Play up the drama this fall with a beauty trend that we love: metallic lids! Now, we aren't talking crazy middle school–esque eye shadow — we mean subtle hints of shine and shimmer to create a dynamic and ethereal effect.
Let's rewind back to the Valentino show (pictured above), where makeup artists used glints of gold on the eyes. While it's not a traditional example of a metallic look, it's a great use of shine which not only brightens up the face but also creates a pretty, angelic effect that is universally flattering. The white, shimmery liner opens up the eyes and instantly boosts the appearance of the lashes without having to go crazy with mascara. This look is great for day-to-night wear, because it's subtle enough for work but not too clean for cocktail hour. If gold isn't quite your cup of tea, give bronze or silver a try. Oh, and if you're feeling extra adventurous, line your Cupid's bow with a little shimmer — just like the models at Valentino.
