Gold and Turquoise Shimmering Eyeshadow Effect


For a gorgeous Arabic inspired shadow effect, try a shimmering gold across your eyelids, fading into a rich turquoise. So Princess Jasmine. Here's how I got a look fit for Aladdin's finest cave...

How-to
1. Sweep a warm gold shade across your eyelids.
2. Add a few dabs of Benefit Sun Beam Illuminator below your brows and blend down into the golden shadow
3. Now apply the turquoise. Start in the far corner and gradually blend into the gold. The turquoise should be darkest at the very corner of your eyelid. A good eyeshadow brush makes this look a gazillion times easier.
4. Complete the blend with a few sweeps of gold into the blue shades. Voila, prettier than a butterfly!

Top tip: Notch up the drama of this trend by extending the turquoise out into a delicious feline point.
