6 Metallic Eye Looks for Spring 2013

I hope you’re into heavy metal because the spring 2013 runways were on fire with ultraluxe shades of gold, platinum, silver, and bronze. Metallic makeup does not necessarily equate to glittery or super shimmery, and, when done right, can actually add a cool punch of color to your day or night look. Here’s how this trend is taking over this season.

Makeup artist, Pieroni applied a rusty gold powder (a mix of brown, bronze, and gold) to the eyes with a sponge-tip applicator. She swiped the blend of powders on the lids up to the brow bone, piling on more bronze close to the lash line for added intensity.

Best Beauty Standouts from the 2013 Oscars

Below are our picks for the leading ladies whose beauty looks stole the show along with how to re-create their statement hair and makeup. Makeup artist Patti Dubroff channeled the statuesque Chrysler building to create a strong and polished yet feminine makeup look for Naomi Watts. 1. Dubroff prepped Naomi’s skin with Chanel Hydra Beauty Serum around the perimeter of her face with a mattifying primer in the center. 2. Next, she used Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Ultra–Light Skin Perfecting Sunscreen Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 15 to even the skin and Chanel Liz Lumiere Smoothing and Rejuvenating Eye Contour Concealer around the eye area. 3. On the apples of Naomi’s cheeks, she dusted on Chanel Powder Blush in Pink Explosion for a very feminine flush adding Poudre Signee De Chanel Illuminating Powder to bring definition to her cheekbones. 4. For her eyes, Debroff applied a combination of Chanel Stylo Yeux Waterproff Long Lasting Eyeliner in Gris and Noir Intense to the inner rims and lash line and then blended to soften the look. She topped the pencil with Chanel La LIgne de Chanel Professional Eye-liner duo in Noir Lame. For the final sparkle she mixed Chanel Illusion D’Ombre Long Wear Luminous Eyeshadow in Fantasme and Epatant. 5. To complete the look, Dubroff curled the lashes and added two coats of Le Volume de Chanel Mascara in Noir and coated lips with Chanel Rouge Coco Hydrating Creme Lip Colour in Madamoiselle. Read More

Stila Glitter Eyeshadow Review

I love shimmer shadow. Especially for an evening out, I like to apply a subtle hint of sparkle over my regular matte shadow to create dimension and brighten the eye. This is a look that anyone at any age should try. That said, when choosing the formula, make sure you don’t see actual dots of glitter in the pot. The particles should be so tiny that when you dust the shadow on lids, it glistens. Stila’s new glitter shadows are the perfect example. Read More
