On Monday, R&B goddess and reality star Monica breezed by ESSENCE’s office to chat about her hot new album, “Still Standing.” She was absolutely charming, a true sweetheart….and ladies, her eyeshadow was fierce! “Miss Thang” was rocking expertly-blended gold, bronze and copper shadows that looked flawless with her nutmeg-brown skin. And she’s so on-trend! Not only were sun-kissed metallics super-hot on the spring runways, they’re a fabulous way to add warmth to still-pale-from-winter skin. To rock the look, try wearing a single metallic hue allover your lid, or turn up the drama by blending a few shades together (try a gold from lashes to crease, a champagne hue on browbones, and a deep, coppery-bronze along crease). Add black liner and two coats of mascara, and you’re done! We like Too Faced Natural Eye Neutral Eye Shadow Collection ($34), an extensive eyeshadow palette that comes with taupe, dark brown, champagne shimmer, bronze, honey, gold, and deep bronze shades.Read More:
