Wing-ed Out Bling
We’ve never met a cat eye we didn’t like. So it shouldn’t come as a shock that we’re seriously in love with this gold-encrusted wing from Faux Doll Glam. Gluing a gold accent along your eyeliner is a simple way to up the ante on your eye makeup look. While we’re in love with this smoky pink eye, you can also try this gold accent against a more neutral shade.
Golden Hour Glam
Staring at this sunset eye makeup by Shelby Sue? Yeah, same here. Not only is this pink, orange, yellow and blue eyeshadow perfectly blended, but the cut crease is perfection, too. To take things up a notch, she cut out small gold flakes and glued them onto the inner and outer corners of the eyes. We’re officially obsessed and recreating ASAP.
Foiled & Fabulous
This gold leaf look by Claire Malley is major. We repeat, major. She used gold flakes all over her eyelid (and neck and chest) to create a reflective beat that looks like a million bucks. We love that this take on the gold flake trend is completely customizable. You decide on the shape and placement — just go gold.
Cry Pretty
Can’t decide between glitter tears and gold flakes? Rock both Instagram trends at once, just like Siân. All you have to do is place a gold leaf embellishments down the center of your lid and past your lower lash line. Let the gold shine through by balancing out the bling with a more subtle eyeshadow look.
