From the disco ball era of 1980-whatever to gracing the cover of Beyoncé’s RENAISSANCE album artwork, it’s safe to say that silver is back, better and shinier than ever! Transcending its classic confines as wearable jewellery, this light-reflecting metal now adorns our lips and lids like any bracelet or earring would. Insert star emojis…

Manifesting within the beautysphere in the form of molten pigments, iridescent shimmers and glacier-like lipglosses, this high-shine hue is here to stay!
Shall we call this ‘Magpie Make Up’? If that’s not yet a thing, allow us to make it one. Encouraging flirtatious light flickers, RÓEN’s52° Cool Eyeshadow Palette lends your lids the most illuminating wash of glimmer. A four-pan colour story that makes applying eyeshadow that much easier. Taking the hassle out of blending, these dreamily creamy shades work together (or on their own) to add depth and dimension to your eyes with a frosted finish. Amping up your look with runway-ready flawlessness, this wardrobe of wearable jewellery takes your glam from here to here!
