Step-by-step guide to metallic eyes

Step 1: Applying eye shadow

Apply the metallic eye shadow between the lashes and the crease following the natural contour of the eye to give a hint of colour.

Step 2: Applying mascara

For a fresh, clean look simply add mascara to your upper lashes.

Step 3: Applying eye-liner

For a more dramatic, dressed-up effect apply eye-liner along the upper lash line taking it slightly up at the outer edges.

The finished look

The perfect metallic eye effect. It's easy to do at home and creates a stunning.

Tips

- Never take it up to the eyebrow as this looks too theatrical.
- Always use a natural coloured eye-liner such as black or brown with metallic eye-shadow
- Never match the eye-liner with the metallic eye-shadow as the effect will be too over-powering
