Forget the statement necklace. Instead, pair your strapless dress or plunging neckline with a hint of sexy gold shimmer on your collarbones and décolletage, like Jessica Alba. Try Kopari Coconut Body Glow, $42. It's superhydrating, because it's made with 100 percent organic coconut oil, and contains golden, pearly minerals that make skin look radiant.
If there's anyone who has harnessed the power of the sun to glow like an ageless, flawless human being, it's Jennifer Lopez. Whether you're planning on flaunting a mini dress or an on-trend midi dress this holiday season, if your legs are showing, a little body shimmer can go a long, long way. Think of it like highlighting for your legs. Try Scott Barnes Body Bling, $42, which gives skin a golden sheen with a hint of tan.
You don't need to fear pairing body shimmer with an equally embellished dress. Exhibit A: Kim Kardashian glowing like, well, a golden gramophone as she walked the carpet at the Emmys. Slathering yourself with a shimmery, golden lotion masks imperfections, makes your legs look supermodel long and also helps you fake that I-just-cleansed-for-10-days glow -- even if your diet has steadily been cookies and stuffing. Try Red Carpet Kolour Body Glow, $49.95. It comes in three shades, applies just like your favorite body lotion and won't transfer onto your clothing (or your hostess' white couch).
A plunging back is arguably one of the sexiest trends (see Jourdan Dunn as proof), as it's an unexpected way to show some skin. To make this come-hither style live up to its full potential, skip the gold eye makeup and employ a gold-infused body oil, like Shiffa Luxury Gold Body Glow, $68, instead. This incredibly nourishing formula contains jasmine, lemon, orange and argan oils, along with real gold pieces, to make skin look healthy and youthful.
