The makeup trend this fall is metallic eye shadow, thanks to the runway models at New York Fashion Week. But we’re not talking about the kind that teenagers would sport. This metallic eye shadow is something that has a shimmer and shine that is more luxurious and bold. Don’t think glitter – think truly metallic in these hot colours:
- rose gold
- silver
- gold
And if you want to get really bold, you can dab a bit on your cheekbones and brows (although that may be going a bit too far if you’re going to work.)
Do you think you can pull this look off at work? You can always dust your lids with a bit of shadow, just to give it a hint of colour. To make it stay put and prevent messes, prep your eyes with primer or concealer. This will also prevent the shadow from collecting in the fine lines and wrinkles of our eyelids, a concern for anyone who is starting to see the signs of aging.
