This metallic hue warms up all skin tones, and can be worn a variety of ways. Blunt and Mara kept their looks subtle, pairing antique gold shadow with a natural lip. Heard channeled her inner pin-up girl, with pale platinum eye makeup, strong brows, and a crimson pout, while Rihanna went for a 24-karat bronze goddess effect. The gilded age of shadows isn't limited to just one hue. Get flirty with a warm rose gold, or line your eyes with a sultry weathered shade. Be sure to use an eye primer to give your solid gold look extra staying power. A shade this rich should last all day long! Click through our gallery to get more celebrity eye makeup tips!
