Every woman can use some extra shine now and then. There’s obviously endless ways to incorporate this with your clothing choices, but what about your makeup? With the holidays right around the corner, darlings, it might be time to spice up your makeup with a look straight off the runway—metallics. From gold to copper to silver and rose gold, metallics are all over fall fashion including makeup.

I personally don’t wait for a special occasion to add shine to my look. My everyday eyeshadow, Sisley Paris’s silver shadow( Buy it here: $54 at Bloomingdale’s) has a sheen to it that glams up my every day without being too over-the-top.

How to choose the right metallic for your skin tone

Not all metallics look good on everyone which is why you need to know if your skin has warm or cool undertones. There is a great chart on Beautiful with Brains that can help you determine if you have cool or warm undertones. You can read it here. The main gist is if you have warm skin tones you should lean more towards gold and bronze colors. If you have cool tones rose gold and silver will be more complimentary to you.

So now that you’ve decided maybe a metallic is a good idea here are some products to consider:

Eyeshadow

Possibly the most obvious place to add the shine of a metallic would be your eyeshadow. Even if you don’t want to go with one of the main metals you can choose a shadow with a sheen— just avoid shadows that are labeled as “matte.”

Eyeliner

This would be far more subtle than going all in on a metallic eyeshadow, but it could still spice up a look. And if you want something even more unexpected consider metallic mascara.

Nail polish

This really is a commitment since nail polish lasts far longer than a night of makeup, but I guess you could always take it off if it’s not your “look.” If you are someone who perpetually opts for darker colors or polishes with less texture I don’t recommend doing this before a big event. It can be a shock to the system. Try it out on a normal week first.
