How To Apply Gold Eye Makeup Perfectly?
Step 1: Prime Your Eyelids
Prime your eyelids so that they are smooth. This step is extremely vital, as it helps the makeup to last for a long time and prevents it from creasing.
Step 2: Apply Base Shade
Apply the base shade all over the lid, and a little above the eyelids as well. This works as a transition shade so that there are no harsh lines between the gold and the skin. Note: This should match your skin tone or be slightly lighter. Make sure the primer has not creased and use this shadow to set it in place.
Step 3: Pack On The Eyeshadow
This is where the main star of the show comes in – gold eyeshadow! Pack on the eyeshadow on the inside and center of the eyelid and blend it out near the crease. Tip: A great way to apply a shimmer shadow to make it pop is with your fingers or a wet flat brush.
Step 4: Add Dark Brown Shade
Add a dark brown shade to the outer corner and blend it away into the crease. This will add depth to the bottom. Pack more of the gold eyeshadow on the center of the eyelid if you feel that there isn’t enough color. Apply some of the gold eyeshadow on the bottom lashline as well.
Step 5: Conceal the Heavy Fallout Areas
At this point, you probably have a lot of fallout from the eyeshadow. Fear not, this problem can easily be rectified with the help of a little bit of concealer. Conceal the areas where you think there is heavy fallout and blend it out. Better alternatives to this would be: Here’s what it should look like:
Step 6: Create Winged Eyeliner
Use a black liquid or gel liner to create a winged line. You can extend the wing or keep it simple. It depends on whether you are going for a more dramatic look or a sober one.
Step 7: Create An Intense Look With Kajal
Apply kohl or kajal on your upper and lower water lines to create an intense look. Smudge out the bottom lashline a little bit to soften the look.
Step 8: Add Mascara To Eyelashes
Finish off the look by adding mascara and curling lashes to your eyelashes. This is what it should look like after the application:

As long as you know your skin tone, you can find a shade of gold that can best suit your eyes. While fair skinned girls can opt for rose gold or mustard gold, medium skin tone would love antique gold or white gold on their eyes. As for darker skin beauties, pure gold or dull gold eyeshadows would work the best. What lip color looks good with gold-eye makeup? Bold red lips, warm nudes, or bright orange lips can pair well with gold-eye makeup. Does gold-eye makeup go with blue eyes? Yes, warmer tones like yellow, gold, and pale orange are a dynamic combination that can enhance your blue eyes.
