Try Metallic Eyeliner

What You Want
Dazzling golden liner that sparkles subtly.
 
How to Get the Look 
 

  • Start with a neutral shadow that's one or two shades lighter than your skin. Dust on the lids up to the brows.
  • Line the upper lashes with a brown eye pencil. This gives you a guide to follow when you apply the gold liner on top. The brown liner will also soften the metallic effect.
  • Apply gold pencil liner. Choose a shimmery yellow gold; it will flatter most skin tones. "Stay away from formulations with chunky glitter particles, which often appear too sparkly," says New York City makeup artist Carlo Longo.
  • When the emphasis is on the eyes, wear neutral makeup on the rest of the face. "Less is more with this look," says Longo.
