With metallic shades and girlish pastels reigning supreme for yet another season, bringing these coveted tones into your eye makeup look can help you embrace Summer 2016 beauty. If you’re unsure how to rock silvery shadows and hints of soft pink, try taking your makeup inspiration from this easy tutorial.

1) Start by filling in light or sparse brows if needed: If you have naturally light brows, you can achieve a similar sculpted look by using brow powder and a brush. Next, use a nude or natural-toned eyeshadow and a makeup brush to define the area under your eyebrows.

2) Begin creating a flawless eyeshadow look: Lightly apply a rosy pink powder eyeshadow to your upper eyelids, in order to get a sweet and soft effect. Layer a darker poppy-hued eyeshadow shade over this first colour, for a deeper and more enriched look. Extend this poppy eyeshadow at the outer corners of each eyelid, and then apply a glittery silver shadow over top.

3) Add winged eyeliner to emphasize your eyes: Next, use black gel eyeliner and a thin makeup brush in order to craft the perfect winged eye. Create a thick cat eye on each eyelid, and use a double coat of black gel eyeliner to achieve the effect.

4) Finish off your eyes with a coat of mascara: To truly enhance your eye makeup look, use black volumizing mascara to bring your lashes to life. If you prefer, you can also apply false lashes at this point for a more dramatic alternative.

5) Prime your skin and apply foundation: Use a primer to prepare your skin for a smooth makeup application, and hide any unwanted blemishes or spots with a liquid concealer. Next, apply liquid foundation using a beauty sponge and create an enviable, flawless visage.

6) Contour your features and add bronzer: To emphasize the look of your sun-kissed, glowing skin, use a contouring kit and bronzer. Blend in the makeup with a kabuki brush for a perfect, doll-like effect.

7) Emphasize your lower eyelids with eye makeup: Next, bring the focus back up to your lower eyelids. Use the light pink and poppy red eyeshadow shades to trace under your lower lash line, and then enhance your lower lashes with black mascara. Trace your lower lids with striking white eyeliner to make your eyes pop.

8) Accentuate your features with highlighter and add a light pink lip gloss: For a finishing touch, use highlighter to sculpt your cheekbones and add definition to your visage. As a last step, polish off your new beauty look with a hint of pale pink lip gloss.
