Highlighter: Most of us do not know exactly how to use a highlighter. A highlighter is something that highlights your makeup in the right place. For example, if you are not blessed with naturally high cheekbones, then you can add a stroke of highlighter to your cheeks to highlight your rouge. Now if the highlighter is metallic in colour, then it will catch the light and so will your pretty cheeks.

Eyeliner: You can try numerous different eye makeup ideas with a metallic eyeliner. The silver grey for starters, is one of the most 'in' shades these days. The glittery black is not metallic but can be counted in, depending on how glittering it is. The pick of the lot is the metallic white eyeliner. Draw a line of white over your normal black eye liner and see the spunk it adds to your look.

Eye Shadow: Apart from the eyeliner, eye shadow colours too can give you a metallic look. You can use gold, silver, bronze and other metallic hues in your eye makeup ideas.
