• Tips & Warnings

  • It is better to use eye brushes for applying and blending the eyeshades and to avoid using fingers. The eye shadows can stick to your fingers and create a very messy look when they spread to the other parts of your face your fingers touch during eye makeup. • Even if gold eye shade is your favorite, it is better not to wear too much of it. It is better to keep your golden eye makeup simple and light. Therefore, choose complimentary colors to go with your golden eye makeup. • It is not a good idea at all to wear gold lipstick and gold shimmer on your cheeks with golden eye makeup. • Super-sparkly gold and the super-bright eye shades are perfect choice for teenagers. On the other hand, if you are not a teenager, then avoid these eye shades and go for a sheer gold shimmer which highlights your eyes and adds glow to your eye makeup. • While applying black eye shadow to the crease of your eye, make sure to blend it only on the outside edge of your eyes in order to avoid more teeny and beady look. • Although shimmer makes eyes really pop, but at the same time, it also highlights the minute eye lines and wrinkles. Therefore, it is better to apply only a bit of gold shimmer to your brow bone. • It is better to use waterproof mascara and eyeliner in order to avoid their spreading, especially during the summer season when sweating extends them and creates an untidy look. • Do not open your eyes until your eye liner and mascara dry completely. • Do not apply deep gold color to your brow bone unless it is a neutral color. • Last but not the least; make sure all the beauty products used in wearing a gold eye shadow are of good quality to create an impressive look.
