Festive Makeup: Glam Gold Eyes

Posted by Hafsa | Monday December 6, 2010

We gave you a taste of the golden holiday trend in our preview of gold brocade dresses, but this metallic is also rather easy on the eyes...

Charlize Theron, Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Hudson

Any eye colour can pull off this look. Add brown or copper tints like Charlize and Jennifer for a glowing effect, or dab some gold on your inner eye and use black eyeshadow to create a glamorous smokey eye Scarlett-style.

Try these products to recreate the looks:

(1) Bobbi Brown Long Wear Cream Shadow in 'Burnished'
(2) e.l.f. Mineral Eyeshadow in 'Celebrity'
(3) Hard Candy Eye Duo in 'Peace'
(4) L'Oreal Paris Le Kohl Eyeliner in 'Carbon Black'
(5) Lise Watier Feline Eyeliner HD
(6) NYX Eyeshadow in 'Pure Gold'
(7) Stila Eyeshadow Trio Gold Glow
(8) Urban Decay Eyeshadow in 'Eldorado'
(9) Milani Minerals Eye Shadow in 'Bronze Doll'
(10) Maybelline New York EyeStudio Eyeshadow Quad in 'Give Me Gold'

Do you love a golden look or is it too too for you?
