A beauty trend that’s sure to make your heart flutter is flat-out fabulous metallic touches. Some trends are so crazy and unexpected that they hit Instagram like a beauty tidal wave (rainbow lipstick anyone?).

Opt for a deeply pigmented metallic eyeshadow in a bold hue, such as emerald or cobalt blue and work it all over the eyes – on the lids, in the crease and curving out to the temples.

Focus you mascara wand on the root of the lash, this allows the tips of lashes to remain wispy and flatteringly fluttery.
