SST! IT’S TIME TO STEP INTO THE LIGHT BECAUSE METALLIC SHADOW HAS THE
power to dress up your eyes without being demanding. “It makes your eyes stand out and
offers a lot of impact, but it doesn’t take long to do,” says hair and makeup artist Sheri Stroh,
“plus everything else on your face can be very simple.”
Partial to contrasts, Stroh prefers bronze eyeshadow tones on fair complexions. “They add
a little more depth to the eyes, so they're not wa shed out,” she says. For a nyone with a medium
skin tone, Stroh goes for gold. “It gives a glow, which is really beautiful,” she says, “and it can
be more monochromatic and blend in with the warmth of your skin tone.” For those who are
rich in melanin, it’s all about silver. “I love how it pops on deep skin, even with just a little bit
of product,” says Stroh, noting that any metallic shadow can be used to line eyes for a subtle effect.
And don’t forget to layer, advises Stroh. “Bronze is more forgiving, but lighter metallics can look stark if you don’t
put a base shade underneath.” To add dimension, she pairs gold with warm brown and grounds silver using black. “I
always suggest playing around with it,” she says. “Start off with less and build it up if you want more. If you’re prone
to under-eye circles, you can omit putting it under the eyes or use a lighter shade. Or do a thin line that’s close to the
lashes so you’ll still get a bit of definition.”
Speaking of lashes, they need love, too! “Mascara is key: It finishes off the look,” says Stroh.
