Get summer-ready peepers with budge-proof metallics
RELATED: What Makes A Good Summer Fragrance?
BLUE CRUSH
Cobalt, navy, or sky—whichever bluish shade you choose will definitely make heads turn.
Wear it boldly by coloring the entire lid (as seen here) or subtly by using a liner to add a
flick on the outer corners of your eyes. Our fave products to get this look are MAC’s In the
Shadows (P1350), NARS’s Ocean Drive High Pigment Longwear Eyeliner (P1450), and
LAURA MERCIER’s Caviar Eyeshadow Stick in Azur (P1695)
Insider tip: Instantly waterproof your makeup with GRWM’s Life-Proof Fixing Spray (P849)
BROW GAME
Keep strands in place 24/7 with K-PALETTE’s Nuance 1Day Tattoo Lasting Eyebrow Mascara (P645), a long-lasting brow sealer that’ll help you achieve the most sought-after feathered look
METAL MANIA
To get that perfect mermaid-like shine on your eyes, you’ll need to rely on a good makeup base like MAC’s Prep + Prime 24-Hour Extend Eye Base (P1750) to keep your eye shadow from sliding off. Our preferred playthings when it comes to metallics are PIXI’s Liquid Fairy Lights Eyeshadow in PixiGreen (P950) and Mineral Fusion’s Eye Shadow Trio in Jaded (P1195) (available at Healthy Options)
Makeup memo: When wearing a metallic eye, remember to keep everything else on the face simple. You want to place the bling on just one key area so that you don’t end up looking overdone
PINKY SWEAR
This color may look effortlessly pretty on cheeks, but it’s actually a bit of a challenge to wear it on your lids. To avoid looking like you’ve got pink eye (aka sore eyes), consider your skin tone before zeroing in on your choice of pink. If you’re fair, a soft pastel pink will look effortless and natural. Those with deeper skin tones can opt for darker pink hues. Our pink picks: SHISEIDO’s Pop PowderGel Eye Shadow in Waku-Waku Pink (P1550) and DEAR DAHLIA’s Paradise Shine Eye Sequins in Muse (P2050)
Pro product: Synchronized swimmers rely on waterproof tools like Make Up For Ever’s Aqua Seal (P1800), which virtually makes any makeup waterproof
