As seen on the fall 2011 runways of Chanel and Derek Lam, silver-shaded eyes are a refreshing alternative to the classic smokey look. What is more, this is a makeup trend you can wear over the holidays and all the way into spring. It looks great on every skin tone and can be applied in a subtle or dramatic fashion. One of the easiest ways to get the look is to use a cream product such as Makeup Forever Flash Color Pot in Silver 003 and pat onto lids and inner corners of eyes for a modern, sparkling effect. For a more night time-worthy eye, begin this process by lining the top lids with a black pencil. Rimmel Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Pencil in Jet Black is affordable and effective. I like to lift the lid gently with a finger and work the pencil into the roots of the lashes. Smudge, and then blend the silver color on top of this. Finish with several coats of perfect black mascara such as Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill and pair with a nude or pale peach lipstick.
Makeup Forever Flash Color is available at Sephora for $17 a pot. Rimmel Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Pencil retails for $3 at most drug stores. Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill Mascara is available at Nordstrom for $30.
