Pairing full gold eyeshadow with a golden highlighter is the perfect way to create a classic glam look. @cakedwcian’s platinum gold lids are a sure winner for any skin tone while shimmer finishes always work in accentuating golden tones.

Gold eye makeup doesn’t have to be all out glam as @carolinejayna proves. Using the soft, subtle hues in the LORAC PRO Palette Artist Edition Meraki, she’s created a delicate look that wouldn’t look out of place during the day.

But when gold eye makeup is used for all out glam, you know it’s going to be intense. The great thing about gold is that it works well with almost every other colour, as @emmafarrellmakeup proves with the bold black lip. If you’re not feeling the royal gold look, take your gold eye makeup to the dark side.

Even the most subtle touches of gold can have a huge impact on a look, as @ryanxhamilton demonstrates. Taking a glam look and adding delicate swipes of gold to the lids has created a contoured look that will emphasise any eye shape.

Thinking outside of the lines (or lids), @saharmova has found a new and unique way of using gold around the eyes. Adding large glitter pigments to the brows and keeping the lids simple with graphic liner not only showcases a daring makeup look but helps to highlight really great brows.
