While gold eyeshadow is said to look good on all skin tones, placement is key. Gold eyeshadow tends to work best on the lid or lash line only, Allure advised. This boosts the color's eye enhancement potential without creating an overbearing, glittery mess.
If you're new to gold eyeshadow, consider starting off small. You can place gold in the inner or outer corners of your eyes when paired with neutral shades to create depth. Or you can carefully smudge gold eyeshadow into your upper lash line for a highlighting effect.
On the other hand, if you'd like to create a bolder, more dramatic look, consider placing gold eyeshadow on the entire eyelid. Gold can also be paired with a smoky eye, which can help highlight darker shadows to provide more depth to your look. And, if you have an upturned eye shape, you can experiment with lining the bottom lash line with gold eyeshadow.
