Summer Metallics

0.5 min read

If you dare to sparkle, indulge SS15’s summer metallic trend with a glitter-spangled eye. Team with jet-black eyeliner for a dramatic evening look or a light sprinkling of gold for a shimmering daytime alternative.

If summer nights have got you feeling dark and dramatic decorate your lash-line with slick eyeliner and escaping silver glitter fluttering up to the brow bone. Tom Ford reminds us that metallics don’t have to spangle with a gun metal grey smoky eye teamed with lashings of mascara – glitter or no glitter, all eyes will be on your metallics.

Anna Sui’s delicate dusting opens the eyes by decorating the lids in patches. Teamed with a light brush of mascara, it’s a subtle, feminine look that transforms the sidewalk into the runway. Match your shadow to your jewellery and keep your skin barefaced – it’s the cool girl’s approach to beauty this season.
