The world of makeup is both exciting and surprising; it’s impossible to predict what might emerge as the next big trend. You’ve seen golden smokey eyes and bold gold lips but did you ever imagine gold leaf to become a part of makeup? Nor did I! Wasn’t it designed to make our desserts look royal?
Odd as it may sound at first, we are totally sold at the idea because believe it or not, the gold flake eyeshadow looks stunning AF! If your makeup style is experimental and you would love to bling it on, here are a few looks to get you started!
Golden wings
Go bold or go home! If you are down to try this makeup trend, you have to get comfortable being OTT because this look is not for the faint-hearted. To make sure you get the wings perfect, draw an outline and then stick the gold leaf inside it to get the perfect look.
All that glitters is gold
Clean face and gold flakes? Bring it on! This look requires the least efforts and still looks stylish AF! Start from the centre of your eyes and go all the way up to your hair. Be as messy as you want, just keep the rest of your makeup toned down.
Gold flake liner
This intricate eye look is perfect for someone just stepping out of their comfort zone (makeup-wise). Line the lids with your favourite eyeliner pencil and then stick the gold leaf on top of it to get the perfect gold flake liner.
Inner corner highlight
If you love eye makeup, you’d know what highlighting the inner corner does to your look. Skip the eyeshadow altogether and simply dab some gold flakes on the inner corner of your eye to up the glam quotient instantly.
