Go Matildas

Green and gold is a two colour face that has to hold up under stadium lights and sun, so this collection favours saturated, opaque cakes over pastel ones: TAG's 32g Medium Green and Light Green cakes sit either side of Fusion's Prime Fresh Green and Lime Green, and TAG's Pearl Gold and Diamond FX's Metallic Gold 30g cake carry the gold half without going yellow.

Cheering section extras

• TAG Puff Glitter 60ml in Crystal Green and Lemon Zest, for a puffer bottle finish over a set base rather than loose glitter needing its own adhesive.
• TAG Chunky Glitter 10g in Green and Aqua, for individual sparkle flecks along the cheekbone.
• Radical Paints 40ml Green and Fluro Neon UV Green, for a green that lifts under UV lighting at night matches.

Mehron's Creamblend Stick in Green is worth keeping in the kit bag for quick touch ups between faces where a full cake and sponge is overkill. One item here, Leanne's Purple Pixie split cake, does not fit the green and gold brief and looks filed into this collection by mistake. For the same gold worked into a different colour pairing, see our St Patricks Day collection.
