If you didn’t see metallic makeup everywhere this summer, where have you been? From the runway to our new-in pages, metallic makeup is the ‘in thing’ and it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere any time soon.

“We’ve seen it on catwalks everywhere, from Chanel to Dior, and it takes the ongoing glowy skin trend in makeup to its highest extent. It’s fresh, youthful, but impactful: metals are the ultimate look for this festive season. Go wild with our Artist Metallic Matte lipsticks and Star Lit powders as the perfect Christmas accessories or stay in your comfort zone sculpting your cheekbones with our Artist Face Color highlighters.”

Of course, there will always be a place in our heart for matte makeup, but sometimes a little space is healthy – right? That being said, it goes without saying that metallic makeup can seem quite daunting at first, but it needn’t be. Metallic makeup can actually be quite wearable and I am here to show you how.

So, whether you’re wanting to get a little more glow this festive season or you’re just all about metal effects, see how I plan on wearing this trend below…

MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua XL Ink Liner – Waterproof Eyeliner

One of the most subtle ways to incorporate metallic makeup into your everyday routine is a metal effect eyeliner. The perfect way to give your look a glamorous edge, glitter liner is the ideal choice for someone that wants to ease their way into metallic makeup.

The MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua XL Ink Liner – Waterproof Eyeliner in ME 42- Metallic Gold is a sure-fire way to not only rock this trend but also make the eyes pop. Beautiful against all eye colours, this shimmering golden hue is fast-drying and waterproof, so you can rest assured that your look will stand the test of time. Easy to apply, the liquid liner has a precise applicator that glides over the lid with ease, allowing you to get super close to the lash line.

MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Matic Waterproof Eye Shadow

Want to go metallic with minimal effort? This is the one for you! The MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Matic Waterproof Eye Shadows are not only quick and easy to use, but they come in an array of show-stopping metallic finishes!

ME32 – Metallic Golden Khaki is my hands down favourite from the line-up; its soft emerald green hue is woven with gold shimmer, which catches the light beautifully and makes eyes immediately stand out. Ultra-smooth, the formula is smudge-proof and waterproof, so it’s an excellent match for anyone that wants to create a long-lasting, fool-proof look.
