How To Apply Gold Eye Makeup Perfectly?
Step 1: Prime Your Eyelids
Prime your eyelids so that they are smooth. This step is extremely vital, as it helps the makeup to last for a long time and prevents it from creasing.
Step 2: Apply Base Shade
Apply the base shade all over the lid, and a little above the eyelids as well. This works as a transition shade so that there are no harsh lines between the gold and the skin.
Note: This should match your skin tone or be slightly lighter. Make sure the primer has not creased and use this shadow to set it in place.
Step 3: Pack On The Eyeshadow
This is where the main star of the show comes in – gold eyeshadow! Pack on the eyeshadow on the inside and center of the eyelid and blend it out near the crease.
StyleCraze Says You should choose a gold shade that is suitable to your skin tone. For a dark skin tone, you can go for warm gold. Those with fair skin can try champagne gold, while people with medium skin tones can experiment with yellow gold.
Tip: A great way to apply a shimmer shadow to make it pop is with your fingers or a wet flat brush.
Step 4: Add Dark Brown Shade
Add a dark brown shade to the outer corner and blend it away into the crease. This will add depth to the bottom.
Pack more of the gold eyeshadow on the center of the eyelid if you feel that there isn’t enough color. Apply some of the gold eyeshadow on the bottom lashline as well.

Step 5: Conceal the Heavy Fallout Areas
At this point, you probably have a lot of fallout from the eyeshadow. Fear not, this problem can easily be rectified with the help of a little bit of concealer. Conceal the areas where you think there is heavy fallout and blend it out. Better alternatives to this would be:
- Doing your eyeshadow before your face makeup and then wiping it away with a makeup remover.
- Baking with loose powder to catch the fallout and then sweeping it away when you are done.
- Make sure there is no excess product on your eyeshadow brushes to avoid fallout altogether. Good eyeshadows, when used correctly, should not produce too much fallout.

Step 6: Create Winged Eyeliner
Use a black liquid or gel liner to create a winged line. You can extend the wing or keep it simple. It depends on whether you are going for a more dramatic look or a sober one.

Step 7: Create An Intense Look With Kajal
Apply kohl or kajal on your upper and lower water lines to create an intense look. Smudge out the bottom lashline a little bit to soften the look.
Step 8: Add Mascara To Eyelashes
Finish off the look by adding mascara and curling lashes to your eyelashes.

Step 10: Brighten Your Eyes With Shimmer (Optional)
This is optional, but I always like adding a little shimmer to the inner corner of my eyes in order to brighten them up.
StyleCraze Says You can also apply bronzer to your cheekbones to give a golden hue and match your golden eye makeup.
Gold never goes wrong. The color always screams premium and royalty. So, why should your eyes not get the same attention? Getting the perfect gold eye makeup could be a task, but it is worth it. Why? Because it gives the perfect glow and transforms your eyes into something quite glamorous, which is not always possible with other colors. To intensify the glow even more, be generous with the kajal and mascara, and you will achieve the pop and glow which is synonymous with gold.
