Gold eyeshadow is an important beauty trend as it is capable of instantly communicating the warmth you evoke, conveying luxury, glowing with the look. Gold is a metal so bold and so flashing, it’s a neutral for your lips-so intense it basically needs to be called a neutral. The ranges for possible pairings are surprisingly broad. The most ideal option depends on whether one intends to accomplish something more classic, or more romantic, or perhaps finishing things off in a more high-fashion way.
Classic True Red
Gold eyes and true red lips are the screams of Old Hollywood Glamour. Since gold is a warm tone, bright primary reds pair well with it. There is an intense contrast and loud statement. It’s just one of those go-to outfits for occasions that demand a lot of glamour and bolder styles.
Warm peachy nude
Going in a public eye with the gold eyes pops up has peachy nude as the best friend. The yellow collective for the gold in the peach kind of has an orange undertone so that they appear monochromatic sun-kissed – something that looks almost natural yet polished. Most appropriate for daytime and summer weddings!
Deep Burgundy or Oxblood
Gold eyelids will look stunning with deep-wine or burgundy lip shades for that dark actually-mood-of-slightly-autumnal-or-vampy-kind-of-chic. Metallic gold pops darkly against that richness produced by deep and dark purple-red tones. It gives a very luxe feel to this chic combo which is perfect for a winter gala or to take a spin.
Soft Dusty Rose
This bright and yet scintillating kind of parallel goes with dusty rose or mauve pink-the more romantic and feminine eyebrows. This particular combination brings down the intensity of the gold making it more approachable and softer. Corporate settings when you want that touch of shimmer but don’t need to look too done up.
Clear or Champagne Gloss
Sometimes the purest option can be the most glam. If you’re working with a gold eyeshadow that has a lot of sparkle or chunkiness in it, avoid pigment on the lips and go for high-shine clear gloss to keep the canvas fresh and youthful. A champagne gloss will also give a tiny sheen to reflect back the eyes beautifully.
Burnt Orange or Terracotta
The heavenly match between gold and terracotta makes for a very well-cheese type of earth-toned warmth. It really suits warm-toned skin and gives a very modern-day desert goddess feel.
Cool-Toned Berry
A very cool berry pink is going to work terribly well with the warmth of gold and possibly give it a very stunning unexpected balance. Those slight clashes between warm gold and cool berries brighten up the eyes. It is a fun way to carry your gold eyeshadow into the day.
Rich Chocolate Brown
Brown lips have never been this trendy, and even more so when decked alongside luscious gold. Deep espresso or chocolate brown creates an appropriate 90s grunge-glam vibe with lightened areas. With that brown-base-induced neutrality, the gold becomes the highlight with illumination on your face.
Coral for a Pop of Color
For spring or summer wearing, take alongside your gold a bright coral. Coral is pretty much both pink and orange under-toned, which both dance on gold. Bright, happy, high-energy, another-very-tropical combination.
