Great Beauty: Metallic Makeup

Forget spiced apple cider, pumpkin picking and multi-colored trees -- we love autumn because it's the season of dazzling metallic makeup! Twinkly golds, coppery auburns and smokey silvers are not only the makeup shades of the season, they look fabulous on brown skin. Whether you rock a shimmery shade on your eyes, cheeks or lips, be prepared to turn heads! From Queen Latifah to Paula Patton, here are our favorite superstar metallic makeup moments.
