Who would’ve imagined the metallic-makeup craze would have such staying power? But as we face the cold, dreary months ahead, the dazzle of a shimmering come-hither eye and sexy glossed lip seems like the perfect way to fend off the winter doldrums. For those who want to look luminous year-round, Afterglow’s Multi-Tasking Mineral Eye Shadows ($14 each; afterglowcosmetics.com) will infuse your makeup regimen with an alluring dose of light reflection. Made from a blend of natural micro-pulverized minerals and pure color pigments, these pots of powder are suitable for even the most sensitive skin and come in a lush palette of brights and neutrals, as well as gold, silver, and bronze. True to its name, this product does multitask: It’s perfect for both day and night and, when applied properly, will create the illusion of radiance and depth (since the pigment is so pure, a little goes a long way). A delicate sweep of gold, silver, or bronze along the cheekbone and bridge of nose gives the face a dewy glow, while just a touch added to lipstick, balm, or gloss produces a brilliant pout. For a subtle shimmer, colors like Peacock Blue and Detour (a sexy deep purple, shown) can be mixed with a drop of water and applied with a thin brush as an eyeliner followed by a light dusting of powder; more daring divas can use a sponge tip to create a bold, high-glam effect. —Gigi
