‘Tis the season for parties and celebrations, and Beyonce reminded us that metallic makeup adds glam to your festive look. The “Alien Superstar” singer stepped on the chrome red carpet with matching platinum eyeshadow at the film premiere for “Renaissance: A Film by Beyonce” in Los Angeles.
Beyonce
The dress code for the event was “cozy opulence” and she nailed it with smokey shadow to accent her frosty white eyes with matte nude lip to compliment her icy locks and metallic Versace gown. Queen Bey confirmed that platinum still rules the beauty scene.

Victoria Monet
Singer Victoria Monet was captured with similar eye glam with more smokey shadow on the brow bone to match her leather platinum jacket and short set.
Gabrielle Union
If you want to stand out in a more subtle way, try all-over shimmer a’ la actress Gabrielle Union. “The Perfect Find” star posted herself on Instagram channeling princess-y vibes in a white strapless ballerina gown with Kendra Scott earrings. But what stood out most? Her bronze eyeshadow, warm hue on her cheeks, rose matte lips and shimmer all over her exposed skin. Union enhanced her cheeks, decolletage, and chest for extra sparkle. “Sparkle and shine, darling. Sparkle and shine ✨️✨️” she captioned the post. The added touch is worth replicating- it’s minimal but oh-so-effective.
Yara Shahidi
Actress Yara Shahidi updated her latte makeup- bronzed cheeks with nude lips, with bronze eyeshadow to compliment her yellow strapless gown.
Thom Browne
Now that temperature has dropped, beauty content creators are updating last summer’s food-inspired makeup trends with new approaches to metallic to mesmerize their followers. On the runways, fashion designers including Thom Browne, who misplaced metals on models’ eyebrows, nose and upper lip. Gold stars drawn on the cheek and eyebrow, while bedazzled gold streams of tears were placed on other models.
Nikki Makeup
If you’re the daring type, push boundaries by mixing up metallics. On TikTok and Instagram many stick to one shadow but there are others who take it up a notch and spice things up by applying a variety of eyeshadow, pencils, blushes, and lipsticks in various shades all on one face beat. Celebrity makeup artist Nikki Makeup did the damn thing when she rimmed model Ajayi’s eyes with metallic sky-blue eye pencil to accent the purple shadow on her lids as the base. Nikki swept matching light blue loose powder across her brow bone, and for an unexpected twist lined the top of the model’s upper lip with the same eye pencil to highlight a berry upper lip with a hint of shimmer. Genius!
Rowi Singh
Go galactic with a multi-chrome eyeliner in several bold bright shades or try bold bright hues all over your eye from lid to eyebrow like Rowi Singh.
Uche Natori
This emerald green by Charlotte Tilbury on Uche Natori is quite a gem.
