Holiday Forecast: You Need to Try a Metallic EyeWhether you like subtle sparkle or want to bring the drama with tons of shine, consider this your guide to the season's metallic eye trend |
Coming up roses Rose gold has been popping up everywhere this season, so it was only a matter of time before it hit our eyelids. Pull off this color like Demi Lovato by using a redness reducing primer before applying your foundation to zap any ruddiness (the rose tones in the shadow can emphasize redness).
Then apply a shadow like Bobbi Brown Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow, $21, in Rose Gold, over your eyelid and smudge it along your lower lash line. Take a shimmery champagne hue, like CoverGirl Eye Enhancers 1-Kit Shadows, $3.19, in Champagne, and dust it in the inner corner of your eye. Apply a thick line of liquid liner to your upper lash line, waterline your lower lash line with a black cream pencil, and then pile on the mascara.
Or if you want to try something unexpected with your metallic eye, Stapleton says you can swap the basic black liner you normally waterline with for a metallic one (we love MAC Kohl Power Eye Pencil, $21, in Orpheus). This adds a subtle sparkle and is a unique touch that opens up your eyes.
