Makeup trend for Spring/Summer 2009 is Metallic!

According to Style.com, today's trend for makeup is metallic look. With touches of copper, gold, or silver. This metallic touch even appears on hair and nails.

1. Nailing the Look
Known for a willingness to push beauty boundaries (the Barbados-born singer was formerly at the forefront of the bob movement), Rihanna has become something of a nail lacquer maverick of late, even sporting the occasional chrome manicure.

2. Midas Touch
At his first ready-to-wear show as the new global creative director of makeup for Chanel, Peter Philips painted the models' eyelids a copper-tinged gold. The golden pigment they wore in their hair was Odile Gilbert's addition.

3. All That Glitters
"I love making women look beautiful; I love makeup," Oscar de la Renta told us. That meant metallic jacquards and lavish embroidery on the runway, and for the eyes, shimmering pewter, copper, and gold, courtesy once again of Pat McGrath.

4. Killer Looks
Inspired by beetles and the praying mantis, makeup artist Stéphane Marais used metallic green liquid liner at Christian Lacroix's Fall Couture show to "get the power of fascinating predators." Man-eaters everywhere, take note.
