Silver is the hottest color trend of the moment, making metallic silver makeup a must-have this season. And it’s not just for nighttime. This eye-catching color can achieve various effects, from a subtle shimmer to over-the-top, futuristic glam. All you need is the right products and a little know-how!
Easy Silver Eye Makeup
When it comes to silver eye makeup, pressed shadows are easy to apply, no matter your makeup proficiency level. La Femme Eyeshadow in Silver is an excellent choice for a soft satin effect that looks beautiful any time of day. With just a wash over the lid using a fluffy brush and a generous coat of mascara, your eyes will pop with minimal effort. For evening glamour, Cozzette Beauty Infinite Eyeshadow in Herkimer has a deep charcoal base with a silver crystal finish, making it perfect for a sparkling smoky eye.

Another fantastic option for quick and easy metallic eye makeup is Ben Nye Silver Shimmer Crayon. It glides on smoothly and can blend or smudge like a cream shadow. Just work fast because it sets to a waterproof finish that does not budge. Pro-tip: buff it gently with your finger after it sets to intensify its brilliance and shimmer.

Metallic Silver for Face and Body
Are you looking for a metallic highlighter for a fantasy makeup look? Ben Nye Lumiere Grand Colour to the rescue with a luminescent silver pigment in a pressed powder format you can apply with your favorite blush or powder brush. For a realistic metal luster, Mehron Metallic Powder truly delivers. Use it with Mixing Liquid to create a long-wearing, paintable silver. Instead of accessorizing with jewelry, try decorating the body with graphic shapes or bold strokes on ears, neck, arms, or shoulders. It’s also fabulous for creating silver Tin Man inspired character makeup for stage or Halloween!
