Coastal Scents has some very good metallic hot pots. I don't like all of them, just based on my color preferneces, but they are truly metallic looking. I have several of them and love them as they are extremely pigmented. Honestly, they are far BETTER than anything MAC sells. They are also very cheap when compared to other brands, and very large. You can buy them separately as Hot Pots, like MAC eye shadow single refills, and put them into their palettes. The palettes come in either 4 pans or 12 pans. I have one of each. They are very high quality, sturdy as all hell, some with a massive high quality mirror in them, and travel really well. They are also very affordable. I got them when they were 40% off, just recently, and absolutely love them. Even their matte Hot Pots are killer. Very pigmented, really smooth, and apply very nicely. My favorite matte shadows. All of their Hot Pots - the metallics, shimmers, mattes and others - are very different from their crappy 88 palettes, to be quite honest, which are not very good at all.

I love it on other people, but personally would not wear metallic. Hate getting glitter all over me.

I like Jenni and Tasha's best, I think everyone else's looks a little too subtle.

I love metallic eyes, they are so versatile. They can be dark and dramatic but also soft and dreamy, and everything in between! I love playing with golds and bronzes because they flatter all skin tones and tend to look chic but effortless.

Personally, I have always really hated Katy perry's look and would never try to emulate anything she does. She just always looks like she's trying too hard and that she isn't wearing her own true style. Nothing she seems to wear winds up looking good on her. Makes me literally shudder as it's just painful to look at her clothing and makeup. The ChickAdvisor women look far better than Katy perry, IMO, although I have never and will never put one speck of glitter on my own face or body. I haven't yet seen anybody wear glittery anything - be it eye shadows, liners, mascaras, etc - that it looks good on. Not face to face or in the media.

My favorite 2 of the above women are definitely Alexandra and Michelle. I also don't feel that metallics are only reserved for people who are in their 20s and 30s only. I'm 43 and have plenty of different eye shadows in many different finishes, several of them being metallic. I would never hesitate to wear them, and never do, based on only my age. Pigments can also look very metallic when foiled, which I also use quite a bit of for lining and on my lids.

My favorite intense 'metallic' look is using those new L'Oreal Infallible eye shadows. God, they are seriously gorgeous and look very metallic to me when foiled. I'm surprised none of those products were used for these 'transformations' as these looks are not quite what I was expecting when I saw the word 'metallic'. I thought the looks would be a lot more intense.

I think it's a fun look, but not for everyone. My favourite is Jenni's.

Fun look for 20- early 30 somethings

These looks are really gorgeous for spring and really catch the light! My favorite makeup transformation is Tasha's! How pretty!!

The transformation in these photos is very subtle, however it does work well for everyday wear. I would go a little more dramatic for an evening out.
