We have our fingers on the pulse of the makeup sphere, we’re in line for the next big launches and we’ve always eyeing the radar for a new trend. But in the midst of all the shades, finishes and trends available to us, sometimes we just want a makeup look that’s dependable and easy to pull off.

From copper rimmed eyes to smoked-out winged makeup, the shade peaked that season. However, was a few seasons later in the Fall 2017 runways of Brandon Maxwell and Christian Siriano that we saw an encore. Soon enough, models, celebrities and beauty lovers everywhere were giving copper eye makeup their signature twist.
Fast forward to June 2017--if there’s one reason why this metallic shade has made such a splash, it’s because of how wearable it is for just about everyone. Whether you’re blonde or brunette, dark eyed or light, you just can’t go wrong with a metallic, copper eye. Another win for this makeup trend is the fact that be worked on in many ways, be it tight-lining, winged eyes or even a sultry smokey eye.
