Gold Eyeshadow Makeup Instagram

Gold eyeshadow flatters any skin tone and goes beyond just being a spring beauty trend. It can be soft, dramatic and accentuate the eyes. Creating a gold eye is a practice in blending. Start with a deeper shade of eyeshadow and blend into a seamless base. Next, go in with your gold shade, layering and blending for a wash of gold. After curling your lashes, line your eyes with our brown Black Magic: Cocoa Edit Pencil Eyeliner then coat lashes with Black Magic: Cocoa Edit Mascara: the perfect accompaniment to golden eye makeup.

Natural glow

For simplicity, swipe your eyes with our Double Act Shadow Stick in Yang, covering the eyelid. This will give you the dewy and highlighted Instagram-approved eye makeup look. Use our Black Magic: Cocoa Edit Mascara to add a bit of subtle drama to the lashes, opening the eyes further.
