8 Bronze Eyeshadow Looks For Fall 2015
As much as we’d rather not acknowledge it, August is nearly halfway through, but rather than lament the end of summer, we’re looking forward to finally testing out some of the gorgeous autumnal beauty looks we saw on the Fall 2015 runways. Chief among them is bronze eyeshadow, which is both universally flattering and appropriate for nearly any occasion.
The metallic shade is also the perfect way to transition summer’s fresh-faced makeup into the richer hues that have become synonymous with fall beauty. As Fashion Week demonstrated, there’s more than one way to execute the bronze eyeshadow look. Take a look at how designers incorporated bronze eyeshadow in their Fall 2015 shows, then grab your nearest neutral palette and get blending.
