one does not have a deep mahogany tan, they cease to stand out. I understand the Grecian godess look that is being sought after, but I strongly suggest Acessorise, Asos or Primark for some cheap golden bangles instead. 

To achieve an effortlessly cool festival look I do suggest these golden stickers be left for greetings cards only.
