The key to making a statement next season? A whole lot of gold. We first saw the metallic accent on the runway during New York Fashion Week, with gold dipped French manicures at Nicholas K and sparkly gold glitter eyes perfected by Aaron de Mey at Creatures of the Wind. Of course, leave it to Pat McGrath at the Thursday’s Prada show in Milan to take the look to a whole new level with a 24-karat pout.

“The clothes are so strong, we thought, ‘Why not do a mouth that’s punchy and really rich?'” McGrath told Vogue.com. Models hit the catwalk with shimmery gold lips and an otherwise bare face. While a gilded pout may not be your go-to on a daily basis, there are easy ways to add a bit of the Midas touch to your look. Below, five products that will brighten up your face for day or night.
