Many girls mistakenly believe that makeup with golden shadows is only suitable for dark-skinned and brown-eyed people. However, this is not true - golden shades look equally good on pale girls with blue, green and gray eyes.

It is also a mistaken belief that golden eyeshadow only produces bright makeup. It all depends on the shade of gold, the pigmentation of the shadows and the overall image.

Who suits golden eyeshadow?

As we have already mentioned, golden eyeshadow suits absolutely all eye shades. Don't believe me?

For brown eyes

Of course, first of all it is worth mentioning brown eyed girls. What are the benefits of golden eye shadow for brown eyes? They will emphasize the warmth of the shade and make the look more radiant.

For green eyes

Green eyes will be made even brighter by golden shadows. Many compare this effect to emeralds set in gold.

For blue-eyed girls

For blue eyes, it is better to choose cooler shades of gold rather than yellow ones. In this case, the shadows will not look foreign and will emphasize the blue of the eyes, making them colder.

For gray eyes

To the owners gray eyes It's worth paying attention to the undertone. If the color turns into a cold blue, then, as in the case of blue eyes, you should choose cool shades.

If the undertone is warm, for example, with a hint of green, then you can use classic gold shadows.

Daytime makeup with added gold

Golden shadows are perfect for creating natural (or nude) makeup. They look more interesting than everyone is used to bronze shades and perfectly refresh the image. Don't know how to do this makeup? It's simple!

Most easy way– apply shadows to the entire moving eyelid and blend well to smooth out the transition.
If desired, you can add an arrow, preferably brown.
Classic daytime makeup scheme - darken the outer corner of the eye, line the lower eyelid a little with the same shadows. Do not overdo it, the lines should be soft and blend smoothly into the skin. To do this, it is better to use matte shadows in nude shades. Then apply golden eyeshadow to the eyelid and inner corner.
To make the image more interesting, draw the lower mucous membrane with a colored pencil.

How to do evening makeup

On the Internet you can find many options for evening eye makeup with golden shadows. We have collected for you simple lessons, thanks to which you will look impressive.

Golden Smokey

Smokey eyes have not gone out of fashion for several years. But we bet you’re already tired of the classic black and gray haze around your eyes? This makeup looks much more interesting with golden shades.

It’s easy to do: work on the outer corner of the eye and the crease with darker shadows, apply golden shadows to the moving eyelid. The lower eyelid also needs to be worked out with dark shadows to create a “haze” around the entire eye.

If desired, add an arrow – to evening makeup Graphic black would be appropriate.

Double arrow

Draw a classic winged line, then use a damp brush to pick up the shadows to intensify the color.

Draw another arrow above the finished arrow. You can darken the crease and lower eyelid, but even without this, the makeup will look complete and interesting.

Focus on the lower eyelid

Evening makeup with golden shadows and an emphasis on the lower eyelid will look unusual. First, work on the crease and outer corner with a dark shade, then apply golden eyeshadow.

On the lower eyelid, add an accent color, such as green. Stretch this color from the outer to the inner corner and be sure to paint the mucous membrane with it. An interesting point: it is usually not recommended to use shadows that match the color of the iris.

However, this does not apply to the lower eyelid - look how good this accent looks for green eyes.

A little tip: if you have wide-set eyes, darken not only the outer corner, but also the inner corner. This will visually help the eyes appear closer.

General rules for makeup using gold color

How to choose lipstick to match golden eyeshadow? In fact, everything is simple here - lipstick should suit not only the shadows, but also your image. For example, lips in natural shades are best suited to smokey eye or nude options.

In the first case, they will not conflict with bright eyes, but in the second, they will support a natural image. In other evening makeup options, you can use bright lipsticks, such as red ones.

The only advice for choosing a shade: give preference to warm or neutral lipsticks. Cool colors will most likely not look harmonious with warm golden shadows.

Add more shine, use highlighting powders or highlighters. Believe me, dull matte skin will look unnatural. While the extra shine will make your look look much fresher.

What colors to wear to complement your eye makeup? Of course, first of all, these are classic combinations with black, white and red colors. But makeup will also harmonize well with warm shades- for example, brown, bronze.

In addition, if you use an accent make-up, you can choose clothes to match its color.

Gold for lips

Gold lipstick or gloss will add attractiveness and sensuality to your lips. The delicate shimmer of gold can be achieved using glitter with microscopic gold particles. If the emphasis of the make-up is on the lips, then bright lipstick with a rich shine will come in handy.

Makeup with gold pigment or glitter

To make the look as bright and festive as possible, use glitter instead of golden shadows. The technique of applying makeup will remain the same, but with some nuances.

Buy a special primer (glitter glue). It provides more intense and long-lasting coverage. NYX, Essence, Lime Crime, etc. have similar products.
After you have used the base, immediately apply glitter. It's best to do this wet cotton swab: this way the particles crumble less and lie in a dense layer.

ADVICE. If you don't have special glue on hand, mix glitter with eyebrow fixing gel. This beauty won’t last long, but you’ll definitely have time to take a cool photo for Instagram.
