A great way to dress up your eyes is with a metallic shadow. Some of the more popular metallics include cool silver, warm gold and shimmering bronze and copper shades, but you will also see blue, green and gray metallic hues, too.You can apply these shadows in the same you apply your other colors, but the look of these shimmery shiny shadows is really stunning. Here are some simple steps to get a nice look with a gold metallic shadow.
To start, apply a beige liquid shadow over your eye area, or a primer/concealer made specifically for the eyes. This will create a neutral canvas for your shadow. If you use the liquid shadow, blot the excess with a tissue and allow the area to set and dry completely.
Next, take your large eyeshadow brush and brush your shadow on to your eye, starting in the center of the eye and extending from crease to lash line. Pull the shadow out to a point on the outside corner of each eye.
Apply a very thin line of brown or bronze eyeliner to your upper and lower lashes. For night time wear, you can add some gold liner to the lower lash line for some extra pop.
Finish the look off with a couple of coats of volumizing mascara.
The next time you are shopping for makeup, try a few of these metallic shadows and create a stunning look that will bring your eyes center stage.
