Gold eyeliner may not be one of the few typical shades you immediately think of when it comes to rimming your eyes and completing your makeup look, but this season it’s time to go for the gold by embracing the metallic hue and ditching the tired browns, plums, and black! While silver and pewter liners may give you the wintry ice princess look, gold is a dramatic metallic that actually works to warm up your features with a look that’s not nearly as dated as it sounds, when done right!

You can let your liner be the focus of your entire look by wearing it alone, or over a subtle neutral shadow, as long as the liner is bold and concentrated enough to stand out against your skin! Try L’Oreal’s HiP Color Chrome pencil in Gold Charge or Shu Uemura’s Painting Liner in Gold for a highly-pigmented formula that really pops. To add a golden accent to your everyday look, try Benefit’s Gilded pencil on brow bones and inner and outer corners of eyes — the shade is slightly more muted for more subtle, light-reflective shimmer in just the right places. However, if you’re not afraid to dazzle, top off a gold pencil with glitter liquid liner, like Sephora Collection Glitter Eyeliner in Gold, to get the most impact from your gilded look!
