Edgy Glam
The Fall runways said bring on the party make-up, and we’re here to listen. Chloé’s runway dazzled with glimmers of silver, gold, and bronze, setting the tone for the metallic magic that adorned several shows this season. Whether you choose to sweep on a shimmery eyeshadow or swipe a winged eyeliner, this trend lets you play with different levels of drama and intensity. Pro-tip, add a matte shade of the same colour first, and always use a primer to ensure the metallic pigments sticks. Not to mention, why stop at the eyes? Add an extra touch on your lips and cheekbones to deliver an luminous, iridescent sparkle.
