Lupita Nyong’o Lights Up the Red Carpet With a Bold Metallic Makeup Statement

Ever since Pat McGrath’s gilded guerrilla makeovers in Paris last fall, gold statement eyes have been spotted in heavy rotation. But leave it to seasoned color-blocking pro Lupita Nyong’o to show us how to take the tricky shade from an exuberant beauty risk to the kind of stunningly wearable look that even die-hard makeup minimalists can get behind.

The actress was spotted at the Los Angeles premiere of The Jungle Book with a neat, richly pigmented arc painted on her lids, a light-catching look that felt both sunny and graphic. A lime green top and chunky necklace offered another cheerful pop of color, while her pale lips acted as a neutral counterpoint. The finishing touch: natural curls that were smoothed back with a slim triple headband. Because when your makeup is this good, why not let it shine?
