We’re cool with matte. Don’t get us wrong. It’s just that recently we’ve been swooning over the undeniable power of its metallic counterpart with a kiss of copper. Judging by the glistening lids and polished puckers we've seen on some of our favorite television personalities recently, we're guessing that we're not alone in our obsession. Let’s admit that there’s something comforting about leaning on some good metallic magic especially when those Friday nights just don’t to go as planned. Well, shake it off and chin up as we’ve carefully handpicked five glimmering, mirror-like potions that are almost too good to be true.
MOLTEN KISS
Let’s talk about foil lips for a moment, shall we? The thing about a good metallic smear is that it can either go really wrong or come out super victorious. Our agenda is the latter, thus presenting the Maybelline New York Color Sensational Matte Metallic Lipstickin the shade Copper Spark. Enriched with a plush glistening texture, this higher-than-average lipstick with an impressive pigment concentration gives lips a blast of colour, shine and radiance.
FOIL LIDS
If you prefer playing it safe in the game of shimmer and shine, we’ve got just what you need. The NYX Professional Makeup Metallic Eyeliner. Formulated with a rich blend of pigments for amazing color payoff, this pencil is smudge-proof. Which means it won't budge no matter how much you sweat (or cry). Available in six dazzling shades, try the shade Copper considering it being the trending shade of the month. That way you stay relevant too.
SHIMMER SPRINKLE
Many tend to shy away from loose pigments from fear of makeup meltdowns. We’re here to say that the Glamgals Diamond Powder - Copperis here to change your mind. What’s great about this little tub of metallic coppery love is that you can use it with and without a shadow base. A little eye primer is all you need to lock it down. Plus, this powder is so reflective, your eyelids will literally give out mini disco vibes.
CHROME DIP
Here’s some shade inspiration. Enter Copper Age. This fantabulous tint from our very own Nykaa Mirror Chrome Nail Lacquerrange is what you’ve been looking for (yes, we can read your mind). Besides promising a UV filter and reflective perfection, this polish comes with a powerful Insta-Dri quality, which means they're designed to dry in 60 seconds.
SHEEN SHADOW
Go all in and coat your entire lid with the Palladio Crushed Metallic Shadowin a single swipe from your lash line all the way to your creases for a bold, badass look. You should totally try the shade Eclipse. Also, no pressing, sealing, or blotting required. This shadow formula is so smooth and packed with high-shine pigments you can blind the haters with every blink. No questions asked, just keep shining.
