Made Up Metallic: Savannah Belsher-MacLean, ProMUA x Lot 65

I've been wanting to collaborate with local make-up artist Savannah Belsher-MacLean (who is also the talented designer behind Swoon Creations!) for a while now, and so when this week's Stylelist assignment was to attempt the metallic trend, so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to work with Savannah on a metallic beauty look.

She was super excited about the idea and we were extremely lucky to have Nancy take some photos for us in the studio. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. We started out with a simpler daytime look and moved towards a more dramatic eye, and the whole time I tried to pick Savannah's brain about each step, so I thought I'd ask this talented lady to share some of her tips recreating a similar version of this metallic eye for day or evening:

"During the daytime, go for golden or champagne metallic shadows on your eyelids, and nix the eye liner. This is a super wearable look, yet it still gives you some serious ‘bling factor’. We chose a combination of MAC Sumptuous Olive and a golden pigment powder by FACES.

For a simple transition into an evening look, add some coppers or deep bronzes in the creases of your lids and along your upper and lower lash lines, and add a black pencil or powder eye liner. We used MAC Sable.

Added tip: Want to go a little smokier? Try adding MAC Knight Divine in the creases of your lid and along the upper lash line."
