We don’t often talk about bridal makeup, because many of us prefer classic makeup in neutral tones. But when your wedding is scheduled close to Christmas, you need to shine! I suggest you to give preference to metallic eye makeup, because it suits all skin tones, and I’ve never seen a bad photo of a bride who has chosen to sport iridescent peepers. However, it’s very versatile, which means you can perfectly wear metallic eye lids from day to night.
What Metallic Eyeshadow To Choose?
Metallic finishes seem to have underlying gold or silver shimmer to give a more foiled effect. They look shiny and resemble actual metal like gold, silver, foil, copper and bronze. This works well on ebony or darker skin tones.

How To Apply Metallic Eyeshadow?
Be daring and choose full on smokey or for a softer look give preference a subtler, sparkly makeup. Just one more thing to remember: when painting your eye lids in metallic eye shadows, keep the rest of the face as neutral as possible.
Perhaps the easiest way to create a beautiful metallic eyeshadow look is by packing a single wash of metallic color onto your lids. First, prime your eyelids with an eyeshadow primer or concealer and blend it out with your fingertips or a flat eyeshadow brush. Then, apply a metallic eyeshadow and blend the edges with a fluffy eyeshadow brush. Finally, top off the look with your favorite mascara.
Adding a pop of metallic shimmer to the center of your eyelids as the focal point of a smokey eye is a perfect way to get in on the trend. Start by creating your smokey eye as usual. To make it metallic, you can replace your base shade with a shimmering option, or you can apply a metallic shadow on the center of the lids right before applying eyeliner. Adding metallic shine just to the center of the eyelids with your fingers adds just the right amount of dimension to the look. Define your upper lash line by creating winged eyeliner with a pigmented eyeliner pencil or a liquid eyeliner. Top off your look with a volumizing mascara that will complement the boldness of your smokey eye.
If you’re looking to create a bold, eye-catching look, try creating graphic eyeshadow using just a metallic shade. When it come to graphic eyeshadow, you can get as creative and intricate as you’d like 一 or you can keep it simple while still making a statement. Start by packing your metallic eyeshadow on top of your eyeshadow primer with your fingers for maximum shine and color payoff. Clean up the edges and define your graphic shape with a pointed cotton swab and micellar water. Apply a lengthening mascara. This is a great pick for a graphic eyeshadow look because it will define and lengthen the lashes without overpowering or distracting from the focal point of the look.
