Do you want a makeup look that will rival the stars? Gold glitter eye shadow paired with bright red lips is enough to outshine an Oscar trophy. While this look would win awards at a red carpet gala, it’s just as flawless for a night of dinner, drinks, and dancing with friends.
The real stars of the show are the eyes accented in gold glitter. To achieve the look, use both sides of Revlon PhotoReady Eye Art in “Topaz Twinkle” or pair a shimmery gold shadow with a touch of gold body glitter. The secret to making the gold look cute and not chintzy is to gently blend it into a matte base shadow. Don’t worry if you think this discounts the drama—the red lips are quite bold as well.

Instructions

1. Use an angled brow brush to fill in your brows with brow pomade. Shape your brows with a spoolie.
2. With a foundation brush, cover your face with foundation. Use a combination of sweeping and stippling motions to prevent the look of brush strokes.
3. Apply concealer beneath your eyes, on your chin, above your cupid’s bow, along the bridge of your nose and between your eyebrows. Blend in with the tapered end of a blending sponge.
4. With the blending sponge, dab setting powder onto the places where you applied concealer. This will help the foundation stay in place all day and prevent it from looking too shiny.
5. Add a bit of warmth and color to your look. Sweep bronzer along your cheekbones and the top of your forehead. Swirl blush onto the apples of your cheeks.
6. Use a large eye shadow brush to apply eye primer to your eyelid and up to your brow bone. This will help hold onto your eye shadow.
7. With a fluffy eye shadow brush, apply “Birch” or a matte red-brown shadow to the crease and outer V of your lid.
8. Use the included applicator to apply the shimmery side of Revlon PhotoReady Eye Art in “Topaz Twinkle” to the middle of your lid. You could also use the gold cream shadow of your choice. With a small eye shadow brush, blend the shadow more evenly into your lid.
9. Go back and apply the glittery side of “Topaz Twinkle” over the middle of your lid. You could also use a gold body glitter of your choice. Blend it in with a small shadow brush.
10. To make perfect winged eyeliner, start by placing your angled eyeliner brush next to the outer corner of your eye and at a slight diagonal. Flick the brush gently to apply the eyeliner. Next, draw a line from the end of your eyeliner to almost the middle of your upper lash line. Fill in the triangle.
11. Apply mascara to your upper lashes. Apply faux eyelashes and allow the lash glue to set.
12. Apply “Siren in Scarlet” or a bright red lipstick. Your gold look is now complete!
