Gold accents were all the rage at New York Fashion Week, and while some may shy away from the look, it can be just as subtle as it is glamorous. In fact, whether you’re looking to add some unexpected glimmer in the daytime or a dramatic flash at night, these subtle metallic shades have a way of making eyes appear brighter and skin more radiant. Follow these tips to make the trend work for you.

According to Allure Magazine, makeup artist Pat McGrath went for a soft, angelic take at the Dolce & Gabbana show by using gold accents to draw light to the models’ faces. To get this effect, try brushing a white shadow with yellow gold iridescence onto the eyelids and opting for a rosy blush and peachy pink gloss. Nude eyeliner and well-groomed brows completed the look for a pure, fresh-faced complexion.

Meanwhile, McGrath took a minimalist route at Dior. Follow her lead by applying a layer of concealer underneath a sparkly pigment. Dabbing the gold shadow onto the inner corners can really draw attention to the eyes. For extra glow, lightly brush a small amount of the shimmer onto the top of cheekbones.

You could also copy Kim Kardashian’s look by drawing on gold eyeliner. Jada Beauty reported that those with darker skintones should line eyes with a bolder brass, while paler-skinned beauties should go for lighter hues.

If you’re looking to rock a bolder gold like the models at Mara Hoffman, wet the eyeshadow brush before layering rich metallic shadow on to your lids. Dab a sheer shimmer to highlight the browbone and finish by smudging pencil across the upper and lower lash line for a smoky eye.
