Metallics are one of the big beauty trends for the summer as they are a really easy way to freshen up a look, according to an expert.Jess Wood, fashion features editor at Marie Claire, says that these colours also work well with neutral tones, so whether ladies are looking to inject the shade into their make-up or their outfit, they can work with products and garments that they already have.She says that this shade has come back along with the return of 80s trends and has been in part inspired by the likes of Kate Moss."There' s a lot of sequins and tuxes around so there's a lot of mixing metallics, throwing them over something much more casual like a white Tee and jeans," Ms Wood explains.Vogue magazine has also listed heavy metals as one of the major trends for spring and summer 2009, saying that these colours are "attention-grabbing".(c) 2008 Adfero Ltd.
