The latest sensation taking over runways, TikTok, and summer makeup routines is "chrome eyes." This trend is characterized by its metallic, high-shine finish that mimics the reflective quality of chrome. Whether you're aiming for a subtle sheen or a bold, futuristic look, chrome eyes are the ultimate way to make a statement.

Get the Look!

1. Prime Your Eyelids: Start with a good eyeshadow primer to ensure the chrome pigments adhere well and last longer. This step also prevents creasing.

2. Apply a Base Color: Choose a neutral or complementary base color to enhance the chrome effect. A matte shade can help the chrome pigment stand out more.

3. Use Chrome Pigments or Shadows: The key to this look is the metallic product. You can use cream eyeshadows, liquid shadows, or pressed pigments. Apply it with a flat brush or your finger for maximum impact.

4. Blend Carefully: While blending is crucial for most eye makeup looks, for chrome eyes, you want to blend the edges while keeping the center intense and reflective.

5. Add Dimension: For added depth, use a slightly darker shade in the crease or outer corner of the eye. This can help create a more dynamic look without taking away from the chrome effect.

6. Highlight the Inner Corners: A touch of lighter chrome or a highlighter in the inner corners of your eyes can make them pop even more.

7. Finish with Mascara or Lashes: Complete the look with volumizing mascara or false lashes to draw more attention to your dazzling eyelids.
