"It's a rule-breaking trend, and that makes people feel empowered and in charge," says glossy lid queen and New York makeup artist Katie Jane Hughes. While it is a rebellious trend, there are a few rules, or guidelines rather, for successfully rocking the high-shine look. Here's how to pull it off without turning into a melted, sticky mess.
Keep glossy eye shadow looks simple, says Hughes. "A glossy lid will crease and become very textured after about 15 minutes," Hughes says. "The simpler the color under your gloss, the easier it is to maintain throughout the evening by simply smoothing with a brush or finger." Which is why she sticks with a single color or just concealer.
Now, that's not to say you can't rock eye gloss with a heavy smoky eye, just keep in mind that multiple colors and darker shadows have more obvious wear and tear. And if it's that editorial shine you're after, Hughes recommends a shimmer shadow, as the gloss will play on the already satiny texture.
Ahead, the must-have eye shadows and glosses for slaying the slick-eyelid look.
