If you thought shimmery silver-lined eyes were meant only for the festive season, think again. Whether you’re heading out for a night on the town with your girls or just want to add some glitz to (another) boring day at work or want to jazz up a date night or shine at your best friend’s wedding, there’s a perfect silver for every occasion. With these silver eyeshadows that are packed with pigment and just the right amount of sparkle, it’s time to be the right kind of extra.
Here are some of our favorite silver eyeshadows that will help you unleash your inner glow goddess and go from ordinary to rocking in one fell swoop.
1. Wet n Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Glitter Single - Bleached
Loaded with some intense sparkle, this is our go-to silver eyeshadow for when we want to add some shimmer to our look. Add to that the fact that it doesn’t crease, stays put for hours (even through all that Saturday night dancing) and is infused with Aloe and Coconut oil that moisturizes, has us hooked. ’Coz girl, there’s really no such thing as too much glitter.
2. Kiko Milano Smart Colour Eyeshadow - 09 Metallic Moon Stone
We promise this eyeshadow from Kiko Milano is one of the most intense colors we’ve experienced. A mix of oils and pigments, this revolutionary formula glides on to your eyelids like an absolute dream. Since it’s super blendable you can wear it on top of other colors to add some extra shine. And the cute packaging will make you want to start collecting all the other colors from the range.
3. Miss Claire Baked Eyeshadow – 19
Tried and tested, this Miss Claire eyeshadow is highly pigmented, easy on the eyes and light on the pocket too. Wear it as is for an elegant daytime look or layer it on other colors for a more dramatic flair at night. No matter the occasion, you’re all set. For all you girls on the go, don’t leave home without this spill-proof, baked eyeshadow in your handbag.
4. Swiss Beauty Metallic Liquid Eyeshadow - 06
A shimmer eye hack in a tube, this liquid eyeshadow from Swiss Beauty has us floored. Its delicate pearl-finish combined with that silvery sheen adds just the right amount of oomph as you blink away all those glitter-haters. Painting your lids is now a cinch with its easy-to-use applicator which, BTW, also makes you feel like quite the accomplished artist.
5. Palladio Crushed Metallic Shadow - Zodiac
Palladio’s silver eyeshadow has a spectacular foil finish that catches light perfectly giving your eyelids a mirror-like finish. It’s so glittery, it almost looks like someone shattered a disco-ball but made it safe and creamy enough to smear smoothly over your eyes. This eyeshadow, which we’re crushing over, takes the phrase “twinkle in your eye” to a whole new level.
6. PAC Pressed Pigmented Eyeshadow - 03 Silver Ray
Creating the perfect silver smoky eye look couldn’t get easier with this easily-blendable PAC Pressed eyeshadow. Soft and creamy, it slides onto your eyelids with a matte (but not flat) finish. Why we love it even more? It’s so long-lasting that your lids will be glimmering through the day and well into the night without any reapplication. You can thank us later.
