Precious Metal

Metallics are going to be huge this fall. Judging from fashion line previews that we’ve seen, we predict that they will be all over the runways next month. Many makeup brands are also incorporating metallic elements into their color collections – ranging from subtle to bold to don’t-try-this-at-home. For those who are curious about metallic makeup and want to experiment, but stay “safe,” Bobbi Brown brings you the perfect assortment of eyeshadows in their Fall Metallic Eye Shadow Collection.

True to Bobbi Brown’s philosophy, this collection retains its classic feel but adds a bit of edginess. As expected, the collection contains a range of staple colors like browns, beiges, golds and taupes but updated with a little (or a lot) of glitter. What I find exciting, however, are the colors that I wouldn’t normally turn to such as Mint- a cool, shimmery green shade. I like to use this as a day look so the color really stands out and I find that it adds a lot of light and sparkle to my eyes. I particularly like wearing this when pairing with greys.
