3 WAYS TO WEAR SILVER EYESHADOW

When it comes to the holidays and New Year's Eve and you quite literally want to shine, look no further. We've got three silver eyeshadow looks that are totally lit. Using shimmery silver shadow and a silver eyeliner, Maybelline is here to break down the steps for these very different, trending looks. Each is a total mood and perfect for the best days (and nights) of the year. 3, 2, 1... Let's go!

SILVER EYESHADOW LOOK #1: SILVER SMOKEY EYE

1. Begin by using Expert Wear Eye Shadow Quad in Charcoal Smokes. Take a fluffy eyeshadow brush and apply shades two and three to the inner and outer corners of your eyelids, leaving the middle section of your lid blank.

2. Then, using shade four in the same quad, deepen the inner and outer corners.

3. Repeat this step for your lower lash line, keeping the middle section blank.

4. Next, apply Color Tattoo Cream Eyeshadow in Chill Girl to the blank space on your upper and lower lash line

SILVER EYESHADOW LOOK #2: SILVER GRAPHIC EYE

1. Start with Tattoo Studio Gel Pencil Eyeliner in Sparkling Silver. Follow the line of your crease and draw a curved line from the front of your crease to the end. Here's a tip: look straight ahead and slightly tilt your head back while applying to get the perfect line.

2. After your crease is lined, draw a line from the edge of your lashes up to the crease line and connect them.

3. Once the shape is complete, add an extra layer of silver eyeliner on top for extra sparkle.
