Forget beige and black -- metallics are the new neutral. Besides the standard trio of gold, silver and bronze, variations like gunmetal and rose gold have been making their way down the runway and into our wardrobes -- and the best part about them is that they go with everything. Here's how to really make your metallic accessories shine.
Go for the Gold With Your Eye Makeup
Gold is a shade that flatters any eye color. Because it reflects light, it makes your eyes look bigger and wider. A line of gold eyeliner by itself or placed above your standard black eyeliner will make your eyes brighter and more vibrant.
A Sliver of Silver Around Your Waist
Instead of a brown or black belt, reach for something with a little sparkle. Pair a thin silver belt with other cool colors like royal blue or plum to really make it shine.
Unify Your Jewelry With Bronze Bracelets
No one will think of third place when they see you sporting these bangles. Use bronze pieces when you can't decide between your gold and silver jewelry; bronze makes the mix of metals seem purposeful.
Mix It Up With Rose Gold Lips
Pass on predictable pink and reach for a rose gold lipstick instead -- it adds a touch of originality. To create a rose gold lipstick, simply swipe on a muted pink lipstick and pat a creamy gold eye shadow on top.
Kick It in Gunmetal
If you're over your boring black shoes, replace them with gunmetal footwear. The color offers the same practicality and neutrality as black while being less predictable.
