Metallics are associated with luxury and elegance. Whether you’re going for subtle glamour or all-out dazzle this spring, metallic accents are a great way to heat up your look!

The best way to tell whether an eyeshadow you’re buying is metallic is to test it on the back of your hand – simply looking at the color won’t do the trick. Metallics have exceptional reflective abilities and superb coverage. Rubbing it on the back of your hand should look like a thin layer of foil has been painted onto your skin – think the gold leaf effect.

The results you can achieve with a metallic eyeshadow are truly stunning. Dip a thin, wet brush into the powder and use it as eyeliner or paint the entire lid for a mesmerizing liquid gold effect!
