Metallic Eyeshadows




Eye shadow is the most creative process when it comes to doing your makeup. You have so much freedom to do anything you want to make your eyes pop. There are so many eye shadows to choose from. They range anywhere form glitter, matte, dark, neutrals, bold, and metallic. I am sure I am missing some more but those are the most common.


The trend I will be talking about is called "The Watery Eye" which means that the eye shadow, a shimmering metallic shade, is wiped across the lids. This effect will be left with a soft wetness, hence the name of this trend. This look was first seen at the Derek Lam's Show back in 2013. Then this trend took off and was seen at many other shows, each one giving it their own twist on the look.


This look gives your eyes sheer shimmer which brings out the natural look of your eyes. It makes it look as if your eyes are glowing because of how sheer and shimmer it is.


How to get the look:
Step one- prime your eyelids
Step two- choose a sheer metallic eye shadow-usually a neutral color but you can try darker colors. The creamy eye shadows work best because it gives that wet look and if it isn't creamy enough then add a little bit of Vaseline.
Step three: Swipe across the lids
