There's just something about rose gold.
The millennial-esque metal seemingly rose to prominence (no pun intended) following the release of the rose gold iPhone 8. After that, we descended into a full blown obsession and it hasn't subsided.
No one could resist making a rose gold iteration of their respective products, and the beauty industry was no exception. Suddenly, unicorns and mermaids were out and rose gold was in. Most recently, Smashbox Cosmetics released an entire collection of rose gold-themed makeup in collaboration with L.A.-based makeup artist Vlada Haggerty.
If there was any doubt that this colour trend was coming to an end, the onslaught of rose gold beauty products is enough to prove you wrong. Here are some of our favourites.
1. Smashbox + Vlada Haggerty Petal Metal Highlighter
If there's one rose gold product you need for the ultimate summer glow up, it's the Smashbox Petal Metal Highlighter in Rosemantic. One swipe of this highlighter on the apples of your cheeks will give you a duo chrome effect that takes advantage of every glint of sunlight. Plus, the rose-themed packaging is quite stunning.

You didn't think Rihanna would miss a chance to get in on the rose gold glory, did you? Her slightly gimmicky, but irresistibly cute Fairy Bomb Pom Pom is the perfect summer product to give your body an all over rose gold shimmer — in 3D no less.
