DIVING INTO THE METALLIC EYES MAKEUP TREND

Want to know how to achieve the best of both worlds? We sat down with Sasha, Code8’s Global Makeup Artist & Brand Trainer, for some tips on how to achieve a sheer metallic eye, in 5 minutes!

You can use any of the shimmery shades from the Iconoclast Eyeshadow Palette range. After a golden-hour inspired look? Opt for Burnt Sienna. Or if you’re feeling bold, both Jaipur Marbles and Velvet Chrome have super wearable metallic colour-pop shades.

Looking for a more sheer finish? Use your finger to sweep your desired shade across your lids. Dare to try a more intense block of colour? Wet a flat eyeshadow brush with water, and gently press the powder onto the eyelid, building until you have created your desired look.
