Be prepared to ditch your dull browns and taupes, because jewel-toned eyes are trending for autumn and will work with all eye colours. Even the most basic makeup user can master the look, and when you settle on a shade you love, you will only need a single addition to your beauty bag. What's great about these jewel-toned eyes is that they can be levelled up for a super glam party look at Christmas. This might be autumn's best makeup trend to date. Jewel-Toned Eyes This jewel-toned eyes trend fits perfectly with all the chocolate, burgundy, and forest fashion that is dominating our autumn wardrobes. The hottest shades for the trend are aubergine, emerald/green, and amethyst, all of which make blue, green, hazel, and brown eyes sparkle. Precision has gone out the window for this trend; the look is best diffused or smudged, and for that, all you need is an eyeshadow stick and your ring finger to pat it into place. Essentially, you're going for a soft, blurred look, so this couldn't be easier. Christmas Looks View this post on Instagram If you have an eyeshadow stick in one of these shades, you will know how fast these can be applied. Powder shadow can also create these jewel-toned eyes, but the bonus of using a stick is longevity; it stays in place longer. Another benefit of using a stick is that it provides a base for another shade to lock it down, and that will be great for party looks at Christmas if you add a sparkly topper for a festive touch. These are painted on a bare lid or on top of another shade (your eyeshadow stick) for deeper, more durable colour. See our top buys for jewel-toned eyes below, and the sparkly toppers we recommend for when Christmas rolls around. Eyeshadow Sticks Bobbi Brown was one of the first brands to create easy-peasy longwear eyeshadow sticks. There are lots of shades available that work with the jewel-toned eyes trend, but Mulberry above is a real winner, €33.95 each. Green shades suit all eye colours, even green ones, and they are a little more daring than aubergine or berry. MAC's Dazzleshadow sticks are your colour and sparkle in one, swipe on and pat into place. Filthy Martini (above) will work beautifully for autumn and Christmas, €26. Fans of taupe and brown might find Laura Mercier's Amethyst longwear shadow stick an easier way to step into the jewel-toned eyes trend. There are plenty of other shade options, but this is very flattering on all eye colours, €32.45. Christmas Sparkle Kulfi's Zari eyeshadow stick in the shade Auburn Aura is a warm and eye-popping colour. You can smooth this on with your ring finger to amplify a mulberry or aubergine shadow stick, or wear it by itself for a lighter look like above, €35. VB has plenty of shades that match the sparkle and colour of jewel-toned eyes, but this smoky Velvet Lid Lustre shimmer colour is a winner. Wear a sheer layer or build the intensity for eyes that sparkle this Christmas, €42. French MUA Violette has this trend sewn up with her Yeux Paint longwear shadows. Various shades are available in green, navy, and coffee, but Paris La Nuit is a bestseller that sells out again and again. Stunning! *This post may contain affiliate links
