The smokey eye might make your eyes look sultry, but sometimes you just want to look bright and wide-eyed. Silver eyeshadow will make your eyes look big—in the best way possible—and make you look wide-awake, even if you aren’t. Silver eyeshadow makes your eyes the main attraction. Like with diamonds, your eyes seek out and immediately land on whatever the sparkliest object in the room is, just like a magpie. If you wear glittery silver eye make-up, all eyes will focus on the windows to your soul.
Silver eyeshadow is great to pull out when you’ve got a special occasion, an epic night out planned or just any time you want all eyes on your eyes. You can also pull off more subtle silver looks by applying it sparingly near the corner of your eye or underneath your bottom lashes, which makes for an unexpected and otherworldly look.

3. Stila Magnificent Metals Glitter And Glow Liquid Eye Shadow
This eyeshadow from Stila might look like a lipgloss, but it doesn’t go on sticky. The eyeshadow is water-infused and goes on without a fuss. After applying with the wand, you close your eyes for 5-6 seconds to let it set and dry, then you’ll look like a mini-disco ball. This lightweight eyeshadow claims to have little fallout, so you should keep the majority of the glitter on your eyelids, rather than the rest of your face.
