"Look Now: Metallic Eyes\\nWe hope you&amp;#39;re into heavy metal because the spring 2013 runways were ablaze with shades of silver, gold, platinum, and bronze. But this isn&amp;#39;t a hint of glimmer or a demure shine. It&amp;#39;s loud, unabashed glitz that will have you rocking and rolling all night long. Here, our favorite ways to wear the trend.\\nWhy did makeup artist Peter Philips choose the platinum shade for [Chanel's spring show](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/runway-beauty/spring-2013/chanel)? \\\"I walked into Karl's renovated studio and the parquet floors had a metallic covering this color,\\\" Philips explained. \\\"He loved it, so I suggested using it on the eyes.\\\" Philips created the custom cream shadow the night before the show and spread it over the lids and up to the brow bones. \\\"We had to be heavy-handed because the runway is so big,\\\" Philips said. At home, keep this color concentrated on your lids only, and line your eyes with black pencil. \\\"Otherwise it will look like you're wearing theatrical makeup,\\\" Philips said.\\nFor the sultry smoky eye at Versace, Pat McGrath ditched classic black and gray shadows for warmer hues of bronze and brown. \\\"There's a casualness to the collection that calls for less intense shades,\\\" she said. Follow McGrath's steps to get the look: Start by lining your whole eye with black pencil. Brush a shimmery bronze shadow on your lids (try [CoverGirl Queen Collection 1-Kit Eye Enhancers in Sun City](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/eye-shadow/2013/covergirl-queen-1-kit-eye-enhancers-sun-city)). Blend chocolate brown shadow (like [Nars Eye Shadow in Coconut Grove](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/eye-shadow/2013/nars-single-eyeshadow-coconut-grove)) in the creases and create a V shape so it extends past the outer corners and comes back under your lower lash lines. Finish with tons of mascara, tawny blush, and lip balm.\\nWant a going-out look that will have you out the door in a matter of minutes? Look no further than the metallic winged shadow at Chlo\u00E9 this season. Makeup artist Diane Kendal went with a shimmery copper shade that looked seriously amazing on every model. She started by applying a base of cream shadow up to the brow bone, pulling the color out past the outer corners. With a cotton swab, she went around the perimeters to create the sharp triangular wing shape. Then she pressed a metallic copper pigment on top of that. While she skipped mascara, this is not something you want to omit for everyday. So go ahead, layer as much of it on as you want.\\nTo create the illusion that the models had just emerged from the water at Issey Miyake, makeup artist Lucia Pieroni covered their faces in lip gloss and their lids with a liquid-y silver pigment. Skip the sticky face, but we think the silver shadow would look awesome with a black cocktail dress. Try it with [NYX Cosmetics Slide-On Eyeliner in Platinum,](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/eyeliner/2013/nyx-slide-on-eyeliner-platinum) a creamy formula with the same molten effect as the professional pigment Pieroni employed. Draw a thick line along your top lashes and run a brush over it to blend the color up your lids. Or smudge on a silver cream shadow, like the one in the [Revlon Illuminance Cr\u00E8me Shadow in Black Magic](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/eye-shadow/2013/revlon-illuminance-creme-shadow-black-magic) quad.\\nThe beautiful gold ombr\u00E9 eye shadow at Vera Wang was meant to evoke the summer sun in India, the country that inspired the designer's spring collection. Pieroni applied the rusty gold powder (a mix of brown, bronze, and gold) to the eyes with a sponge-tip applicator. \\\"Otherwise this type of sparkly shadow goes everywhere,\\\" she explained. She swiped the blend of powders on the lids up to the brow bone, piling on more bronze close to the lash line for added intensity. Try a multishadow palette, like [Cl\u00E9 de Peau Eye Color Quad in 204](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/eye-shadow/2013/cle-de-peau-eye-color-quad-204) or [Maybelline New York EyeStudio Color Explosion Luminizing Eyeshadow in Caffeine Rush.](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/eye-shadow/2013/maybelline-eyestudio-color-explosion-shadow-caffeine-rush)\\nPairing gold and silver shadows sounds frightening, but at Gianfranco Ferr\u00E9, makeup artist Benjamin Puckey made the surprising combination look beautiful. He used three different metallic shades and lots of black liner. He started by lining the top lashes with black gel and bringing it under the lower lashes slightly. On the inner half of the lids (not the inner corners), he brushed on a light bronze shadow. On the outer half of the eye he dusted a darker bronze shadow, which he also smudged under the entire lower lash lines. Then he dabbed silver pigment in the inner corners. Lashes were curled and coated in black mascara, and while he toned down the lips with concealer (which is more *Star Trek* than chic), we suggest topping them with sheer nude gloss.\\nWe're obsessed with the glossy, coppery orange eye shadow McGrath applied at Louis Vuitton\u2014especially the way she applied it. Pairing it with heavy black liner under the eyes and lots and lots of mascara, she offered a fresh take on a graphic '60s eye, which perfectly complemented Marc Jacobs's mod-inspired checkered dresses and separates. It's easy to do, too. Pick a creamy black pencil (like [Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil in 0L](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2010/make-up-for-ever-aqua-eyes-matte-black)), and drag it across your lower lashes, getting thicker as you near the outer corners. Clean up any edges with a cotton swab. Cover lids in rusted copper shadow ([Too Faced Exotic Color Intense Shadow in Copper Peony](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/eye-shadow/2013/too-faced-exotic-color-intense-shadow-copper-peony) is a close match), and smear a thin layer of lip balm on top of that."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
