4. metallic eyeliner
add a touch of metallic to your makeup look with a bold eyeliner. choose a metallic shade that complements your eye color, such as gold for blue eyes or bronze for green eyes. apply the eyeliner along your upper lash line for a subtle pop of color or create a winged liner for a more dramatic effect. keep the rest of your makeup minimal to let your eyes shine! you need to try the urban decay 24/7 inks liquid eyeliner in deep end and the lancôme drama liquid-pencil dramatic eyeliner.
