Sunset Eyeshadow 

Featuring a gorgeous blend of coral, gold, purple, and red eyeshadows this autumn-inspired eye makeup creates an all-around stunning look. follow our tutorial, How to Create a Sunset Eye to get the look.

All White Eyeshadow

White eyeshadow may sound like a shock but when done right it’s the perfect illuminating makeup look. Grab your go-to white eyeshadow and apply the color on your lids, then extend it upward and outward to cover your entire eye area. Use a dark shadow to create a soft smokey eye on the outer edges of your lids then apply black eyeliner along your upper lash line.

Glossy Greens 

An ultra-wet, super glossy eye makeup look gives your eyes the shining finish they deserve. Reach for a powder eyeshadow in a gorgeous green shade and dust the eyeshadow all over your lids. Then, using a lip gloss that’s eye-safe, apply a small amount over the Eyeshadow to bring your wet eyeshadow look to life.

Tie-Dye Eyeshadow 

Ideal for those who don’t shy away from bold trends, this look gives the rainbow eyeshadow look a creative spin. Stick with a psychedelic spiral of multiple bright shades or just two for a color block twist.
