The style: Metallic eye makeup
The stars: Emma Watson at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in London, Kim Kardashian at Bloomingdale's in New York, and Olivia Wilde during the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival.
Why we love it: When we spotted this look all over the fall runways, our eyes lit up. Heavy metal hues make iris's pop whether you subtly line lids with shimmery eyeliner, or create an updated smoky eye with bold metallic creams and shadows. Warning: This sultry look may cause an I-can't-take-my-eyes-off-of-you effect from innocent bystanders.
How to pull it off: To keep the focus on your pretty peepers, stick to understated colours for cheeks and lips. While almost anyone can rock silver eyelid sparkle, choose golds or bronzes for warmer skin tones, and gunmetal or shiny blues and greens if your undertones are cool. Apply lightly to dress up a day look, and sweep on more intensely to amp up your evening appeal. Add in a little extra eyelash-batting and no one will be able to resist your dramatic gaze.
