5 Silver Eyeshadow Makeup Tutorials to Copy ASAP

Silver eyeshadow can be tricky — it’s likely one of the first shades you picked up when you learned how to do makeup, and promptly put back down when you discovered the wonderful world of neutral toned mattes and rose gold hues. But even though warm-toned shadows are having a moment right now, silver is slowly returning to its former glory as the edgy metallic that looks good on a wide range of people. It can be paired with warm-toned shadows for everyday, or worn on its own for a high-impact look. With that in mind, we’ve rounded up our favorite silver eyeshadow tutorials, ahead:
