The Resurgence of Metallic Eyeshadow

After years of soft mattes and neutral washes, metallic eyeshadow is making a major comeback. Forget the chunky glitters of the past—today’s metallic shadows are all about smooth, refined shimmer that enhances your eyes without looking over the top. Whether you want a subtle sheen or a bold, light-catching finish, metallics offer the perfect way to elevate any eye look. And when it comes to high-performance metallics, nothing beats the Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Shadow and RoseGlow Caviar Stick Eye Shadow. These creamy, long-wearing formulas deliver 24-hour life-proof wear, making them crease-proof, smudge-proof, and waterproof. Plus, the RoseGlow collection brings a soft, golden rosy glow to the eyes with light-reflecting pearls that enhance all skin tones.

Pro Tips for a Flawless Finish

Start with an eye primer or a touch of concealer to create a smooth base and keep your shadow in place all day. Metallic shadows also work best when you build them up gradually. For an extra foiled effect, try applying them with a damp brush (we recommend spraying an eye color brush with setting spray).

How to Wear It

  1. The Everyday Glow: If you want just a hint of shimmer, swipe on a light-reflecting metallic shade like shimmering pinks or soft metallic mauves. The Caviar Eye Shadow Sticks in Starlight or Amethyst are perfect colors for a quick, everyday look that stays put all day. Blend it out with an eye color brush or your finger for that effortless, “I woke up like this” glow.

2. The Statement Look – Ready to turn up the drama?
