Whether we’re talking fashion, beauty or hair, metallics have never been so on trend. We’ve seen models strutting their stuff down the runway in head to toe silver styles at London Fashion Week, inspiring influencers to also up the ante with some incredible metallic looks.

L’Oréal Professionnel is ready to help you achieve these coveted looks with the launch of Majirel Metals. With three high-shine shades – including Platinum and Rose Gold, boosted in reflects to achieve that polished metallic finish – these shades provide a glossy, reflective, on-trend color.
