Mesmerizing Silver Allure

Balance the warmth of an orange-toned red by complementing it with a cool-toned silver. Embrace a chic appearance with a shimmery silver shade, perfectly enhancing a light, sheer base. When using a single-tone eye color, the application technique can greatly alter the outcome. Experiment by using it as a liner for a subtle touch or apply it all over the lid and pair with kohl for a striking burst of intensity.
