Apply Metallic Eyeshadow with Precision

To achieve a flawless metallic look, use a flat synthetic brush or your fingertip to press the shadow onto your lid, maximizing shimmer payoff. Start with a small amount, building intensity in layers for your desired effect—from a subtle sheen to an electrifying foil finish.
Blend the edges with a soft, clean brush to avoid harsh lines and create a seamless gradient. For even more impact, dampen your brush before application to amplify the metallic effect. Explore step-by-step techniques at Glamour and Refinery29.
