Power up the playful. When it comes to makeup<\/a>, the longer, warmer days of Spring usher in a desire to drop the drab<\/a> and try a bold new look. One rich in sugar-spun shades like robin\u2019s egg blue and baby pink feels fresh and joyous. But formulas laced with high shimmer go a step further to make a major statement \u2014 with benefits! More than just a pretty palette, metallic makeup reflects light, brightening the entire face.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no wonder why metallics were some of the first makeup worn. In ancient Egypt, crushed malachite was used for eyeshadow and Renaissance noblewomen adorned lips and cheeks with substances created from crushed beetle wings and fish scales. The 20th century saw its fair share of shimmer, too. But unlike the opaque bases of the \u201860s and glitter-heavy finishes of the disco era, today\u2019s vibe is softer, imparting a rare radiance.<\/p>\n

The frosts of the moment \u201cadd a glistening dimension in contrast to the texture of skin,\u201d says makeup artist Gina Kane<\/a>, who created the looks here using shades from Dior Beauty<\/a>‘s Glowmania collection<\/a>. The glow is real! A few sweeps of shadow, highlighter or blush and you\u2019re in business.<\/p>\n

Since silvery particles can be difficult to blend evenly, the makeup pro recommends a prep step. \u201cStart with a dusting of powder to create a smooth, dry base\u201d as a canvas for color. Then just go for it. Unlike matte makeup which requires precision, there\u2019s no need to define lines to stay within with metallic hues.<\/a> Just have fun! Says Kane: \u201cIt can be the most flattering and enjoyable trend to wear.\u201d<\/p>\n
