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 |
High-shine, low-maintenance If you love sparkle and shine (guilty), then don't be afraid to recreate this look from the Chanel runway at home. When going for a super-glam look, DIY style, Stapleton recommends sticking with a neutral palate like this one (think silver, bronze or gold).
To get it, try a kit made specifically for high impact metallic sheen like Stila's Magnificent Metals Foil Finish Eye Shadow, $32, in Comex Platinum. Mix the primer and the shadow together, and then use a firm brush to apply the silver shadow over your eyelid, on your lower lash line and in the inner corner of your eye. If you are feeling extra bold, extend the shadow up to your eyebrows and balance it by taking it along the entire length of your brows. Smudge a creamy black liner along your lash line and finish with lots of mascara. Keep the rest of your look toned down with glowing skin and a natural lip.
