Eye shadow can be a bit… intimidating, to say the least. Throw in the duo-chrome or multi-chrome pigments all over social media, and you may not even know where to start. Well, I can tell you first-hand that these light-shifting pigments may be more wearable than you may have assumed at first glance. The trick is to find a buildable formula and place it strategically. That’s right; you don’t need to be a pro to pull off this latest, eye-catching shadow trend. Instead of applying the multi-chrome eye shadow all over your lids, try these four trending and subtle loos you can wear daily.
- Just the Inner Corner
Instead of sweeping multi-chrome pigments all over your lid, try applying it just into the inner corners of your eyes. This look sits at the ideal balance of subtle and wearable but still trendy and eye-catching. Plus, there’s practically no room for error—you can even apply with your fingers!

- Center of Attention
Another example of strategic placement: pick a focal point for the multi-chrome pigments to (quite literally) shine. Start with a neutral shade all over the lid, and then apply the multi-chrome shade just in the center of your eyelid. Blend it out a bit or choose a stark contrast—your call.

- Winged Liner
My favorite way to wear eye shadow? As liner! For me, it gives the perfect subtlety and hit of color—and in this case, shine, too! A richly pigmented, the liquid multi-chrome formula makes the perfect liner. The best part: you can go as thick, bold, and winged as you’d like!

- Floating Liner
Just when you thought it wasn’t possible, floating liner just got even cooler with multi-chrome pigments! Start by applying a liquid multi-chrome formula at your lash line and sweep it up over your crease. Get as graphic and creative as you’d like—the possibilities are endless! To make the look pop even more, apply a second coat once the first dries.

Complicated eye looks are fun and all, but sometimes you want to slap on a single shade of eye shadow and be done with it. Ahead, here is a few simple eye makeup looks you can create with just one product—no fussy blending or advanced application techniques required. Duochrome shadows are perfect for one-shade looks because their reflective pigments appear to change color in different lights, creating the illusion that you’re wearing multiple hues. Application is simple, too—pat all over your lid with your finger (fingertips usually work best for duochromes) and blend out the edges.
If you have hooded eyes, you know that applying eye makeup with limited eyelid space is a constant struggle. Take winged eyeliner, for example—once you’re done applying your liner, there’s barely any visible space left on the lid for eye shadow. Luckily, makeup artist Wayne Goss has a technique to help make the most of your lid space. Wayne’s push liner technique is a must-have for making small or hooded eyes pop, and it only requires a flat liner brush and black eye shadow. “This technique creates the illusion that the lashes are really dark and thick,” says Wayne. “So it adds definition without taking up any lid space.”
